How to Match Windows and Rooms

When it comes to interior design, consistency is key. That’s why it’s important that every element in a room, especially the windows, fit in with the room’s aesthetic.

Renewal by Andersen® of Memphis, your trusted window company, shares some tips on matching windows and rooms in this guide.

 Match Windows and Rooms

Stick to Tried-and-Tested Combinations

You can never go wrong with classic combinations. After all, there’s a reason why certain types of windows have been used in certain architectural styles for hundreds of years. It’s because they work so well.

Here’s an overview of some of the most common architectural styles and the windows paired with them:

  • Double-hung windows and Colonial-style homes – Colonial-style homes usually have two double-hung windows beside the front entry door.

  • Picture or bay windows and ranch or split-level-style homes – Picture or bay windows complement the wood and brick siding of Ranch or Split-level-style homes.

  • Awning windows and prairie-style homes – Prairie-style homes make prominent use of wide spaces and have low-pitched roofs and an accented look. Awning windows help maintain this accented look and improve indoor ventilation.

  • Sliding and casement windows and modern homes – The simple, straightforward design of sliding and casement windows wouldn’t be out of place in a modern home. If you want to emphasize your sliding windows’ minimalist design, we recommend choosing Fibrex® house window replacement. Fibrex is a wood-and-polymer composite with excellent durability and minimal maintenance needs. Thanks to this durability, Fibrex frames are narrower than conventional window frames but can support the same amount of glass.

Adding a Personal Touch

You can tweak these classic combinations a bit to add your own personal touch to a room. Keep in mind that you need to make sure twist elements don’t clash with the windows or the room’s design. If you’re having trouble choosing a window for a room, don’t hesitate to consult a window replacement service contractor.

"The men who came out were able to work with each other good and professional showing us how the job would start and how long it would take. While they were doing their job they saw that the windows sills were off balance and very diligent and made it repairable to place the new windows in they cleaned up the area where they were working and made it look like no one had been there. They were very polite."

"Renewal by Anderson replaced our windows about a week ago. It made our home look brand new! Absolutely beautiful product!!! All the staff were kind and professional. Jackie and his crew did the installation and we have never had such a professional job done on our home! Highly recommend this company!"

"I have purchased 16 Anderson windows and they are great. The windows are perfect but the installation was the best. It is a joy having these windows in my 1910 home."
