When you think about upgrading your home’s windows, do you ever wonder about adding a bay window? Most homeowners imagine replacing their existing windows with modern versions of their current models, but there’s no reason you can’t go bigger. In fact, there are quite a few reasons to upgrade to a bay window.
Create Extra Room
Whether your space is small or you just want to add additional seating or storage, a bay window creates the room you need. These windows can add several additional square feet to any room, allowing you more space to do what you want or just to alleviate the cramped feeling in a too-small room.
Additional Ventilation
Don’t assume that bay windows are just nice to look at. They’re also highly functional and provide you with additional ventilation for your home.
Improve Curb Appeal
There’s nothing quite like the wow factor a bay window can add to your home. That’s good news if you plan to sell, whether that’s now or years down the road.
Improved Value
Unlike some home upgrades, adding a bay window increases both curb appeal and home value, allowing you to sell your home for more when the time comes.
Create a Window Seat
Want to create a cozy nook where someone can sit and read at their leisure? A bay window paired with a window seat is a great solution and will provide not just seating, but a commanding view of the surrounding area.
Add More Light to Your Space
Natural light offers a lot. It can beautify your home, help reduce your electricity costs, and more. And few types of windows let in more natural light than a bay window. Plus, with Low-E coatings and other advancements, letting in more light doesn’t have to mean letting in damaging UV rays or additional heat.
Show Your Plants Some Love
While bay windows are great for seating areas and dining nooks, they can also be a great way to show your house plants a little love. They allow plenty of natural light into the room so your plants will thrive, and you can use the additional space created to show off your plants and flowers.
