Bay windows are popular for their aesthetic appeal both inside and outside of the home and for their ability to let in lots of natural light. This versatile style is popular in kitchens and living rooms, giving your home a clean look and increasing its value. Although initially prevalent in Victorian homes, updated styles can be easily incorporated into the design of modern houses. With an extended panoramic view, this style adds a touch of elegance and opens up a room, giving the impression of a larger living space.
