Natural light can help reduce your energy bills, save money and help the earth. Having beautiful new living room windows can also offer a range of benefits for your emotional and physical health.

1. Corner Windows
What is a Corner Window?
Designed as a single unit made up of two or more sashes that span both walls of a structure and meet at the corner, a corner window is an excellent way to bring natural light into your living room. Corner windows make the most of your outdoor views, creating a design focal point from interior and exterior angles.

2. Bow and Bay Windows
What is a Bay Window?
Bay window styles have three or four smaller units installed side-by-side. Together, these smaller units make up an expansive glass area that allows more sunlight to trickle into the room. Bow windows are like bay windows, only with softer curves and angles.
If you have standard living room windows, consider replacing them with a bay or bow window. Both bay and bow windows protrude from the exterior walls, which gives homeowners added floor space—perfect for setting up a sitting area or reading nook in the living room.
