How to Better Your Bay Window

Bay windows come in an array of angles, sizes and home designs. No matter what your bay window looks like, there’s normally one common theme: it is the perfect window style for a DIY project. For the homeowners who want to take on 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, rational 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 stock belongings that should be hidden, yet in a handy 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 steps from your closet in warm months. Storage units are also ideal for holding kitchen supplies for special meals. Tuck your table cloths and fancy silverware in a safe place where they cannot fall or be touched. Add a flower pot or pillows on top to collaborate 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, consider sliding your kitchen table near the bay window. This will not only open up your kitchen space, but will also be a cozy 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 purpose every day, which makes the tedious work so much more worth it!
  
  
• DIY Desk: Whether you wish 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 view to relax and enjoy beautiful days while still being productive. Design your desk with some flowers to take place where a lamp would normally sit. Plus, they will the right 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, construct 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.
