It's a South facing room. We have a lot of light, but I'm concerned with the 5 plain windows it would darken the room? Thanks.

Hi. You can get shutters with wide slats that will let in really quite a bit of light. Or go for cafe shutters for privacy with dress curtains. I can't save pics but Google shutters with wide slats

Ok. Thank you.

I am just concerned that with it being 5 windows there will be a framework in between. Would they feel closed in?

I think they look nice and not closed in. Google bay window with shutters and hit images and see what you think as there are lots that come up. Btw please ignore the word "dress" if you went for cafe shutters..if you're not sure you could go for Romans and also curtains if wanted but obviously the Romans would also block a little light

Shutters don't block out as much light as you think. Possible upto circa 15%. More than that you get to control the light which enters the room which can actually have the effect of increasing the light in different areas of the room.

You mentioned that "you know they will look great" and that they are very fashionable...sounds to me like your answer lies within your question. :)

Hi there, we think wood venetian blinds can look just as great as shutters without the hefty price tag. Take a look at some of these photos, where we installed white wood venetian blinds to bay windows. Wood venetians take up less space and you can have full control of the light. You might like to also bare in mind the delivery and installation time of shutters vs blinds. We can make made to measure blinds in just 7 days whereas shutters generally take at least 6 weeks. Please feel free to browse our gallery page for more photos of wood venetians in bay windows and let us know if we can be of any help.

We think that shutters fit better to bay windows, and give you more flexibility when it comes to controlling the light.
