🔍 Types of Bay Windows
Understanding the shape of your bay window is essential when choosing a window dressing that fits properly and functions well. During your consultation, we’ll help you identify which layout you have and recommend the most suitable blinds or shutters for your space.
• Angled Bay: A flat centre with two angled side panels
• Bow Window: A gentle curve across four or more window panes
• Canted Bay: Similar to angled but often more compact or shallow
• Multifaceted Bay: Usually five to seven sides – often a feature window
• Triangular Bay: Two windows set at 120°, forming a sharp-angled bay
• Oriel Bay: Projects from an upper floor with a bracket or corbel
• Dogleg Bay: A central panel with one return panel, typically at an angle

🪟 Plantation Shutters for Bay Windows
Plantation shutters are a highly popular option for bay windows, offering a tailored fit, a clean finish, and reliable control over privacy and light.
🔲 Full Height (with Mid-Rail)
Our most common bay window configuration. These shutters span the full height of the window and include a mid-rail, allowing you to tilt the top and bottom sections independently. This is especially useful in bedroom bays, where you can keep the lower section closed for privacy while letting in daylight through the top.
🪟 Café Style
A great solution for ground-floor bay windows such as lounges and dining areas. Café style shutters cover only the lower portion of the window, offering street-level privacy while allowing plenty of light above.
🪟 Wooden Venetian Blinds for Bays
Wooden Venetians blinds are a stylish and practical choice for bay windows, offering adjustable light control and a warm, classic look.
• ✅ Suitable for square or angled bay layouts
• ✅ Best with 50mm slats for a balanced appearance
• ✅ Also available in Faux Wood – ideal for kitchens and bathrooms
• ✅ Motorised options for effortless adjustment across multiple blinds
🪟 Aluminium Venetian Blinds for Bays
Aluminium Venetian blinds offer a clean, modern look and work well in kitchens, bathrooms, or compact bay windows.
✅ Free-hanging blinds sit in front of the handles & are more cost-effective
✅ Perfect Fit blinds sit directly against the glass for a more integrated look
✅ Excellent for controlling light while maintaining a minimal profile
✅ Wide choice of colours and finishes
🪟 Vertical Blinds for Bay Windows
While not the most common bay window solution, vertical blinds can work well in wide or angled configurations — especially where height and flexibility are needed.
• ✅ Suitable for extra-wide or tall bay windows
• ✅ Neat and low-maintenance — wand-operated, no cords or chains
• ✅ Simple and practical solution for modern interiors
🪟 Pleated Blinds for Bay Windows
Pleated blinds offer a soft, tailored look with great options for privacy, heat control, and bay window flexibility.
✅ Free-hanging pleated sit in front of the window and suit most bay shapes
✅ Tensioned pleated – fixed close to the glass, ideal for child safety & added control
✅ Perfect Fit pleated move with the window & offer a neat integrated appearance
✅ Multi-zone pleated – position the blind at the top, bottom, or middle for flexibility
✅ Available in solar reflective and honeycomb fabrics for improved insulation
🎛️ Motorised Blinds for Bay Windows
Bay windows often include three or more individual blinds, which can be time-consuming to operate manually. That’s where motorisation comes in — providing easy control at the touch of a button.
• ✅ Operate all blinds in sync with a single remote
• ✅ Adjust slats effortlessly (raise/lower selected blinds only)
• ✅ Helps maintain symmetry and uniform light control
• ✅ Available across Wooden Venetian, Aluminium, and Pleated options
• ✅ Can be mains-powered or battery operated
Motorisation is particularly popular in living rooms and bedrooms, where convenience and style meet.
🪟 Intu Blinds for Bay Windows
Intu blinds are another practical solution for bay windows, particularly when working with uPVC frames or where a sleek, integrated look is preferred.
• ✅ Available in Pleated and Aluminium Venetian styles
• ✅ Designed to fit directly to the window without protruding into the room
• ✅ Options include bead fit, screw fit, and Micro Intu for narrow frames
• ✅ Ideal for tilt-and-turn windows or shallow recess bays
🧠 Expert Layout Planning for Bay Windows
Bay windows require more than just accurate measurements – they need expert layout planning. The goal is to minimise visible gaps between blinds, ensure they align correctly, and retain full functionality.
At your consultation, we will:
• ✅ Assess the angles and depth of your bay
• ✅ Recommend the best mounting style (face-fixed, recess, or frame-based)
• ✅ Position joins and gaps in a way that improves privacy and balance
• ✅ Tailor the blind type to avoid clashing cords or overlapping hardware
This is especially important for Venetian blinds, where we’ll work with you to determine which panel should sit at the front, and where to place support brackets to keep sight lines clean and symmetrical.
