9 Ideas for Corner Windows

Want to fill your home with natural light or showcase a stunning view? With a load-bearing corner window, you aren’t limited by your home’s existing architecture. 

Ideas for Corner Window Placement 

The first step is deciding where you want your corner windows. 

Overlooking your yard or another area is a great choice. In your dining area or kitchen, a corner window can grant you uninterrupted views of your property while you eat, prepare meals, or clean up.  

In a three-season or sunroom, a corner window can bridge the gap between sliding doors, creating a beautiful all-glass environment off the back of your house. Think conservatory or greenhouse, but with style and comfort for lounging.  

Showcasing a stunning view if you are lucky enough to live somewhere scenic, showcase mountainous views, a desert horizon, or a wooded forest with corner windows. This offers an immersive feeling in your home. Whether you want your home to be inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s connection to nature or Nancy Meyer’s cozy traditionalism, a corner window framing a beautiful view is the perfect focal point. 

Corner Window Ideas: Decor 

When you have a corner window, you can let it speak for itself, or you can use it to elevate the decor around it. 

Adding curtains for privacy allows you to adjust your space — perfect for a serene bathroom or in a primary suite. Pull the curtains open to enjoy a view, and close them when you’d prefer to have your own space. Plus, stunning curtains can accentuate and showcase your corner window, making it an even more dramatic feature. 

Display a sculpture or art piece. Harness the natural lighting from your corner window as a way to feature a sculpture or other standalone art piece. You can even use your corner window as a nook for seasonal decor — imagine a Christmas tree surrounded by windows that feature a snowy view. 

Add light to a library with cozy built-in shelves, a library is a warm and welcoming space. Usually dimly lit with warm lighting, adding corner windows allows the bookcases to shine while providing a perfect place for an armchair and side table. A perfect place to read with natural light to avoid eye strain and a perfect view between chapters. 

Corner Window Ideas for Functionality 

Decor and design aside, a corner window can be a very functional choice for a home. Consider the following:

Create a plant haven with natural light. If you love keeping plants and gardening, but find it hard to get enough light in your home, a strategically placed corner window or two can help turn any room into a greenhouse. 

Gain a 360-degree view of your kids’ play area. Views aside, if you are a busy parent, keeping an eye on your kids while they play outside is vital. A corner window can help keep eyes on every inch of your back or front yard, adding an extra layer of safety or convenience.  

Liven up your workspace. If you work from home, especially during fall and winter, you know that a lack of natural light can hurt your productivity and kill motivation. Avoid working hours in a dark room by maximizing natural light with a strategically placed corner window near your desk setup!

Different types of corner windows will add a different feeling to your space. However, to retrofit an existing space, it’s very challenging to add a window that doesn’t have a load-bearing beam directly in the corner. This makes most of the best corner windows ideas impossible to execute. 

Luckily, TonyView™ windows are load-bearing, without the mullions in the corner. This means you can install them in an existing space, without any tricky feats of engineering. In addition, TonyView™ is ICC-ES Certified, which means it has been independently evaluated and approved by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES). This certification confirms that TonyView™ meets the highest standards for safety, structural integrity, fire resistance, and energy efficiency.
