Got Bay Windows? Install a Window Seat!

Installing bay windows can do a lot more than dress up the exterior of your home. Read 3rd Avenue Window Supply’s tips for making the most of your bay windows.


• Install a window seat or a daybed! A bay window provides an alcove that is perfect for a lounge area. Once you install a bench lined with cushions, your family won’t want to leave this cozy nook. Plus, the natural light provided by the bay window will make the space bright and airy.

• Don’t have a guest room? An extra-deep window seat can double as a sofa bed for overnight guests.

• Do double duty. A two-tier built in can provide storage and seating by providing a place to house books and knickknacks and a place to sit.

• Two windows flocking an entertainment center can be augmented by two small benches that won’t interrupt the view. You can even install fold-out twin beds for additional sleeping room!

• A window seat can serve as storage in a small bedroom, doubling as an extra seat and a place to keep things.

• If your bathroom has enough space, installing a window seat with cabinetry can create a space to sit and to house towels and other items.

• Need a place to park your books? Install a bookshelf bench underneath a window. To emphasize the view, extend the seat by a foot or so on either side.

We hope this helps make the most of your custom window installations!
