Bedroom design with bay window
The design of a bedroom with a bay window does not tolerate trifles, even if "only" they choose curtains for the bay window. The interior of a room with a workplace in a bay window may also be very interesting. There are other design options that also need to be carefully studied and disassembled.
Design features
The arrangement of a bedroom with a bay window allows you to achieve the effect of a sophisticated and at the same time, of course, bold room. It is necessary to understand that the layout of such a room should be focused on both aesthetic and practical perfection. The main role is played by the formation of stepped walls, or the use of the play of light and shadows. Planners can work with the visual representation of the room.
The decisive role in this is played by the specific shape of the room, and furniture or decor is chosen only in accordance with it.
Bay windows are always cozy, and with skillful use they are also functional. It is very important to emphasize the individuality of the space with the help of such an element. The exit of windows outside the outer walls of the house is definitely a plus in terms of external design. From the inside, it expands the usable space, allowing you to achieve the impression of maximum spaciousness. You can choose how to use such a site in the house at your own discretion.
How to equip?
A simple bedroom-living room can also be considered, of course, as an option. However, this is boring and even downright clichéd.
The main alternatives are:
- the formation of a comfortable, cozy zone for leisure - they put a sofa and pillows or an armchair there, and sometimes a chaise longue;
- preparation of auxiliary sleeping places;
- a corner with a workplace;
- entertainment area, for morning coffee or evening tea.
To make the window look more interesting, the wall next to it is decorated with chic draperies. But there are no rules without exceptions, and simple and elegant textiles are often used instead. Some people use large storage systems. But the possible options do not end there either - a specific solution should be chosen very carefully.
The workplace can be equipped with a small writing or computer table, along the edges of which capacious small shelves are placed (for actively used small things).
In some cases, a window sill is used instead of a special table. However, this is nothing more than an auxiliary option that can be taken as a last resort.
Important: both when organizing a workplace and when forming a corner for leisure, you will have to put everything so that the view from the window is not obstructed. For a more pleasant and elegant rest, you can replace the traditional upholstered furniture with a wicker chair.
If the bedroom is reserved for children or adolescents, it is advisable to put a bed with large drawers for storing bed linen and other things directly next to the bay window.
Florists can display all or almost all of their collection on the windowsill. The room will immediately become much more pleasant and decorative. If the window sill is upholstered with soft fabric, it will turn into a small comfortable sofa. From the point of view of aesthetics, decorating a bay window with flower vases, sculptures or small fountains is also a good idea; but sometimes storage systems should not be installed, because they can spoil the appearance.
The choice of curtains for the bay window
In bedrooms with a round bay window, curtains are chosen purely to your liking. But you can afford much less liberties with the cornice - it must necessarily follow the contour of the structure itself.Lightweight curtains are suitable for daytime use. At night, it is recommended to use structures made of dense fabric, including models with lambrequins, with other decor. If you want to achieve a modern look, you can use roller blinds.
There are also such recommendations:
- choose curtains taking into account the style of the room;
- avoid too bright and catchy colors;
- achieve a harmonious appearance of the composition;
- in bedrooms with 2, 3 windows, it is advisable to frame each opening separately;
- a round bay window is nice to decorate with continuous canvases on flexible cornices.
Roman blinds are considered a versatile solution. They are grouped in a certain position and collected in folds. But to make the composition look lighter and expand the room visually, it is worth using tulle. Curtains are good because they fit into any bay window. They are mainly used as a dominant accent element.
To achieve an economical design, it is worth using blinds.
The widest variety of their types allows you to arrange any kind of composition. But in order to beat the window of a non-standard shape, to attract attention, French curtains are recommended. The Austrian type of curtains is also original, but slightly heavier (which is also important in many cases).
Finally, muslin is used when it is necessary to avoid visual weight.
But besides the type, the length is also important. Comparatively short curtains are needed if there is an intention to use the functionality of the window sill to the maximum. They will also allow you to place furniture near the window and save valuable space. On the other hand, long options have another important advantage - visual presentability. With their help, it is easy to make the space more chic; it is not very reasonable to choose between heavy and light curtains, if you can use both at once, depending on the time of day.
Examples of interiors
Something like this might look like a classic bedroom with a bay window. Everything looks laconic and quite beautiful. The lack of expressive colors helps to achieve an attractive feel.
And this is how the design of a bedroom looks like with a working corner in the bay window.
