# How to Remove Bay Window Drapes to Make Room Appear Larger
Bay windows are considered a high selling point in a home. They allow in a great deal of light, let those inside enjoy the view of the outside and are low maintenance. When left unadorned, they can increase the illusion that the room is larger. Minimal drapery solutions are best so as not to detract from the beauty of the window itself.
