Windows have a significant impact on your home’s style and visual appeal. If you want to make your property stylish and unique, move away from the traditional rectangular unit and try something different. There are many creative window styles out there that will make an impact, elevating the design of your space while harnessing natural light. To help you select a fixture that you’ll love, here are a few options for units that make a statement.

Interesting Window Styles to Include in Your Home

1. Arched

Arched windows have a rounded top. They do not open or close, so install them above a regular fixture if you’d like ventilation. Arches add elegance and draw the eye upward, so they are a popular choice for traditional homes with high ceilings. Because they make such a statement, they are a great addition to entertaining spaces like living and dining rooms.    

2. Bay

Bay windows stick out from the exterior wall to create a small nook inside the home. They are usually composed of three windows— one centered unit and two angled side glasses. These are excellent spots for breakfast nooks in kitchens or living spaces. You can also add one to a bathroom as a spot for your bathtub, using blinds for privacy as necessary, or in a bedroom where you can place a reading bench.

3. Garden

A garden window is a type of bay window that comes with a shelf to accommodate plants. It’s usually made of four pieces of glass, since there is an additional panel that serves as a “roof” for the unit. Rather than extending to the floor, this fixture is usually placed at counter height. Install this anywhere you want to feature plants, such as in a family room or off to the side of your kitchen.
