Bay windows are often associated with Victorian and Edwardian properties and, while they remain popular, box bay windows provide a more modern variation. If your home has a box bay window, you might be wondering which type of window dressing you should choose. Shutters are great way to style your windows and improve your property’s kerb appeal. Read on to find out why you should consider shutters for box bay windows.
Shutters for extra coverage
If you have a box bay window in your bedroom, you’ll want to stop the light from entering the room so you can get a good night’s sleep. Blinds and curtains will sit over the individual windows, letting the light creep through around the window frame. Shutters on the other hand provide that extra coverage as the framework is made to stop the light in the corner of the bays.
Styles to suit
Full height shutters on living room box bay
Shutters come in a range of different styles, allowing you choose the right look and functionality for your home. Full height shutters are perfect for a streamline finish, while bi-fold tier on tier allow you to open the top and bottom shutters independently, to give you more control over light and privacy. Furthermore, when open, tier on tier shutters fold neatly to one side. Whatever your style preference, shutters will sit compact to the frame of the windows to make your room feel bigger.
Shutters and curtains for a cosy combination
If you like the idea of shutters but want to add extra warmth to your interiors then double up on your window dressing with a shutter and curtain combination. Shutters provide privacy as and when you need it, while curtains add a softer material for a cosy finish. By doubling up, you can also increase insulation in your home during the winter. What’s not to love?
Create an area to relax
To complement your shutters, create a stylish, relaxing area by installing a window seat under your bay. Here you can sit back, open your shutters, and watch the world go by. You can also include storage space under your window seat, making it a multifunctional feature in your home.
For a beautiful, functional addition to your box bay windows, shutters are the perfect choice. Not only do they look good from the inside, they also look fantastic from the outside. If you want control over your privacy and light and to increase insulation in your home, while adding a contemporary and sleek window covering, then shutters are for you.
