Turning Picture Windows Into the Focal Point of Your Rooms

The picture window is beautiful on its own. Its expansive glass highlights a panoramic view, bringing in a generous amount of sun, and opening up the space. With the right window combination and treatment, though, you can further take its splendor to a new level.

Renewal by Andersen® of Montana discusses some of the best ways to make picture windows the focal point of your rooms:

Stretch the Drapes

Floor-to-ceiling draperies lend sophistication to your interior. Simple and classic drapes made from luxe fabrics offer the right kind of embellishment towering fixed windows demand. They noticeably emphasize the height of the ceiling, and aptly match the size of the glass.

Be Big On Bamboo

The use of organic materials is becoming the norm. The natural textures and earthly colors of bamboo blinds inject a rustic appeal into contemporary home designs. If you want to tackle window replacement to improve daylighting without sacrificing privacy, bamboo catches diffused sunshine while maintaining privacy.

Play With Prints and Patterns

Ornate curtains make an excellent window treatment if your interior design lacks eye-popping elements. On the other hand, Roman shades with neat lines produce a dramatic visual effect with sleek silhouettes. Both traditional and trendy, these two covering options have been dominating window fashions for long time with no signs of going away soon.

Use Oddly Shaped Transoms

Crowning your picture windows with an arched or pentagonal transom makes a quick but refreshing makeover inside and out. Combining them with operating units, like casement or sliding windows, will create ventilation opportunities.

The beauty of having transoms is that they allow daylighting when the primary windows are covered. They can help illuminate your rooms even when you desire total privacy.
