Bay windows consist of one window in the center and two on the side. They are typically large, so they are able to offer a wide-angle view of the outside. With the extra sunlight they let into your home and the additional space they create, these windows easily appeal to homeowners.
Renewal by Andersen® of Southwest Missouri, a trusted expert in energy-efficient windows, lists four ways you can maximize the space in your bay window nook.
Window Seating
This is one of the most common and practical uses of a bay window nook. Some homeowners install a bench seating and make a dining area out of it. Meanwhile, others prefer using it as additional living space or a personal corner where they can read books or stargaze.
Bath or Claw-Foot Tub
Make bath time more relaxing with a stunning view of nature or simply with the extra natural light flooding your bathroom. Apart from building a bath in your bay window nook, you can also add a claw-foot tub to this area.
Home Office
Another popular option is to turn your bay window nook into your home office. If you already have a window seat, make sure your desk isn’t too high for you when you’re sitting. Also, take glare into account as you wouldn’t want this to disrupt the work that you’re doing on your computer.
Indoor Garden
Due to their size, bay windows are able to allow a good amount of natural light into your home – which is ideal for growing an indoor garden. Consider the direction your windows are facing since this usually determines the amount of sunlight you can get. Certain plants may need more sunlight to grow while others don’t require too much.
