How to design and utilize bay windows

1. Utilize by height

Some people like to design the bay window as a leisure area, put a few pillows on it, and sit on it to bask in the sun when they have nothing to do. But in some rooms, the bay window is very high, and some are even higher than the bed. At this time, if you want to design the bay window as a leisure area, it will seem a bit strange. You can change it into a desk or a dressing table according to the height.

If the height is appropriate and suitable for sitting, it can be converted into a leisure area. However, if it is a bay window in the living room, you can also use the space of the bay window to directly convert it into a sofa or dining room, which is a good way to save space.

2. According to space utilization

If the room is relatively small, the bay window can actually be used for storage, making full use of the space below the bay window. You can build a few built-in drawers and cabinets under the bay window in the bedroom to put socks, seldom-read books and other sundries in them.

It can also be presented in a hollowed-out way, but it also maximizes the storage space.

3. Use by function

Some people turn the bay window into a leisure area, some turn it into a tea table, some turn it into a sofa, and some turn it into a desk. The specific use depends on the location of the bay window. The bay window in the living room can be considered a tea table or a chess room. The bay window in the bedroom can be turned into a desk or a leisure area. But you still have to choose the design according to your own needs.
