Custom Shutters for Bay Windows: Design Ideas
Bay windows are one of the most beautiful architectural features in UK homes — and plantation shutters are arguably the best window treatment to complement them. Here's how to approach the design.
Why Shutters Work So Well in Bay Windows
Shutters follow the exact angles of a bay window, creating a seamless, built-in look that curtains and blinds simply cannot achieve. Each panel is made to measure for its specific section of the bay.
Full Height vs Café Style
Full height shutters give a dramatic, elegant look and maximum light control. Café style is a popular choice for bay windows in living rooms, as it preserves the view while providing privacy at seated height.
Colour and Finish
White and off-white finishes are classic choices that complement most bay window surrounds. For period properties, a soft grey or heritage cream can look stunning.
