Decorating a Living Room Bay Window

July 5, 2018 By Lauren

I received the pillows described in this post for free in exchange for my honest review.

A few years ago my husband and I had a bay window installed in our living room. For a while, I was unsure as to how to dress up the window. I have been meaning to make a custom window seat cushion for the space, but haven’t gotten around to it yet! In the meantime, I’ve found a much easier (and quicker) way to dress up a bay window.

At first, I only had a simple cushion that I had sewed on the window seat. At the time, the cushion matched the color scheme of the curtains that I had in the room.

Colorful Pillows for a Window Seat

A while back, I had the opportunity to work with Paint-A-Pillow and made some pillows for my backyard’s Adirondack chairs .

I also made pillows for a DIY garden bench I made.

I love this cozy outdoor seating area, with a DIY bench and stenciled pillows

I soon realized that my colorful stenciled pillows from Paint-a-Pillow would look great on the bay window seat I also decided to add a comfy throw to the space and replace the more sedate curtains with easy DIY curtain panels that I made in a vibrant yellow and white print.

I really love all the color that the curtains, throw and pillows add to the window seat!

Maybe one of these days I’ll make that custom window seat cushion, but I’m happy with the throw and pillows now.

    The stenciled pillows came out so pretty, Lauren! I especially love the “waves” pattern. I wish I had bench seating with our bay window but it’s located in our living room. Would love to replace our dining room window with a large bay window (with bench seating). Nice job with the pillows!

      I hope you can get your dining room bay window, Tee! Hope you are enjoying your summer! Looking forward to getting together again sometime.

    I just love all of the pillows on your bay window. I hope to get a bay window in my kitchen someday! Yours is so cheerful!

    I love a big Victorian-style bay window, you can find plenty of them in Cardiff, U.K. However, many people don’t take the time to style them as nice as you have, and that’s a shame. Thanks for the tips!
