Best Ways to Make the Most of Your Sunny Windows

Sunny windows are often highly coveted by those who are seeking to buy a home and those who are keen on redesigning their current home. This no longer comes as a surprise since sunny windows offer several benefits – from bringing in an ample amount of natural light to ensuring an unobstructed view of the beauty outside. 

Needless to say, sunny windows can make a huge difference to your home, especially to its interior. It can make your indoor space look and feel cleaner, bigger and overall more attractive. If you’re planning to sell your home in the near future, such windows could help boost the value of your home and make it a more compelling choice for homebuyers.

Today, we share some of the best ways that you can utilize your sunny windows and make the most of it.

Reading Corner

Place your comfiest chair by the window. And every day, spend some quiet time in this area, reading a book and immersing yourself in new ideas or an incredible world. Add a few other details, such as your favorite blanket, one or two potted plants, a side table (if you fancy sipping tea or coffee while enjoying your book) and a lamp (if you tend to continue your book adventures through the night). Don’t be afraid to personalize the space – make it your own.

Bookshelf

Your reading corner won’t be complete without a special spot for your books. You don’t necessarily have to build a shelf for your favorite paperbacks – you can simply stack them underneath the windowsill or place them along the windowsill. The pages could work as a nice complementary accent for white walls, and the colorful spines can add some fun to an otherwise plain background. 

Breakfast Nook

Wouldn’t it be nice to feel the sun shining on your skin while having a hearty breakfast, right in the comfort of your home? Well, if you have a sunny window close to your kitchen, you can transform this empty corner into a glowing and cozy breakfast nook. Just add a small, two-chaired table, and you’ve created the perfect spot to drink your morning coffee or to munch on your favorite breakfast food. This can get yourself into a relaxing morning routine and a delightful start to your day.

Design Opportunities

Window replacement can create numerous opportunities for you to reinvent your space. Here are some awesome ideas to spruce up the sunny windows in your home:

  • Curtains – Soften the sunlight that enters your home so that it doesn’t interfere with your vision when you’re watching TV or working on your computer. A luxurious, gauzy curtain in neutral shade will not only temper the sun; it can also add a clean, refreshing vibe in the room.

  • Hanging plants – Simple, homemade terrariums with succulents, moss, dirt and river rocks inside will make your window a lot more interesting to look at.

  • Mini indoor garden – If terrariums aren’t your thing, you can simply place potted plants by the window to create a closer-to-nature feeling.

  • Vegetable garden – Grow your favorite herbs inside your kitchen. A sunny window would be a perfect spot to nurture these plants.

  • High-contrast space – Match your sunny window with a black wall, and you’ll get a sleek, minimalist look that isn’t shy to make an impact.

Bright Workspace

A bright, sunny workspace can do wonders for your productivity. So, set up your home office next to a sunny window, and see how this works for your headspace. Just make sure to keep the area minimal and organized for a more calming effect.
