How to Better Your Bay Window

Bay windows come in many different angles, sizes and home styles. No matter what your bay window looks like, there’s usually one constant theme: it is the ideal window style for a DIY project. For the homeowners who love to begin creative projects, there are virtually endless possibilities to transform your window with a lot of imagination 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 beneficial 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 excellent 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 benefit to your storage place, add a seat cushion. For windows in your kitchen, consider 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 use every day, which makes the hard 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 spot to place it is by your bay window. You’ll have the perfect scene to gaze and enjoy beautiful days while still being productive. Decorate 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 peace 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 put in 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 requirement to move once you finish a book - you simply dive into your next novel an arms-length below you.
