The cost of bay window plantation shutters depends on the style, size, and material. Measure your bay windows in sections and get accurate measurements for each panel to work out the price more precisely. We have a space at the top of our shopping pages where you can input your measurements, and that will show you the cost for every shutter range.

California Shutters’ self-install shutters offer exceptional value, helping you save significantly vs a full measure-and-fit service, where you can expect to add up to 40% more.

Bay windows look stunning with plantation shutters alone, offering a clean, stylish finish and excellent light control. However, you can also layer curtains or blinds for extra softness, insulation, or privacy. Lightweight curtains work well if you want to add texture without blocking your shutters, while blackout roller blinds can be installed behind shutters to provide additional room darkening. Some people also like to pair café-style shutters with Roman blinds above for added style and versatility. It’s all about what suits your style and needs best.

Shutters on bay windows are made up of multiple hinged panels, with the number of panels determined by the overall window width and your design preference. You can choose how each panel opens and stacks, for example, panels can fold towards the left, right, or stack concertina-style on one side. Wider panels tend to look more contemporary and allow more light when open but take up more space when folded. Narrower panels fold more compactly, ideal for tall or frequently opened windows. When planning your shutters, consider the window frame design and available wall space to decide panel sizes and hinge positions for the best look and function. Our team can help you choose the best configuration to suit your bay window.
