Through the use of luxurious fabrics and delightful details, a challenging shaped bay window can be transformed into a  relaxing and inviting space by any member of the Metropolitan Window Fashions decorating team . Every home should have a comfortable  place to sit and enjoy a cup of tea, read a good novel or just enjoy a lovely view and this bay window area  could be just the spot. The view of the lake is not hindered in any way by the choice of window treatment.  In place of heavy draperies or room darkening shades a neutral color scheme has been used to enhance the view.

Wonderfully full drapery panels puddle on the floor and are held in place by large tassel tiebacks. Soft roman shades in a contrasting neutral color make it possible to control the amount of light that is let into the room.  A padded cornice board with subtle bead trim tops it all off.

In order to accent the architectural curvature of the bay window, cushions have been created that follow the shape of the window.  The bolster pillows break up the expanse of seat cushions and add a bit of soft color to the space. Placing tassels at the ends of the pillows adds a whimsical and lighthearted touch.  In place of a solid wood frame, a mesh covering has been used on the front of the window seat. This visually “lightens” the look and has the added advantage of creating additional storage space.

Through the use of luxurious fabrics, soft colors and comfortable furnishings, an inviting space has been created that will make you want to curl up and take an afternoon nap just like the kitty is doing on the window seat.  For more information and ideas, visit windowfashions.com or call 908-755-4700 (in NJ) or 212-501-8282 in New York City for a free Shop at Home Design Consultation with one of our talented decorators.
