Decorating A Bay or Bow Window

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Bay windows can create an intriguing focal point in your home, accenting your kitchen or living room space with depth and dimension. Their distinctive architectural design is an ideal opportunity for imaginative and creative decorating. So flex your creative muscles and discover the full charm potential of your bay window.
Curtains, blinds or drapes should accent your bay, drawing it in to the rest of the room through color, texture and pattern. At Metropolitan Window Fashions, our experts know all the most current styles, fabrics and hardware to create a beautiful look in the room – adapted to a bay or bow window.

For curtains and drapes, special bowed rods are designed for bay windows. Long panel curtains can elegantly enhance your bay – but just be sure not to block the natural light of your window. Café-style curtains are another smart option, as they can provide privacy, while still allowing light to stream through.

Shutters, shades and roll-up valances are also terrific options for bay windows, as they can keep your corner cozy and private, while being a quick draw away from opening up the space and light to full effect. Clean-lined and simple, they help avoid clutter in the space.   Visit www.windowfashions.com and contact one of our decorators for a free-no obligation appointment to help you create a beautiful look for your bay or bow windows.

What’s New at Metropolitan Window Fashions! 08/27/09

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

You may have heard about the product recall of over five million window shades that were sold at Target, IKEA, Home Depot Expo, Pottery Barn Kids and other mass merchants.  The reason for this recall is that these products are not child-safe.

We want to assure our customers that we have never sold any of the products being recalled.  We place a large emphasis on child safe window treatments that include break-away cords, cordless lift systems and motorized shades.

If you have any questions about your window treatments and whether they are child-safe, please call us – regardless of where you purchased them.  Please ask for our custom decorating department.  We are currently offering a rebate of $10 per foot – up to $100 per window – to replace old shades and blinds.
