A bay window seat can
add hours of enjoyment to a home. This is because bay window seats
are situated inside the area of the window that goes outward. They
allow one to have plenty of light for reading, and provide a comfortable
place to sit for one who is watching out the window. Bay windows can
be outfitted for storm protection by using storm windows for the bay
window. Additionally, it is possible to enjoy some seclusion with bay
window curtain ideas. Properly
installing and outfitting a bay window seat can be a great addition to any home.
Like any other windows, bay windows come as vinyl windows (plastic
window), wood windows and aluminum windows. Each type has particular
qualities. Vinyl windows are very popular because they are stronger
and more durable than wood (and easier to care for) while at the
same time being a much better insulator than aluminum. Vinyl comes
in many colors and can even be made to look like wood.
Bay window curtain ideas for bay window seats
There are a couple different ideas to cover bay windows with curtains.
Because of their shape, and the way they extend out, creating an
alcove, most curtains and drapes need to be hung along the outside
of the window. This means that when the curtains are closed, it creates
a space private from the inside of the house. Of course, people outside
the house can still see you if you are sitting in the bay window
seat.
Adding shades
or blinds that fit over each section of the window can make you
completely private inside bay window seats. Two common ideas are
to outfit the bay window with a curtain on a track, so that it
opens and shuts by pulling a string. This is not particularly elegant,
but it does the job. Another idea for a curtain is to use a very
nice curtain rod over the window, and use drapes to cover. Tie
back drapes can add a very elegant touch to the bay window. By
untying the drapes, you allow them to fall in front of the window,
obscuring the seat.
Bay window seats can be very fun, adding hours of enjoyment or helping
a child feel like he or she has a special place. Nearly any home
can be enhance by the addition of a bay window seat.
