When designing a luxurious home, many homeowners think about size, grand interior design, furniture, expensive fabrics and materials, or extensive landscaping. However, there’s another design element that can help you make your custom home even more distinct in character and bring your design ideas together: luxury windows.
Custom windows can attract a lot of attention and also offer functionality, energy efficiency and improve the overall comfort of your home. Let’s have a look at five luxury windows for your dream home.
Benefits of Luxury Windows
Before we check out window types, let’s first briefly look at some of the benefits of luxury windows as they are both similar yet different from your regular standard windows.
Obviously, luxury windows are engineered to deliver great performance; they are still windows, after all. With low-emissivity coatings, multi-pane glass, and thermal breaks ensuring outstanding energy efficiency, these windows will not just look great but also help you lower your energy costs. A nice side effect is that they will also greatly reduce noise from filtering in, giving you peace and quiet as well.
What really sets them apart, though, is that they are a stunning addition to your home. Whether you’re looking for vinyl, aluminum, or wood, they can be made to match your vision to a T. You can choose from different decorative trims, sleek hardware, or intricate grid patterns, and they significantly boost the looks both indoors and outdoors, making your home unique.
Investing in luxury windows isn’t just about improving your home’s look and function but also a smart financial move. Homes with upscale features, including high-quality windows, have higher resale values and attract buyers who appreciate luxury. Plus, luxury windows add prestige and exclusivity to your home.
The Most Popular Luxury Windows
Now, there are many different ways to bring luxury to your home, so our list is by no means exhaustive, but here are five of the most popular luxury windows that can make your home pop.
Floor-to-Ceiling Windows
Whether you’re in a condo, a mansion or a beautiful house, floor-to-ceiling windows are an outstanding way to showcase both the inside and outside. It doesn’t matter if you have the skyline of Toronto, the stunning view of Lake Ontario in Hamilton or a beautiful garden; this window type lets you take in breathtaking panoramic views. It’ll make you feel connected to the outdoors but fully protected from the elements.
Another benefit is plenty of natural light that will stream into your home and make everything feel bright and open. So, if you want to impress your friends and family (or yourself), floor-to-ceiling windows are a great way to do that.
Window Walls
If you want to take that to the next level, then why not go window wall? Who needs walls when you could just skip that part and go all window? Having an entire section of a room made from huge glass panels will make it feel like you are outdoors and give you an even better view of the landscape or cityscape on the other side. With tons of natural light, you can also save on energy costs, promote solar heating and create the illusion that your room includes everything beyond.
Geometric Windows
Geometric windows are a great way to add unique style to your home. Instead of the usual squares or rectangles, imagine circular portholes, triangular gables or octagonal bays. Through the power of custom-designed windows, you can imprint your personality into your home and use them as accent features, statement pieces, or functional elements.
Your imagination is the only limit (okay, there are a few other limits, but you get what we mean), and you can fully apply it. Have a triangular window follow the line of the roof or create an x-shaped window as an immediate eyecatcher; there are endless possibilities you can take full advantage of.
Skylight-to-Floor Windows
Skylight-to-floor windows combine the beauty of traditional skylights with ceiling-to-floor windows. Imagine watching the skies and the view outside of your home with no obstructions. You can view it as an extension of your home, like a patio extending out, without worrying about rain, wind or bugs. It’s a spectacular and dramatic way to give outstanding views and impress everybody visiting.
Circular Windows
We already touched on geometric windows, but we wanted to come back to circular windows because they’re probably the most popular and impactful shape. Circular windows, also known as porthole or oculus windows, work in virtually any style of house. Whether you want an accent feature in a rustic cottage or make it a statement piece in a contemporary home, circular windows are as stunning as they are versatile.
