Window Design 101: How to Match Windows to Your Interiors

A quick look at the window styles available on the market will show you various possibilities for your window design. This can be both exciting and dizzying. But if you know what to consider, the process of selecting windows and creating a window design can be simple and straightforward.

In this post, window and French doors installation expert Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City shares some window design tips to ensure the best outcome for your interiors.

Traditional Vs. Contemporary

Figure out which style better suits your interiors. If you have a traditional home, double-hung and multiple-light windows would be ideal. You can choose from various patterns of grille design to ensure your windows will reflect a classic style. However, if your interior has a modern style, you might find the clean look of casement windows more suitable. You may opt to add grilles to these windows if you want a softer and more transitional appeal. Or you can simply use solid panes of glass for a modernist look.

Illumination

Much like a sliding patio door, windows can brighten a room and make a big difference to your interior. But having excessive windows in a particular room can have some drawbacks. For instance, the early morning sunlight that comes through these windows can make a room uncomfortably warm. In living spaces, natural light can be minimized by using curtains. But in kitchens, the use of fabric is not advised, so you really have to plan out the window design in this specific area. That said, when designing windows in your kitchen, make sure to consider the path of the sun over an entire day. This will give you an idea of how hot or bright it can be at certain times.

Window Shapes

If you want to make an impact using windows, you will surely find speciality windows like bay windows a great choice. Bay windows can also provide extra floor space, which you can use for a window seat.
