Bay windows can be used for a myriad of purposes - from seats to storage units, daybeds to reading nooks. But they can be difficult to get right. In this article, interior designer and blogger, Leoma Harper of @Styletheclutter shares her 3 top tips for how to create the perfect bay window, with examples from her own beautiful home!
Be it round, square or octagonal, bay windows are notoriously difficult spaces to dress.
With limited depth, embellishing these elegant alcoves can run the risk of obscuring views through the window, and furniture or ornamentation which is too tall, heavy or chunky can totally dominate the space.
The key is to find the right balance: adding interest with accessories and establishing a designated nook within the room, whilst using flattering shapes, and being careful not to over-clutter.
So, here's my top 3 style tips for how to create the perfect bay! I'll start with my most recent discovery, and by far the most flattering shape for a square or octagonal bay: curved-frame armchairs.
Issac armchair and footstool in Artisan Weave
Dating back to sometime between the late 15th and early 17th centuries, bay windows were typically found in grand houses, usually situated at the end of a hallway for hosts to welcome guests. This was very different from their function today: providing an abundance of natural light and utilised as storage units, reading nooks, benches, daybeds, built-in shelving and even kitchen/dining banquettes.
I've always loved bay window seating as somewhere to relax and watch the world go by. I usually choose a chaise long or armchair for these spaces, but the octagonal bay in our living room never felt quite right until I discovered the Isaac armchairs, from Love Your Home. We already had one Isaac chair in our dining room and I liked how this design rounded off the space's sharp edges. I had previously used them in clients homes too, so was familiar with the way their soft statement shape blends seamlessly into any interior - be it the corner or centre piece of the room. On working with Love your home to style this bay, I was confident they'd be ideal for creating a simple, stylish reading nook.
So my first formula for styling a bay window is using two Isaac chairs, a side table, standing lamp and ,of course, the Issac footstool to match. The gentle curve of the foot rest and armchairs instantly softens the space. But, perhaps more importantly, they don't overpower or obstruct the window - who could have asked for a better height!

I would recommend styling with cushions, to soften and add a touch of comfort; a side table and tall standing plant or lamp to add height variation; a rug to provide texture and create a cosy nook feel; and a magazine stand and some books to indicate what the space is to be used for. Rugs really help section off an area within a room and bring the furniture together whilst drawing you into the space and adding texture too.
Choosing the fabric for the chairs couldn't have been easier - Love Your Home has an amazing selection. However, I had my heart set on the stunning textured Artisan Weave (boucle style) fabric, paired with a Whisper velvet trim on the cushions, to blend in with the natural tone on our existing sofas.

My next formula would have to be a window seat. Providing much-needed seating and storage, all in one, they work brilliantly in smaller spaces. Made to measure, you won't need to worry about fitting it inside the space. Window seats are a great solution to bay windows which can only contain limited sizes and shapes of free-standing furniture due to their measurements. If you want to be even more space-savvy, you can add drawers below the seat, or have lift-up panels under the cushion. Curtains are a little tricky here, as they'd have to go straight across the whole bay. I would recommend shutters or blinds.
Try styling with cushions and adding a throw. It can be nice to add a bit of pattern too - either on the main seat pad or cushions.

If you don't want the commitment of a window seat, a small free-standing bench or sofa is a stylish alternative. Love Your Home's Isaac bench would work a treat. Elegant, petite and timeless, this modernist design is low enough to avoid obscuring views through the window or blocking light, and will add a chic look to your bay.

Formula three is a small low-armed sofa or chaise longue. These work best in larger bays, but you can create a similar look using an upholstered-style bench.
Tallulah Chaise Longue
To style, add further levels with a tall plant or standing lamp to one side. A rug, paired with cushions and a throw, will cosy up the space. Curtains work well with this look, adding a touch of luxury and softening up the space.
And that's it, my three favourite bay window formulas! I'm delighted to have found a winning look for the octagonal bay. The combination of all the items I mentioned here have really helped to create an elegant and inviting space.
Happy window dressing!

If you find that your dining room space has become the hub for stray objects and is no longer suitable for what it was intended for due to clutter or lack of storage space, you are not alone. However, there are solutions. Here you will find some dining room storage ideas you could never think of! The goal is to keep your dining room table reasonably clear the majority of the time. Except perhaps for a decorative centerpiece.
Moreover, if your dining room is a dumping ground for mounds of stuff from every part of the home, it's hard for such an important room in the house to fully serve its function. First, find homes for important and much used objects you find. So that they don't end up back on your dining room table a month later. Get rid of chipped, broken, stained pieces you no longer like or have no use for. Now, you're ready to make a home for the things you keep with dining room storage solutions.
Organization ideas for your dining room
Usually, dining rooms are void of any type of storage unit like a closet. Instead, sideboards and buffets are used which can be attractive and practical. Preferably, these pieces of furniture will provide shelves and drawers, making it easy for you to showoff your fine china while offering enough storage space. In fact, you can be creative and use a bedroom dresser or armoire to hold your items. Dresser drawers are usually deep and offer plenty of storage while adding charm at the same time.
-China, Corner Cabinets, and Hutches
These furniture pieces are beautiful and functional. They can be used for both storage and display. As they are taller than sideboards and buffets, there's more room for display areas.
-Storing, Displaying Objects on the Wall
If your dining room is rather small and space is tight, a creative way to add storage is to use the walls. You can find beautiful cabinets that can be secured to your wall designed with glass doors to display your dishes, glasses, and other knickknacks.
-Storing Linen
Most people use nice linens when entertaining for special occasions like holidays or birthdays. Special tablecloths, napkins, cutlery, glasses, china, placemats and more are stored for special events. These items can be placed in a drawer, china cabinet, buffet, or sideboard. If there is no place, don't forget about using your wall space.

Seat everyone in style and comfort with this guide to selecting the best dining table for your space.
SHAPE MATTERS
Circular tables are good for conversation and feel more inclusive, making it easier to talk not just to your immediate neighbours but everyone. Square and rectangular tables will line up neatly with other furniture and can be pushed against the wall if you need space, for a party, for example.

SIZE IT UP
As a rule of thumb, a square table measuring 90cm x 90cm, or a 90cm diameter circular one, will seat four people snugly. For six people, a rectangular 150cm x 90cm table, or a circular 130cm diameter design will work. For eight people, allow a table of 200cm x 100cm, or 150cm diameter.
Get the right size of table for the space. When you've found a table you like, and before you buy, check if it will work in your space. Cut and stick together sheets of newspaper to the size of your table, and lay the template on the floor to give you a sense of how it will fit. Remember you'll need around 60-90cm from the table edge to the nearest wall/piece of furniture, and if you can spare 100cm there will be even more room for people to walk behind seated diners.
Consider tables that can be extended if you like to have a big crowd over. Gateleg tables, which have a flap or flaps that fold down, are perfect for compact rooms. Check that there's enough space when at its maximum size.

TWICE THE VALUE
If your table will double as an eating and working space, you'll need one with a practical, hardwearing surface. For instance, a design with a top that can be re-oiled or painted would be better than a lacquered one.
