CREATIVE WAYS TO USE YOUR BAY AND BOW WINDOWS

Originally for Victorian-style architecture in Great Britain, bay windows were adopted into American buildings in the late 1800s. Bay windows, along with bow windows, consist of two or more panes. A common sight in older homes, these usually feature a large expanse of glass.

Creative Ways Use Bay Bow Windows

Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis offers a few ways you can make the most of your bay and bow windows.

Built-In Banquette

Create a casual look by installing a banquette just below the sill and tossing on some pillows. You can also add a pedestal-style table of the right height to transform the space into a mini coffee area. Ensure a smooth transition to the windowsill by adding a shelf behind the back cushion of your banquette.

Dining Area

On your next windows installation in St. Charles, MO, add bay and bow windows to a room and make it a spot where you can eat. You can do this by raising the windowsills right above table height. Build a dining counter into the bay afterwards.

Study or Work Area

To create a built-in desk into your bay and bow window, make sure your windowsills are at the proper height for the desktop. You can use window treatments to make sure the glare isn’t too strong on your computer monitor. You may use blinds to moderate the light and still allow a view of the outside.

Bathroom Window Seats

You can build your tub into bay windows, to create window seats. You may use a freest anding tub and use the space around it to highlight the depth of the room. Using window treatments, such as blinds, drapes, or curtains, will help you maintain privacy.

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
