Statement-Making Shades and Blinds for Bay Windows
Seriously, who doesn’t love a bay window?
These panoramic nooks flood interiors with light from three directions at once. But that dramatic profile also makes dressing them a design puzzle; off-the-shelf options rarely fit them properly.
This is where Covered Creations is here to take the guesswork out of one of the trickier window treatments. Our experts help us solve every puzzle we find in Dallas-area homes with the perfect bay window treatment.
What's the Difference Between Blinds and Shades for Bay Windows?
Blinds feature horizontal or vertical slats—and shades are made from a single piece of fabric. Both can work on bay windows, as long as you choose a suitable style and depth that fits into the tight angles and low clearances.
Considerations for Shades and Blinds for Bay Windows
Bay windows present a unique installation challenge because three panels meet at angles, typically 30 or 45 degrees. Low-profile, inside-mounted options work best, as they tuck into each panel without crowding the trim, sticking out too far, or bumping into other sections.
Getting those measurements right is where most retailers fall short. Bay panels don't always share the same width, and angled corner posts make standard measuring approaches unreliable for those who don’t know the field inside and out. At Covered Creations, our professional, in-home custom measuring and installation means that professional installers account for each panel's dimensions and corner angles, for a flawless fit.
Hunter Douglas Custom Blinds for Bay Windows
Hunter Douglas offers wood and alternative wood horizontal blinds that pair well with bay windows.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds are made from genuine hardwood and finished in elegant paint or stain colors. Because they're made from real wood, we recommend them for windows with limited moisture and UV exposure. Prolonged humidity or intense direct light can affect the material over time, so living rooms and bedrooms are better fits than bright kitchens or sunrooms.
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds deliver a real-wood aesthetic without sensitivity to moisture or sun damage. Featuring Performance Plus™ Protection, they resist fading, warping, bowing, and discoloration over the long term. That durability makes them a smart, practical choice for kitchen bay windows or other high-humidity rooms.
