Home » What You Need to Know About Garden Windows

If you are seeking a way to add more light and fresh air to your home, adding a window is the best investment. However, if you are looking to add a bit of architectural intrigue as well as some extra space, investing in a garden window could be the best home decision you make all year. Both beautiful and practical, garden windows offer a lot of space, sunshine, and fresh air that you will immediately love.

What are garden windows?
Garden windows are windows that offer the three dimensional look of a bay window. However, these garden windows are typically a bit smaller than a three window bay version. Instead, garden windows come in a variety of shapes and sizes, though most are small enough to tuck into smaller spaces in your kitchen or bathroom.

Garden windows may be a new addition to your home, but they will seem like they have been there the whole time. The windows are casement style, and the veneer surround can be easily stained to match the rest of your home.

What makes garden windows special?
We love garden windows for their versatility. These windows are small but mighty, packing a big punch when it comes to adding a new design element to a small space that could use extra sunlight. Even better, garden windows offer the extra space that is the perfect environment for a potted plant – or two, or three – to live.

How can I use my garden window?
We love seeing garden windows anywhere in the home, though the kitchen could be our favorite spot. Garden windows in the kitchen offer the perfect place to start an indoor herb garden, giving you easy access to fresh herbs to add to your cooking.

While garden windows go nicely in the kitchen, this isn’t the only spot! Consider a garden window in your bathroom, powder room, or even in a dark closet space. Your garden window will offer that extra burst of sunlight that can make all the difference in your space.
