Bay Window Seat

Bay window treatments requires special attention amongst all the windows in a home. These windows have sections or partitions in such a way that they look like three windows placed together with their vertical corners at an acute angle. They are very picturesque both from the outside as well as inside the house.

Different treatments includes decorating the bay windows with suitable window coverings and sometimes, modifying the window structure, if required.

For bay window treatment using draperies or curtains you can also make use of sheers. This way when you have the drapery or curtain open the sheers will still maintain your privacy while still allowing the light to flood in. The double curtain rods enable the sheers and the curtains to be hung together. The sheers are placed on the outer rod, that is closer to the window and the curtains are installed on the inner rod, that is closer to the room and away from the window. The double layer of the sheers and curtains allows you to manage the light and privacy as required during the day and night, respectively. The can also incorporate the use of swags and cornices on the top. The look of a bay style window treatment can be experimented with by covering and uncovering the middle and side sections, respectively and vice versa.

Another Bay window treatment is to make use of classy stained glass paintings on all or selected sections of the window glass. This can create a magical effect in the room. When light passes through of the colorful stained glass the effect would cause light to dance in magnificent colors along the wall of the room eliminating the need to hang additional artwork on the walls.

Sometimes, these style of windows have shelves or seat-like structures inbuilt which can be used in many different ways. These seats or shelves can be used for placing ornate crystal ware or decorative and flowery plants. If the seating area is large enough, then you can place cushions of patterns either matches or coordination with the curtains or blinds. This pleasant area would become a perfect place to sit and read a book during the day and star gaze by the moonlight.

The shelf of these windows can also be decorated in a special way depending on the occasion. If you have a romantic evening planned for the day, then you can decorate these windows by placing a huge bunch of roses and light a couple of candles. The whole arrangement will make use of the bay window to the fullest. A word of caution.
