Interior Design Tips for Rooms With Bay Windows

At Grassmoor Glass, it’s safe to say we have a soft spot for bay windows! They open up a room, allow lots of light to flood into homes and can be turned into everything from window-side reading corners to home studies. If you’re lucky enough to have bay windows in your home, just a few simple interior design tips could turn your windows into the focal point of your living room!

Decorate with blinds and curtains

Decorating with soft furnishings, such as curtains and blinds, is a simple way to tie together a colour scheme or to introduce new patterns to an otherwise understated room. To enhance your bay windows, why not double up on soft furnishings and use both blinds and curtains? You could experiment with contrasting tones or opt for a more subtle look with two shades of the same colour.

Use furniture to draw attention to your bay windows

The space between your bay windows is the perfect area to position statement furniture. Whether you want to install a built-in cushioned bench or leave the space open with just one furnishing (such as an armchair, rocking chair or on-trend scalloped chair), decorating with standout furniture is a great way to use your bay windows!

With a bay window, you can be as creative as you like. You could accessorise with stylish storage, a desk or even a fitted dining table. The choice is yours!

Decorate with potted plants

Bay windows allow lots of natural bright light to flood into a home, so by the window is the ideal spot to keep your favourite potted plants. Leafy green plants such as cheese plants and peace lilies have become an increasingly popular interior design accessory in recent years, so consider embracing this trend with the help of your home’s windows.

Use this space to hang a statement light fixture 

It might seem counterintuitive to hang a light fixture above your bay windows. After all, with a three-panel design, bay windows can open up a space and welcome lots of sunlight into the home. However, hanging a statement light fixture - such as a chandelier - can help you to take advantage of the sun’s rays! A mirrored or metallic light shade will reflect the light streaming into your home to make the room look even more spacious than usual.
