A balcony or a bay window?

Question

I want to make my room cozy but I hesitate between keeping the balcony or turning it into a bay window this is how it is supposed to look if I change to bay window

If you have the finances, the bay window is a good choice and here's why:

1. You'll use the space more often.

2. You can still enjoy the nice weather without the bother of bugs, and with added privacy.

3. You can still grow plants and a potted garden without dealing with frost or insects.

4. You can still have fresh air if you have large windows and a window sill.

A balcony is rarely used in real life and you can't use it in certain weather. A bay window can be used in any weather.

Up to you.. I personally like a balcony better since you get to go out without actually going outside LOL but if you like the coziness of having extra space in an inside way then go for the bay window.

Depends on where you live. A balcony would be fine if the weather was good and warm year round, but not so good if there are cold winters, where the balcony would be useless; a bay window would be better.

If it were me, I'd go with the latter, which is always useful.

Also seems to be your preference.

tough choice but balcony. You can grow plants on a balcony its a lot harder in a bay window. Not to mention you can step outside and get some fresh air briefly whenever you want and then go back to what you were doing. I have one and it's very refreshing in the summer and spring.

Balcony. During a hot summer, it will be nicer to sit outside and enjoy the cooler air in the evening and at night. A bay window is a nice idea, but in the end, it just serves as a prolongation of your living room.

I would say... bay window, because it can be both a very nice and cozy bay window... but it can also pretty much work like a balcony if you manage to get more open windows... lol

Utilizing the balcony will give you more space, but I personally love fresh morning air with my coffee. It’s also cozy for dining el fresco.

I would go with the bay window. A balcony is not much use in the winter.

I love a good bay window but a balcony never disappoints.

Staximus · Answer

You don't change your balcony into a bay window. That's stupid idea which will devalue your home unless you live somewhere like Minnesota or Canada where it's freezing cold half the year

PrettyCrumblBb · Answer

First time I hear of bay window. I like both. I like that for a balcony you can add a little table and sit there eating breakfast. Only bad thing is someone can climb up your balcony.

If you like to sit on balconies, go that route.

I think this depends on the climate you live in.

Balcony for sure! Unless you’re in a super busy area with lots of traffic

katiesmuff · Answer

I'd keep the balcony, and what makes you think that legally you could even enclose that area in with the window.
