When you get replacement windows in San Jose, CA, it’s a great time to make changes to your existing window layout. Perhaps you will add windows or change the style. You could put in a bay window as well. Once that bay window goes in, you likely won’t be sorry. It’s a beautiful fixture on any home and offers you more natural lighting, a better view, and even additional space in that room. Here are a few ways you can use a bay window to its fullest extent.
Extra Dining Space
Bay windows curve out of the house and give you a little extra space in the room. You could place a small table in that area and give yourself a little nook for meals. It could also just give you an extra chair room in your dining room if you already have a table in place. Having that extra space can open up the room and make things comfortable during meals.
Storage Options
Bay windows can be coupled with a storage bench that sits right up against the window. You can store items that are otherwise in the way and you can also add a cushion to the bench and give yourself a comfortable seating area. You can sit there and read, or it can be a place to converse with your friends over coffee as you take in the sun and the view.
Pet Viewing
How much is that doggy in the window? Having a bay window is going to invite any pet you have to the sunlight and to enjoy the view. If you like seeing your pet when you get home, add a pet bed or cushion they enjoy close to the window and you can almost guarantee that’s where they’ll be when the sun is warm, and the view is clear.
Gardening
If you’ve always wanted to grow herbs and flowers inside your house, having a bay window can help with that. You will get lots of light and you can put pots and planters right there on the windowsill. You’ll have access to the herbs you need in the kitchen, fresh from the bay window. And you can grow some beautiful flowers to add color to the home inside and out as well.
Home Office Views
It might inspire you to put a desk that fits into the nook near the bay window, so you have lots of natural light, beautiful views, and a great place to work. It’s hard to go into any office when you have a home office like that.
