Sometimes, a window is so much more than a window. It is a focal point of a room, or a bold statement of style. Perhaps it perfectly frames an incredible scene outside your home, or subtly highlights your impeccable taste. From period homes and barn conversions to ultra-contemporary living spaces, statement windows can look amazing in all types of property. If you want to create the wow factor with your windows, here’s what to consider.
Little or large?
When we think of making a statement, we tend to think ‘the bigger the better’. While large windows certainly do look stunning and allow heaps of natural light to get into a property, small windows can also create a unique statement of style. For example, a series of small windows along the top of the walls, each with a different colour of glass, is not something you’d see in every home! Unusually shaped small windows can also have a dramatic effect and add to the property’s personality. Small windows can easily be made into statements by clever furnishings that frame them and blend with the unique style of the rest of the room.
So, back to large. If you want to bring a delightful contemporary feel to your home, then big windows are the way to do it. Some homeowners even go so far as replacing entire walls with windows! One approach to choosing statement windows is to select options that show off the view outside them and the colours and textures of the rest of the room, rather than drawing attention to the actual windows. Understated, large windows that complement the rest of the room and the outdoor space are a great way to make a statement in your home.
Subtle or bold?
So, statement windows do not need to be big, nor do they need to be bold (of course, big bold windows certainly do look amazing!). If you subtly blend your windows with the room design and intricate features from the rest of your home, you can make just as much of a statement as with windows that are brightly coloured or uniquely shaped. Or, if you really want to go for it, then there are a huge number of colours and finishes that you can choose from – whether you want bright yellow frames for your cottage or turquoise frames for your study!
