Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming

 

One of the reasons bay window systems have stood the test of time is their natural recess. But, can you maximize the added floor space? Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming shares expert tips to make the most of it:

Install a Banquette

Adding extra seating inside the bay window is a common practice because it always works. In the kitchen, the introduction of a curved banquette that elegantly outlines the shape of the bay makes for an instant attraction. Make sure to tie its details with existing design elements within the room to make it at one with the space.

Hide Clutter in the Base of the Seat

Don’t let the precious room underneath the seat go to waste. Turn it into a storage unit to keep the mess under control. This is especially useful when doing window replacement in a kids’ room that’s usually littered with toys. To avoid losing things and keep the design clean, consider having a cabinet that opens from the top.

Build a Counter

If you already have enough seats, a counter is a clever alternative. It can transform the bay unit into a dining spot, food preparation zone or reading nook.

Add a Freestanding Desk

The beauty of having freestanding furniture is that you can move it any time you need to redecorate. But whether you use casement or sliding window systems as sub-units, keep glare and privacy in mind. Use the right kind of covering to temper the light and hinder the view from outside.
