Bay windows are a relatively common design in bedrooms, and are generally used to increase the usable area of the bedroom. If a small apartment can't make a separate space for a study, it is a good choice to convert the bay window into a desk. This design not only makes the space more functional, but also meets different needs such as study and office.
For many friends who want to put a desk in the bedroom, but don't know how to design it, you might as well take a look at whether your home is suitable for this?
Take a look at the bay window of your house first
Can it be smashed?
Bay windows vary in shape and size, and can be broadly divided into two situations:
There are no columns, the inside is empty, and the façade is flush with the building, with flat reinforcement, which is a shear wall. Just do a good job of waterproofing and restoration, and you can dismantle it.
This is what we often call a "real bay window", which can also be seen through the façade and protrudes from the exterior wall.
In addition to these two cases, there are also some fake bay windows that cannot be removed either, with some limitations:
The most intuitive way is to smash it open, the bay window position is reinforced concrete, if blindly removed, it may cause the entire bay window to fall off from the building structure, which is dangerous to people and buildings.
Some units found pipes such as manure pipes when removing the bay window, so there are hidden dangers in the construction, and it may not be possible to operate according to the original design drawings.
If you want to remove the bay window in your home, it is recommended to take the floor plan to consult the property first. If you haven't bought a house yet, you can also compare the floor plan and the façade, observe carefully, don't blindly believe the words of real estate sales, and avoid stepping on thunder.
How to do a smashable bay window?
It is important in the design and construction to ensure that the structure around the bay window is stable and reliable, especially the supporting structure, which needs to be able to withstand the weight of the desk and maintain stability.
The face width, size, height and position of the desk also need to be appropriate for the height and posture of the user, providing enough space for work or study, while also retaining enough movement and legroom.
In addition, you can add some functionality and storage space near your desk, such as drawers, bookshelves, or storage compartments, to provide more functional options.
As a bay window is an area with good natural light and beautiful views, it is important to design the desk in such a way that the work area does not block the light. However, it is also important to note that the desk is located next to the window and needs to be waterproofed to prevent damage to the board due to water leakage or moisture.
What to do with a bay window that can't be smashed?
If you can't smash a bay window, consider placing your desk on or near the bay window to maximize the use of space.
Just like a friend @FF home, it is designed directly when the whole house is customized, and the bay window is transformed with a sliding tabletop, and a drawer is made below to increase storage.
For families that have already been renovated, it is also possible to renovate them yourself. Install the three sections of rails commonly used on both sides of the ordinary drawer to the bottom of the desktop, install a vertical plate on the outside of the desktop, the upper edge is 1cm higher than the desktop, which is convenient to pull out by hand, and the lower edge can cover the bottom plate and the three rails used for leveling. The cost is also very low, only a few hundred dollars.
If you have similar needs, you may wish to follow this method to renovate, so that the bay window usually used to stack clothes becomes a space for office, study and entertainment, which greatly improves the room utilization, and the renovated bay window has also become the place where he and his child use it for the longest time every day.
The bay window becomes a desk, which is both practical and beautiful. Creating a comfortable study or work environment in a limited space can also make your home more welcoming and personal. If you also have a small bay window, you might as well try this design!
