The right kind of windows can contribute to your home’s interior design. If you have remodeling plans, your checklist should include your windows. Renewal by Andersen of Denver shares interior window design tips that may just help you with your next remodeling project.
Install Specialty Windows for a Unique Look
Standard window styles are rectangular in shape, and maybe your interior design calls for something a bit less conventional. This is where specialty windows are ideal. Specialty windows are built with frames that are anything but four-sided. The design could be a triangle, a pentagon, an octagon, or even a full or half-circle. Specialty windows can be installed as standalone windows or combined with standard windows to create interesting shapes.
Think About How Much Natural Lighting a Room Needs
Natural lighting is a good thing, but there is also such a thing as too much natural light. If you want to hang a valuable artwork, you won’t want to hang it in a room where there’s a lot of direct sunlight. In the kitchen, too much direct sunlight may make the area hotter than is comfortable.
Window treatments may help you control the amount of natural light that gets indoors, but it’s not always the ideal solution. Choosing the right window sizes or styles can help. Better yet, choose windows with a low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) rating – they will let more natural light in while blocking ultraviolet (UV) radiation and solar heat.
Research the House’s Architectural Style
Some architectural styles just won’t look complete without specific window designs, and anything different would look out of place. For example, if you have a Tudor-style home, you’ll want to choose casement windows with diamond-shaped grilles. Traditional Colonial-style homes have more flexibility in terms of window styles, but double-hung windows with grid-style grilles always look best.
