As with any window, the way to get the best performance AND the most style is to layer treatments. Pairing a blind or shade with drapery or a valance gives you light control and insulation as well as adds a layer of texture and\/or color to your room. Combining two treatments is typical, but we\u2019ve even seen three treatments used simultaneously\u2026.now that\u2019s loving your windows!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8495 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit.png\" alt=\"Living room with bay window, Roman shades, patterned curtains, white sofa, and black coffee table\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit-107x107.png 107w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-1_edit-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4748 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"10\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2-300x5.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-2_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 11\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8496 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-2_edit.png\" alt=\"Bay window with bamboo shades, white curtains, and a valance in a bright dining room with white walls and a wooden table\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-2_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-2_edit-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-2_edit-440x298.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/spacer2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"10\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-3_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 12\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8497 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-3_edit.png\" alt=\"Bay window with white shutters and plaid curtains in a cozy living room, with a beige armchair and side table with lamp\" width=\"600\" height=\"809\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-3_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Layered-3_edit-222x300.png 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a sought-after architectural feature, bay windows can be as extravagant as a stunning exterior building attribute on a Victorian home or as simple as a bit of additional space behind the sink in a modest kitchen.
