Selecting the right window designs for your home is an important decision to make. The style, size, shape, and proportion can create a stunning look to a house, both outside and inside. Before making your final choice, take one more factor into consideration. Window treatments can put the right amount of emphasis on your windows by outlining the aesthetic features of your new windows and tying in the overall design of the room.
Specific Window Treatments for Window Designs
Bay and Bow Window Treatments
A bay or bow window in a room is the most dramatic way to take advantage of nature and architecture at the same time. With multiple panes that soar to the ceiling, this will surely be the brightest room in your home. Simplicity is key in dressing your bay or bow window.
