Have you ever looked at your bay windows and asked yourself, "These are beautiful, but how can I dress them in a way that makes sense?" Not only are bay windows a striking architectural feature in the home, implementing a window treatment that properly fits their unique layout is challenging. 


The best way to place the shutters for them, though, is to use
wooden shutters windows instead! The shutters are the perfect combination of style, function, and durability, and in Reading, you can get them custom made at Woody's Shutters that fit the theme of your room.


Why Wooden Shutters Are the Perfect Fit for Bay Windows


You might have been thinking of curtains or blinds as the best solutions to your bay windows. But come on – we cannot deny that sometimes these choices seem to be large or even are hard to maintain, or they are just not a good match. On the other hand, wooden shutters are multifaceted. That's why we want to show you how wonderful those shutters can be for your bay windows:


1. Timeless Appeal


The discussion about the aesthetics shall start. With wooden shutters windows you will instantly raise the level of foremost haves, i.e. modern furnishing and style of the room in any of the rooms. The classic and timeless look is uniform, whether you prefer a snug cottage or a contemporary home. 


However, the natural texture and warmth of wood can make this window stand out from the rest in a positive sense. You are also enabled to set up the finish, colour, and style as per your taste for the interior design of your home. 


2. Control Over Light and Privacy


Imagine you have bay windows which are best for bringing in the light but, at the same time, on some days they allow way too much light into your home (especially if you live on a noisy street)? Wooden shutters blinds are the only solution that gives you the complete freedom to change the amount of light coming into your rooms, and also the possibility of having full privacy. 



3. Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting


One of the best things about wood shutters is how very low their maintenance is. Unlike the curtains, which can accumulate dust and need to be cleaned frequently, wooden shutters for bay windows are easy to take care of. A quick wipe here and there will keep them looking shiny and new. 


They are, in addition, incredibly robust, so they will not lose their aesthetic appeal along with time like many other materials of poor construction. 



4. Energy Efficiency


It’s shocking to know that the bay windows are the culprits for heat loss in winter and for heat gain in summer. So accurate! However, with the wooden shutters windows, you are in fact, adding heat insulation to your home, thus, somewhat reducing the heat loss. 


The result will be a stable indoor temperature with the least possible energy consumption. In this fashion, installing new wooden shutters blinds, together with the great visual lift, may also make your place greener – which would be a plus!


5. Custom-Made for Your Windows


Bay window shutters are peculiar in that not even one of them could be likened to another, and this is one of the strong points why the shutters for them should be made to order. Woody’s Shutters, uniquely positioned for creating custom shutters for your bay window, ensures that the shutters are measured and positioned correctly, there will be no protruding parts and no fitting angle which is awkward. 


Give us the measurements or even let us visit and do the work professionally besides the windows being standard, this makes the work easilier.

Which Style of Shutters Works Best for Bay Windows?


In the event that you want the right shutter style for your bay windows, you can choose from a variety of them that go extremely well with bay windows:


  • Tier-on-Tier Shutters: These shutters are the best choice for bay windows as they are made up of two separate panels – one for the top and one for the bottom. Thus, you can open and close the top area for light and privacy, while the lower one is in the fixed storage position. It's about control and flexibility.


  • Café Style Shutters: Café style shutters would suit you if you desire to let natural light come in through the upper part while you are kept private below. They cover only the lower part of the window, so they allow light to pass through the top.


  • Full Length Full Length Shutters: The magnificent thing about full vertical slats is their classic and established appearance. The window gets fully covered and you have complete light and privacy control. Moreover, they are fantastic in the larger bay windows which usually occupy the width of the room.
