There are endless possibilities to consider when deciding on the style of your home. Windows are a great way to show off your taste and accentuate a room, and vinyl windows in particular offer added versatility. They can be cut into virtually any shape that fits the needs of a room to create a focal point, add a touch of flair or simply welcome more natural light. Check out some ideas for vinyl window designs from New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc. to get you started.
Going Vertical
The shape you most likely picture when thinking of a window is a standard rectangle. That same shape can be taken to the extreme to add an eye-catching feature to a room. By elongating the height and narrowing the width, you can open up the possibilities for where and how you use these windows. When placed in tandem, tall and narrow windows can frame features in a room to highlight interesting details, such as a fireplace, high ceiling or unique arch. They can also be used as sidelights when placed next to a door. Because of their narrow width, these windows offer more privacy than a regular window, making them useful for bathrooms and bedrooms.
Frame the Outdoors
Is there a stunning view or interesting landmark that you can see at a certain angle from inside your house? Make the landscape around you part of the design of your home by using windows to frame features from outside. Whatever you are trying to frame, whether it’s a flowering tree or a view of the water, a vinyl window can be designed to fit the size and shape of the feature. Don’t be afraid to use a non-geometric shape in order to capture the essence of the landmark and draw people towards the window to take a look for themselves.
Match the Style of the Room
Harmonious design elements can transform a room from awkward and cluttered to sleek and stylish. Specially cut windows can help achieve this harmony by echoing the natural shape of the room. If the space features sharp lines and corners, a window with an octagonal shape full of angles provides a stylish complement. In contrast, an ovular window in a room with curved walls or a sloping ceiling reinforces the soft shapes that define the area.
More than Shapes
It’s easy to love vinyl windows for their flexibility in shape, but have you taken advantage of their full range of colors and finishes in your design? Use a wood grain finish to give your windows a rustic look while maintaining the durability of vinyl. Alternatively, choose a custom color that creates a striking contrast with your home’s siding to increase curb appeal. Make sure to explore the full range of options available so you can create a cohesive look that accents the house’s overall aesthetic from top to bottom.
