5 Ways to Work With Your Bay Window
- Turn Heads with a Focal Point
Give your room a touch of class by transforming your bay windows into a stunning visual centrepiece. Draping curtains can bring a soft, elegant feel to your room, particularly if you have high ceilings. If you need something more practical, blinds can be customised in any size and style, or opt for sleek shutters that provide privacy, yet let in an abundance of natural light.
- Smart Storage Solution
Use the space offered by your bay windows to create smart storage. Installing a built-in cabinet is a clever way to contain all that extra ‘stuff’, like blankets, dining accessories, or even children’s toys, keeping your home looking neat and clean. Why not also add a window seat with storage, for a cosy spot to take in your surroundings?
- Create Your Personal Retreat
Take advantage of the extra space that bay windows provide by creating your own chill out spot or reading nook. SILKA Aluminium Bay Windows, featuring slim sightlines, will flood your home with natural light while keeping you warm with Thermafill® technology, paired with high-performance triple glazing.
- Indoor Garden
With light streaming in from all angles, bay windows can become the perfect place for sun-loving plants like Aloe Vera, Snake Plants, or Ponytail Palms. Continue the botanical theme with palm leaf print curtains or wildflower wallpaper and, suddenly, you’ve brought the outside in!
- Breakfast Bay
If your bay window graces your kitchen or is located at the back of your house, consider transforming it into a breakfast dining area. The natural light and expansive views can brighten your mornings – giving your family a healthy dose of vitamin D on the side of their cereal!
SILKA Aluminium Bay Windows offer slim sightlines, low maintenance, and the perfect blend of strength and style. For more bay window ideas and advice on crafting your perfect home, ask our team of SILKAspecialists.
