Common Window Design Trends for Your Home

So much of the discussion around replacing windows has to do with function. Are your windows letting in drafts from outside? Is the seal around your windows broken and allowing excess moisture to risk damaging your sills and drywall?

While those replacement factors are crucially important, the form factor is as well, especially if you’re looking to increase the value of your home. How do your windows increase curb appeal? Do your windows match the design aesthetic of your home, both inside and out?

Truth be told, both function and form of windows matter equally. But specific to form, design trends are ever-evolving, so The Window Depot of West Florida has compiled six of the most popular trends today.

Six Current Window Design Trends 

Big Windows and Natural Light - In lieu of the recent remote work boom, individuals are soaking up natural light while working from home. Nothing beats sitting outside; however, large windows that let in the most natural light possible are popular during colder months.

Custom Styles - Going outside of the traditional right-angle aesthetic of exterior windows has become more prevalent than ever. One custom window application that many overlook is sidelites to your front door, amping up curb appeal in modern or elegant ways, depending on your home’s construction.

Contemporary Bay Windows - Found in many homes built around the 1970s, this wide, often three-dimensional style remains unique, and today, modern iterations of this concept have transformed its function. For example, contemporary bay windows are now large enough to serve as reading nooks or seating in family rooms.

Transoms - Traditionally found above a front door, transoms are narrow, small windows installed to both increase natural light in an area and add visual interest to your home. Many newer builds are using transoms above the vanity area of the master bathroom or in walk-in showers to beam natural light into a room often illuminated solely by lighting fixtures.

Gridless Design - If you have a specific flair for modernity, gridless window designs will most definitely satisfy your design desire. These minimalistic yet bold designs are perfect if you are looking to facilitate unspoiled views of nature and your yard.

Interior Windows - For years, these seemed to vanish into obscurity; however, they are expected to increase in popularity thanks to remote work. Homes are likely to be more compartmentalized to separate workspace from living space, making interior window design features, such as glass office doors, a way to stay open and separate simultaneously.
