Why Choose Picture Windows? 

Picture windows are so popular for good reason. They transform the scenery around your home into a work of art you can view at any time. These large windows don’t open but instead frame the view, and let in a lot of light, too. Say you’ve got a beautiful garden you’ve invested time and love into. A large picture window allows you to observe it in all its glory. Or perhaps you like to watch your kids shoot hoops in the backyard. A picture window gives you an unimpeded view as they play around outdoors.

 

That’s not all. Because picture windows let in a lot of light, they are good for the ambiance of your home and also your mental and physical health. Natural light, quite simply, is good for you. Factor in that plenty of light coming into your home can also help save on lighting bills, and it’s clear to see that picture windows offer a lot more than just beautiful views. 

And if you’re thinking about ventilation in your living space, you can always combine picture windows with double-hung windows or casement windows at the side to ensure the flow of air into the room.

 

Picture Window Design: Tips to Inspire You

Whether you are installing picture windows for the first time, or need picture window replacement ideas, we’ve got you covered!

Picture windows are often installed in living rooms to provide panoramic views of the scenery outside. They might also flood your dining room with natural light, provide an attention-grabbing vista in your bedroom, or create a focal point in your home office. In fact, wherever it is situated on your property, a picture window design provides a focal point for the room.

Here are some picture window design ideas we love:

Multiple Picture Windows

If you’re thinking about installing a picture window, you can maximize the natural light entering your home by combining a series of picture windows together. You could, for example, replace an entire wall in your living room with picture windows. This striking design feature would make your property look great from the outside, as well as give you a picture-perfect view of the world.

Floor-to-Ceiling Picture Windows

Picture windows can also be installed to run from the floor to the ceiling of your property. Custom windows or living room windows like these not only let in lots of light, they blur the boundaries between home and the natural world outside and help create the sensation of space.

Sunrooms Using Picture Windows

Picture windows can also be used as the glazing window style for a sunroom. This is an alternative to a traditional conservatory that’s integrated with your living space and provides a bright and light place for the family to spend time together. Why not also consider a comfortable window seat by your sunroom picture windows?

Colorful Window Treatments

Picture window frames can be painted or finished to provide a decorative touch, too. Dreamstyle Remodeling picture windows are available in more than 20 colors and lots of different wood finishes, so it’s no problem to get a picture window that matches your desired look. Decorative wallpaper or colorful drapes can also be used to frame the picture window and create a more striking effect.

Adding Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are stylish design classics and perfect for picture windows. They are made from everything from aluminum to vinyl, with fabric options also on the market for a softer feel for the vertical blinds in your home.

Let There Be Light!

Picture windows really are a great choice when you’re looking for a way of improving the stylishness of your home. Not only do they let in lots more light, but they also give views of the outside world unimpeded by sashes or small viewing panes. As well as providing a beautiful and durable way of enhancing your property, they can even increase its energy efficiency. Because our picture windows are designed to minimize heat transfer, they make your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system more efficient.
