Should You Stick With Just One Window Style?

Windows not only contribute to the function and energy efficiency of your home but to its overall appearance, as well. If you’re having new ones installed this season, you may be wondering if you should perhaps play it safe looks-wise and stick to just one window style. But is this kind of design choice actually necessary? The premier casement window replacement company in the area, Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City, offers a quick answer. 

Nope, It’s Fine to Mix and Match Window Styles

Most homeowners take a traditional, symmetrical approach when it comes to picking windows for the front of their home. They either want to stay true to their home’s existing architectural style or need to adhere to the design guidelines set by the neighborhood’s HOA (homeowners association). But the fact is that the window style at the front of your home doesn’t have to be repeated on all the other sides. You are free to pair different window styles together, just as long as they remain consistent looks-wise. 

• Create a unique combination. So you’re using two different windows on the same wall, but instead of spacing them out, you should fuse them together to create one large and unique window. One classic example is a picture window flanked by a casement or double-hung window on each side. Another would be double casements with an arched transom window above them. Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City, the reliable home replacement windows installer, can help you design more window combinations.

• Use the same trim color or grille pattern. Do you plan to use a large picture window and a bay window in the same room? This design choice seems like it would be a proper mess, but you can actually make it work with just a few considerations. In fact, even if the windows in a given room vary in style, they will still look cohesive with each other when their trim color or grille pattern is the same.
