Small rooms in a home can present a challenge and often begin to feel claustrophobic over time. If you can’t expand the square footage in your home, you can still create the illusion of more space by your choice of windows. Two fabulous options are to add a picture window or a bay window.
Picture Windows
If your main living area feels tight and closed in, you should consider replacing one or more of your windows with a large picture window. This type of window, with one pane of glass and a low profile frame, will allow additional light to flood into the room. With more natural light coming inside, the room will feel less claustrophobic. A gorgeous picture window will also give you an unobstructed view of the outdoors, which is an attractive feature to have, especially if your home looks out on a forest, park, garden, or any other scenic view.
Bay Windows
If one or more of your bedrooms lack character and space, you should consider having a bay window installed in the room. A bay window will add charm and beauty to any space, and because of the outward projection of the window, the entire room will feel more spacious. When paired with a bench seat in the alcove, you’ll have a cozy place to sit and read a book or a spot to watch what’s going on outside. Place decorative pillows along the bench for the most comfort. You can even opt for a bench seat with storage for a place to keep miscellaneous items.
A custom picture window or a bay window is the perfect solution when you want to give rooms in your home a more open and airy look. Such windows will also increase the value of your home, which makes them an excellent investment.
