Replacing the windows in your house is a large project both in time and money. You want to think through which windows you want in your home. If you have a great room or room where you want to make a statement, you may consider putting in a decorative window. You might consider a bay window or a bow window. These types of windows have been favorites for decades, and they remain popular still. These two windows look similar to each other, but they have some distinct differences. Either one can help open up the room and make it look bigger than it is and help give the allusion of a larger space. A bay window or a bow window can bring a touch of class to a room.

Bay Windows
A bay window has three distinct windows that can be angled. The middle window is the largest of the three and typically is a solid fixed pane. It has two windows on either side that are much smaller. This type of window is best for a space that is large than 40 inches. A bay window sticks out from the wall on the outside of your house, and it can add a little more room on the inside.
Bow Windows
A bow window has four or five windows. Some even have six panes. They can be fixed, or you can vent them. This type of window is best for a corner or an exterior wall. These windows need a bigger space of 80 inches or larger. They are more curved, which gives a rounded look from the outside of the house. A bow window brings more light into your home due to many glass panes and can provide you a nook inside your house. A bow window will tend to cost more money and require additional engineering in your home before installing. You should consult a window installation professional before deciding what window you want to install.
A homeowner may choose a bow window over a bay window because it gives you the ability to design it to match your style. This type of window gives you flexibility. The amount of space available in your home may help you decide which window is best for your room. It would be best to consider the depth and width you have available when determining which window to install.
A bow window looks like a semi-circle on the outside, and it fits in with the more Victorian architecture. On the other hand, a bay window is more contemporary and looks best with modern style homes. You can install either window in any style of home, regardless of the design, because inevitably, it will come down to personal preference and what you want for your own home.
