When considering enhancements for your home, you may come across feature windows. In this post, we discuss what a feature window is and the impact it can have on your home’s aesthetics and functionality.
A feature window is designed to be the focal point on the exterior of your home. It can vary in design, from simple and understated to elaborate and ornate, and can be found in various sizes. The idea is to break the monotony of a facade and add a unique touch that draws the eye. Stained glass windows in churches are a popular example of this window type. An accent octagon window in a stairwell can serve as a feature window too.
Each property has its own architectural style that might dictate the placement and design of a feature window. It is important to consider the overall aesthetic. For instance, homes with a Colonial or Federal design may not typically incorporate feature windows, as they can appear out of place with the existing architecture.
Integrating feature windows can significantly enhance the overall style of your home. For instance, incorporating a smaller, uniquely shaped window like an octagon or half-round can provide a distinctive touch to an otherwise bland area of your home’s front. For homes with high ceilings, consider enlarging a front picture window with transoms and side windows to transform it into a dramatic centerpiece.
Given that many homeowners simultaneously consider door replacement when upgrading their windows, it’s pertinent to discuss the harmonious integration of feature windows with door enhancements. For example, those looking for French door installation may benefit from a complementary feature window that echoes the elegance of their new French doors or the seamless indoor-outdoor feel of a sliding patio door.
Incorporating feature windows during door replacement or installation projects can dramatically boost your home’s curb appeal and value. It can result in a seamless look that enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of your living space.
