10 Oct Tips to Turn Windows Into Any Room’s Focal Point
Good window systems are as stylish as they are functional. If your room is short on aesthetics, use Renewal by Andersen® of Central Florida’s tips to turn at least one window into its focal point:
Go Big
Oversized windows are always arresting. They’re impossible to ignore because not only do they occupy more wall space, but they also present nature as if it’s art. This is especially effective when you color frames and sashes black, which naturally draws attention.
Choose an Extraordinary Configuration
Centuries-old window styles can suddenly look novel when configured differently. Double-hung units with unequal sashes, pairs of casement windows hinged at opposite sides and sliding units mixed with fixed panels all seem familiar, yet fresh.
Pick an Odd Shape
If you want uniqueness, any window company would recommend specialty units. They’re a bold departure from garden-variety geometric designs. If your roof has nothing but rectangles and squares, introducing just a single round, triangular or polygonal window could spruce it up.
Select an Interesting Location
Any window situated in an unexpected place can be an instant center of attention. Look for an unutilized space or defy the norm to get your desired visual effect. A good case in point is a band of windows set low into the bathroom wall.
Surround It With Furniture
Transform your window into a cozy, multi-functional spot with a snug seat, a functional desk or a built-in counter. With the right pieces of furniture, the window would always be part of the action instead of quietly existing in the background.
Dress It Nice
Treating bare glass could bring more life to the otherwise characterless window. Pay attention to your existing interior décor to pick a covering with complementary elements.
Customize Grilles
Any design-savvy window contractor would attest to grilles being a good outlet for artistic expression or architectural aesthetic reinforcement. Using grilles to great effect can give any window a distinctive personality.
