  1. Bay Window

  2. Bay windows Bay windows became more popular in domestic architecture during the Renaissance, but first really took off right after that in the Baroque era. Baroque architecture is focused on dramatic lighting and tons of ornate and decorative additions. 

  3. Families can be like oceans. They're deep and full of life, but they can also make you feel like you're drowning or surrounded by sharks. Sometimes, you need a chance to escape for just a second to a something calmer than the ocean, a sheltered bay, perhaps. Well, your home may be designed for just that purpose. A bay window is a glass-sided recess in the home that protrudes outwards from the house. From the exterior, it looks like a decorative expansion growing out of the house. From the interior, however, it's the equivalent of what a bay is to the ocean: a small inlet that's slightly separated from main space. Plus, if you need to take a five-minute break from your family, it can be just the sheltered harbor you're looking for.

  4. Bay windows function Unfortunately, the formal purpose of a bay window is not to create a little space to sit in solitude and hide from relatives. It's to increase the surface area of a wall, and therefore increase the amount of natural light that can enter through that wall. Basically, by extending the window beyond the wall, you let more light in than if you had set the window into the flat wall itself. That's the intended function of a bay window. Many people also like this feature, however, because it adds a bit more space to the interior as well, making a room look larger or more spacious.

  5. Bay windows styles The box bay window is shaped like a box, generally a rectangular one. With flat sides, a flat front, and some sort of roof, this is an extremely common style of bay window that can be found across Europe and the Europeanized Americas. If the sides of the box bay window are angled instead of flat, it may also be called a canted window.

  6. Difference to bay windows A bay window has three openings, available in angled projections. A bow window usually has four or five. A bay window's overall structure consists of a picture window with two other windows, usually smaller, on either side. A bow window's structure is curved, creating a rounded appearance on the outside of the home.
