The Best Hunter Douglas Bay Window Blinds

On bay windows, the two angled panels and the larger viewing window create an unusual shape and size that can be difficult to style. Fortunately, at The Blind Alley, we carry Hunter Douglas blinds, which can be custom-fitted to your bay window. Our professionals will measure your window for blinds for your bay windows that fit precisely. Blinds are an excellent choice for bay windows because a turn of the slats provides light and a view or privacy and darkness, should you desire it.

We have three options available in more than 50 paints and stains. You can also choose decorative tapes for more personalized color and style:

Stunning Hunter Douglas Bay Window Shades

Select from bay window Roman shades, cellular shades, and roller shades. Hunter Douglas shades let in less light than the blinds, but they have more options for privacy. You can get sheer fabrics to keep the view or room-darkening fabrics for a bedroom or media room. Alternatively, the Duolite® system uses two shades that operate independently, so you can determine which shade you want to use at any given time.

  • Vignette® Roman Shades: can provide some insulation, and they have soft, billowy folds that add interest. They’re available in 25 colors and fabrics.
