The word "bay window" is increasingly pronounced when presenting apartments in new buildings. What does it mean? It turns out that everything is quite simple. The anchor is laid in the design of the room and represents a semicircular or multi-faceted ledge on the facade of the apartment / house. Most often this ledge is in the living room, but there are original designs with bay window kitchens and bedrooms.
On the one hand, the presence of the original ledge visually enlarges the space and makes it lighter (in case it is a bay window), but on the other hand the design of the bay window is quite difficult to arrange, so you often have to contact specialists. So, how to decorate a room with a bay window and what tricks can be applied? About this below.
Interior of a room with a bay window
If you were the owner of an apartment with a figured ledge, you need to take advantage of it and make it the main highlight of the room. Depending on which room the bay window is in, the design will change:
- Bedroom with a bay window . Here you can arrange a private space where you can listen to music or read. A high window sill can be converted into a bench by putting a pair of pillows on it or by ordering an individual mattress, and if you make the top fold, you can put bed linens in a niche. In addition, in the area of the bay window you can arrange a sleeping area, separating it with a light curtain or decorative partition.
- Children's room with a bay window . In the protruding part of the room, set up a table for table games. The workplace will perfectly fit into this part with a bay window, as there are large windows providing full illumination. Another option is to make the ledge the place of games, constructing a doll house or a place for storing toys there.
- Kitchen with bay window . Here you can arrange a dining area, putting out a beautiful kitchen corner for the bay window and a rounded table. Sunbed place is also suitable for winter garden.
- The living room with a bay window will always be light and especially cozy.

As you can see, there are a lot of usage options. If you want to use a ledge to create a certain zone, it is important to create a unique atmosphere in it. So, the ceiling in a room with a bay window can be made stretchy or of a gypsum cardboard structure, and the floor can be decorated with a contrast material that differs from the main floor in the room.
Furniture for the bay window
As a rule, this place is the main source of light in the apartment, so try not to pile it up with furniture, but simply decorate with elegant curtains for the bay window. Choose profile cornices (they can be bent along the perimeter) and a combination of several types of curtains. But if there is a shortage of space in the house, you can equip the balcony with a small rest area. There are usually used semi-circular sofas in the bay window or sets of armchairs and a table. Do not forget to decorate the table with flowers in a beautiful vase .
