Bow Window

Even if your room is "technically" large, the wrong window can give it a cramped and stuffy feeling. But even a small space will instantly become larger and airier with the right layout. Especially if you chose a bay/bow window.

Bay windows are convex, which means they quite literally add space to your house. They aren't exclusively curved but linear and contain three parts: 1. a picture window in the middle 2. two windows on either side.

Bow windows are closely related to bay windows. The main difference is the absence of angles: their structure is rounded into a delicate curve. The structure can contain from four to six panels.

Those types of windows serve as a multi-purpose architectural element. The alcove they create can be used for storing, shelving, lounging — or all at once. Built-in cabinets can be cushioned and used as a reading corner or even a small home office.

To summarize, bay windows:

• enhance your living space;
• add at least four projection angles: you're getting multidimensional view and extra natural lighting;
• can be used as both a storage unit and a window seat;

Also known as oriel, or oriel window; projection windows
