Shutter Styles for Bay Windows

๐Ÿ”ฒ Full Height Shutters

A classic option that provides full coverage across the window. Sleek and simple, full height shutters are a great all-rounder for any room with a bay window.

โ€ข Ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and lounges
โ€ข Creates a uniform look across all panels
โ€ข Excellent for insulation and privacy

๐ŸชŸ Full Height with Mid-Rail

This is the most popular option for bay windows, especially in bedrooms or street-facing rooms.

The mid-rail allows the top and bottom sections to be tilted independently โ€” so you can maintain privacy while letting in natural light.

โ€ข Great for maintaining modesty at lower levels
โ€ข Ideal for bay windows in bedrooms and living spaces
โ€ข Clean, balanced appearance across all panels

๐Ÿ“ Want to explore slat sizes and layout options?

๐Ÿชž Cafรฉ Style

Cafรฉ style shutters cover only the bottom portion of your bay window, making them perfect for lounges, dining rooms, or period properties where natural light is still a priority.

โ€ข Maintains privacy at eye level
โ€ข Keeps the upper window section clear for sunlight
โ€ข Can be paired with curtains for softness

๐Ÿ“ Curious about cafรฉ shutters for your bay?

๐Ÿ’ง Waterproof Shutters

For bathrooms and kitchens, we offer waterproof shutter options that are designed to withstand humidity and splashes without warping.

โ€ข Suitable for moist environments and window sills near sinks
โ€ข Available in full height or cafรฉ style
โ€ข Easy to clean and maintain

Do Tier on Tier work in Bay Windows?

Tier on Tier Shutters have separate doors covering the top section and the bottom section. This style of shutters can look good on certain types of bay windows. ย Our knowledgeable consultants can let you know if this style would work on your bay windows.

๐Ÿš€ Performance Options for Bay Windows

๐ŸŒ™ Shutter and Shade

Our Shutter and Shade system pairs a plantation shutter with a built-in cellular blackout blind for enhanced room darkening. Itโ€™s ideal if you have street lighting, bedrooms, nurseries, or light-sensitive sleeping areas.

โ€ข More effective than standard shutters alone
โ€ข Helps darken the room and reduce early morning light
โ€ข Especially useful in front-facing bedroom bays

๐Ÿ“ Want to improve light control in a bay?

๐Ÿ”‡ Noise Reduction

For homes on main roads, we recommend shutters made from lightweight hardwood, like our Sark range, which can help reduce outside noise and improve comfort inside.

โ€ข Lower density materials soften external sound
โ€ข Combined with accurate fitting, can reduce noise transfer
โ€ข Works well in busy neighbourhoods or near schools

๐Ÿ“ Book a consultation to discuss acoustic benefits in your bay.

โ„๏ธ Thermal Efficiency

Plantation shutters can make a noticeable difference in improving the energy efficiency of a room โ€” especially in larger or older bay windows where heat loss is more common.

๐Ÿ“ Looking to keep your bay room warmer in winter?

๐Ÿ“ Getting the Fit Right for Bay Windows

Bay windows are rarely uniform โ€” every angle, projection, and frame detail matters. Thatโ€™s why precise fitting and layout planning are essential to getting a result that looks balanced and works beautifully.

One of the most important choices is slat size. For bay windows, we typically recommend the 63mm slat. Hereโ€™s why:

  • Larger slats require the shutters to be fitted further away from the window to avoid handles
  • This increased distance can throw off the visual alignment between the slats and the glass
  • In angled bays, this effect is more noticeable and can disrupt the clean sightlines

By using 63mm slats, we improving alignment and helping maintain a cohesive look across the full width of the bay.

During your consultation, our surveyor will assess your window layout and discuss all the fitting options with you, ensuring the best possible outcome both visually and functionally.

Every shutter panel is made to measure, and our surveyors will carefully plan the layout to suit the shape of your bay. We design individual shutter panels for each section, ensuring alignment is balanced and functional across the window.

Our shutters are installed by our own in-house fitting team, and we take time to walk you through every detail โ€” from style to slat size โ€” to make sure you get the right result.

  • Whatโ€™s the best shutter style for a bay window in a bedroom?

    Full height shutters with a mid-rail are ideal for bedrooms. They allow you to close the lower section for privacy while keeping the top open to let in morning light โ€” perfect for front-facing bays.

  • Can I use shutters in a bathroom or kitchen bay window?

    Yes โ€” we offer waterproof shutters that are designed for humid environments. These are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture resistance is essential.

  • Do shutters help with warmth or noise in bay windows?

    Yes โ€” our lightweight hardwood shutters (such as the Sark range) offer insulation benefits that can help reduce draughts and soften outside noise. For even more thermal and light control, Shutter and Shade is a great solution.

  • Can I get shutters fitted quickly?

    We offer UK-made shutters that can be manufactured and installed in as little as five weeks. During your consultation, weโ€™ll let you know if this is a suitable option for your bay.

  • Can I have tier-on-tier shutters in a bay window?

    We donโ€™t usually recommend tier-on-tier shutters for bay windows. Because each section opens independently, the panels can interfere with one another when opened, especially in narrower or multifaceted bays. Alternatives like full height with a mid-rail or cafรฉ style tend to work better.
  • Do you curve shutters for bow or curved bay windows?

    No โ€” we donโ€™t curve shutter frames. Instead, we design individual panels for each section of the bay and align them carefully to follow the window shape. This approach gives a neat, functional finish and preserves the clean lines of the design.
