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.

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.
