Many homeowners battle out whether to choose bay windows and bow windows when looking for new windows. Each style is elegant and offers space and natural light to a home, but both have different qualities that are better suited to various needs.

All About Bay Windows
Three panels usually make up a bay window: two smaller, angled windows on the sides and a vast fixed picture window in the middle. This style produces a comfortable enclave inside the house that is ideal for seating or accent pieces.
Bay windows are ideal for spaces where a bold, angular extension of the room is desired. They also allow for excellent ventilation if the side windows are operable.

Understanding Bow Windows
In contrast, bow windows are curved and composed of four to six identically sized panels. The result is a softer, more conventional look while improving the flow of natural light into the space.
If space is no issue, bow windows are a great choice as they can run around a corner of the house and give a panoramic view.
