There are a lot of factors that play into whether a small room feels cozy or cramped, and the windows are a big one. The right windows can make the space feel brighter, more open, and more functional, so if you’re working with limited square footage, your decision on windows will be extra important.
Here are some smart window ideas to help you make the most of every square inch and keep your home feeling cozy and comfortable:
- Awning Windows: Awning windows are perfect for tight spaces like bathrooms, laundry rooms, or above kitchen counters. Since they open outward from the bottom, they won’t take up any interior room and can even be left open during light rain.
- Sliding Windows: The biggest spatial draw of sliding windows is that they don’t require any swing space, so they’re ideal for narrow hallways or rooms with limited wall space. You can get great ventilation with sliding windows and unobstructed views, without interfering with furniture or décor.
- Picture Windows: While this style is stationary, a picture window floods the room with natural light. When they’re placed properly, they can help even the smallest room feel airy.
- Combine for Optimal Effect: Opting to pair a stationary option like a picture window with an operable awning or sliding window gives you both style and function. We can work with you to assess your space and determine if this is an option, as well as recommend windows that pair well together.
