How to Better Your Bay Window

Bay windows come in various angles, sizes and home styles. No matter what your bay window looks like, there’s usually one common theme: it is the ideal window style for a DIY project. For the homeowners who want to begin creative projects, there are virtually endless possibilities to change your window with a lot of creativity and a little bit of work.

From Pinterest and DIY design bloggers to your own mind’s creations, possibilities abound that will add a creative, practical twist to your home while using a space that is already there – your bay window. 

• Simple Storage: A bay window is a wonderful place to stow away belongings that need to be hidden, yet in a convenient spot. Instead of putting your winter clothes all the way down to the basement, conveniently store them in a bay window storage unit a few feet from your closet in sunny months. Storage units are also perfect for holding kitchen supplies for special get-togethers. Tuck your table cloths and fancy silverware in a safe space where they cannot fall or be touched. Add a flower pot or pillows on top to coordinate the bench into your space.
  
  
• Space Saving Seat: To accentuate and add even more practicality to your storage place, add a seat cushion. For windows in your kitchen, think about sliding your kitchen table over to the bay window. This will not only free up your kitchen space, but will also be a convenient and naturally lit place to appreciate family meals or chat with friends. Transforming your bay window nook into a seat is a DIY project that you can utilize every day, which makes the difficult work so much more worth it!
  
  
• DIY Desk: Whether you aspire to make your own or you’d rather just buy a desk, a good area to place it is by your bay window. You’ll have the perfect scene to gaze and enjoy beautiful days while still being productive. Spruce up your desk with some flowers to take place where a lamp would generally sit. Plus, they will the suitable amount of sun and smell good too.
  
  
• Reading Nook: Escape in comfort and quiet with this simple spot. For the quiet rooms in your home, your bay window is longing to become a reading nook. This project is made just like the seat acknowledged above, but booklovers can add a twist. Instead of closing off the front of your bench, make dividers to make a mini, horizontal bookcase underneath your nook. This allows you to be hooked on your nook without the need to move once you finish a book - you simply dive into your next novel an arms-length below you.
