The other evening I visited a friend's home for a holiday party. Her decorations were impeccable--garlands wound around the banister and wreaths hung above the fireplace and on the front door--but that didn't surprise me. Instead, I found myself most taken by her bay window. Last summer, to liven up the kitchen dining space, she had her contractor replace a flat window with a bay window. The new window adds charm to her home from inside and out, and boy did she hear the compliments.

Why Consider a Bay Window?

Maybe it never occurred to you that a new window could dramatically improve the look of your home. You were aware of energy efficiency perks attributed to new windows, but you hadn't thought about the extra light or improved view a new window would provide. Well, bay windows are the crème de la crème when it comes to transforming a home. Their three dimensional construction seizes sunlight from three angles and offers three times the view.

The Anatomy of a Bay Window

As you consider adding a bay window to your home, you should understand its components. While bay windows come in a many styles and sizes, central elements remain the same: three windows are joined (mulled) together. Narrower double-hung or casement windows flank the wide window in the center. These three windows are separated by two vertical uprights (mullion posts).

Popular Bay Window Styles

My friend's contractor installed a garden bay--the side windows come out perpendicularly from the house (a box bay) and the whole thing has a glass roof (which makes it a garden bay). Usually we think of angled bay windows where the panes slant away from the house at a 45 or 30 degree angle, but clearly, all three styles make a great design statement.
