Window treatments for a box bay window in master bedroom?
Comments (5)I used a board-mounted box pleated valance on the box bay in my dining room. I screwed the board right into the soffit above the window. The way mine was framed, there wasn't enough room to hang a rod high enough to cover the top of the window trim. I made long panels of the same fabric for my living room windows. I used honeycomb shades on all the windows (not room darkening, but I did consider them). Most of the time I leave them up, but we don't have a guest room and the sleep sofa is in the living room, so privacy is an issue when we have overnight guests. Totally Confused...See MorePlease help me on interior window shutter colors!
Comments (2)Definitely light white or off white. Dark shutters block your view, visually your eye stops at the dark shutter but not a light color. It appears the room would be too dark with dark shutters....See MorePlantation Shutter Panel Size
Comments (10)Four panels sound like too many for that size window. I'm away from home but am thinking of one of our windows that's very close to that size...maybe 72" x 48". There are 3 panels on the window that look fine to me. All of our shutters were here when we moved in, so I wasn't involved in the sizing choices. My choice likely would have been 2 panels for that window. We have a larger window in that same room that's maybe 10 1/2 feet wide. That window has 5 panels. Not sure what the guidelines are, but I'd go with the 2 panels for your window. How wide will your louvers be? Wider is better! ETA - I would rely on your window specialist who...hopefully...knows his/her stuff. That being said, there's nothing wrong with thinking about what looks right or wrong to you....See MoreHow can I put pull down blackout shades behind plantation shutters?
Comments (1)Yes. There is plenty of room there usually in the case of a wood window where the plantation shutters are mounted to the interior stop. It will be a bit cumbersome, but can work....See MoreShasta
