Home improvements are increasingly popular and people are often choosing to do up their current home rather than move, saving themselves stress and expense. There are a wide variety of changes that can that add value to a property, from conservatories to en suite bathrooms, but for a quick project with fantastic results, consider adding a bay window. It will add space and character to the house, and most of the time you don’t even need planning permission.

As there are windows on three or more sides, a bay window gets light for longer as the sun moves around the sky. You can also open the appropriate window to make the most of any breeze. Plants love bay windows, and having one can be a good excuse to get some foliage in the house. Not only do plants help create a tranquil atmosphere, they add oxygen to the air.

Another great thing about a bay is that it offers so much scope to dress up the room with curtains and soft furnishings. Having multiple windows means you can have a number of curtains to frame the space and an expanse of sumptuous fabric when they are drawn. While it was once difficult to find rods and ...
... poles the right shape to fit, there are now several options for hanging curtains in a bay which are both stylish and practical.

Poles and rods for bay windows have been problematic in the past because the brackets holding them to the wall got in the way of the rings. New designs mean this is no longer an issue. Steel poles can be bent to the exact shape of the bay and cut to length, so it is no longer necessary to have a separate pole above each window. This gives a more unified and elegant effect.

Another solution for hanging curtains is to use a curtain track. With these, the curtain is suspended from a number of gliders that slide around the track. Some models also have cords, allowing the curtains to be opened and closed easily, even if the window is very tall or there is furniture in the way.

A bay window can be a fantastic addition to any home, adding character and charm.
