If you are planning for a window replacement project for your Clarksville home, one of the things that you might be wondering about is how to ensure your desired windows will match the room where they will be installed. Windows come in a variety of styles, designs and colors. You can even customize them for an ultra-specific look.
Of course, a wide range of window options is often a welcome treat for homeowners. But sometimes the task of selecting window styles for specific rooms can be quite a challenge.
The living room usually has the largest space so it can accommodate the biggest windows. However, a large window will only make sense if you do have a nice view. If your living room is next to a busy street or nothing at all, you might want to skip installing a big window in here. On the other hand, if you have a south-facing wall in your living room, you might want to place a large window there in order to get the most out of natural light. A good amount of sunlight can do wonders for your interior; it can make the room brighter and feel more spacious.
Dining rooms are mostly used at night when there’s really nothing much that you can look at, so a big window or numerous windows might not be the best idea. That is why many homeowners opt for few or no windows and rely on an interesting piece of furniture, art or even a fireplace to create visual interest in the room.
If you are keen on adding a window in your kitchen, casement windows would be an ideal choice because they are easier to reach over a counter or sink. Just be mindful, however, of how much wall space you have. You would want to leave enough space for your cabinets.
Window placement in a family room can be challenging. Due to the varying activities being done in this room, it can be tricky to find the right balance when it comes to lighting. Windows will obviously let natural light into the room, so you have to take note of sun angles and light levels. Make sure the sunlight won’t bother you whenever you are watching TV.
A window can be advantageous to have in your bedroom, especially if you prefer to have access to natural light or you have a stunning view that you can wake up to every morning. But apart from that, windows are essential in allowing for sufficient air flow during warm nights. Consider casements if you want operable windows. And, if you’re concerned with rain, awning windows would be a good choice because you can keep them open even when it’s lightly raining outside.
Installing windows in bathrooms can be tricky due to privacy. But if you want to ensure a fair amount of ambient lighting while keeping the room private, window styles like transom windows, skylights and glass blocks would be sensible options. Operable windows may also be a good addition so that you won’t have to rely solely on a fan.
