Ideas for Kitchen Bay Window Treatments

If you have a kitchen bay window you may be wondering how you can cover the window in a way that will compliment this beautiful architectural detail, while still maintaining your privacy when you want it. There are many different choices for covering a bay window. 

Shutters- You can purchase wood shutters to fit your bay window perfectly. This style of window treatment will allow you to have privacy when the shutters are closed, and will also allow sunlight to come through your beautiful bay window when the shutters are open.

Roman Shades- You can purchase Roman shades in a variety of different fabrics and patterns to suit the style and color scheme within your kitchen. You can have them installed to fit on the inside of the window, which will allow you to open them during the day to let in natural sunlight.

Valances- If you do not need the privacy that curtain, shades or blinds provide and would like to use valances as a decorative touch on your bay windows, this is an option for window treatments as well. Window valances come in many different colors and shapes to add visual interest to your kitchen space.

Curtains- Curtains are another option for covering a bay window. You can wither chose a curtain that is able to lock out the light when you wish, and then open it up in the day time, or you can use a sheer curtain that will add a decorative touch to the window while still allowing natural light into your kitchen.

Combination- If you want to combine window treatments, that is fine. For example, you can use roman shades, with a sheer curtain so that you can draw the shades at night for privacy while still adding the beauty of a sheer curtain.
