Living Rooms Windows Before & After

Replace bow window with bay window

last year

Hi I would like more light and floor space in my lounge so I’m thinking of replacing with a bay. Anyone done this before? Pros and cons and cost please and before and after pics would be really appreciated.

Bay windows offer a great opportunity for more light into a room. Perhaps you can share photos so people can visualise what you require/what you have now?

We offer a range of bespoke Bay Window curtain poles, made to measure when the time comes for you to dress your new space.

Best wishes

Sounds a good idea. I’ve not done this but I do have a bay window which adds space and light. For price you will need to ask a builder or window company to quote.

Hello egreevy, Okay, yes I see, it's a difficulty but maybe not impossible... Just whether you want to try to find out more about this.. Taking windows out to paint is a bigger job but it may still be possible.. ... So for the immediate.. Paint the front door (just the door) it might give a nice finish to have the side windows white.. Then you have a bit of contrast like your image above.. and add window boxes with lovely foliage or buxus.. it will work with the green you already have... I couldn't see as my screen was dimmed.. I think leaving all the ivy colour you have at present would be really nice.. (hence my suggestion of more green!! Also I wouldn't paint the pebble dash, to me it looks absolutely fine on the house itself.. Maybe the small boundary wall at the front and a bit of the garage.. Also a flat box hedge coming over the top of the boundary wall could be nice too.. It will be lovely and green.. : ) )

From the looks of things, that really is the only place for the sectional. So...can you pull it out just a foot maybe away from the window? Move your tv over the stove if safe to do and try a big plant in that corner where the tv is now. Your painting behind some is way too big for that wall. Move to opposite wall. I would remove the black loves eat and replace with two reading chairs and maybe that end table you have by the sofa. For window treatments I just do not see drapes/curtains working in this room with that sectional.

Gosh, I've returned after a week travelling for work to loads more suggestions - thanks all! To respond specifically: - the house faces south so gets the lovely morning (and in the uk, sometimes the only) sun. - the husband has avoided putting plants in the planters due to maintenance and they're generally twee so comments here have confirmed to me that they will be coming out - love the idea of wooden boxes with the spiky plants and grasses - also like the concept of taking out the grass/bed/tree in front completely out and replacing with slabs - yes to lightening the windows - to the Barn company, I honestly don't mind the advice and I'd never seen sloping garage roofs. - nicking ideas from landscaping of new builds....great idea! - finally, Helen Scholes, I'm embarrassed about the spelling of kerb. Had no idea! Thanks again all.

I would love a window seat so we are considering replacing our current window with a square bay window to allow for a window seat. Is this a big job? Would it be expensive? Or would anyone have another suggestion? Thanks

Don’t forget- it you are changing the front of your house you will need planning permission.

Ooh thought because I have a bow window now would only need building regs. I’ll see what the builder says thanks
