A new year is a great time to enhance your home and its value with quality windows. It can be a little overwhelming to know which style to choose, so we’re sharing 5 great window style options for 2018.

1. Large Windows and/or Transom Windows

What better way to open up your space and transform your home than large, beautiful windows! Did you know that Next Door & Window can install a window where there wasn’t one before? So if there’s a place in your home that would be perfect for a window update, we can help you achieve that dream. However, know that you have multiple options. Maybe you do want more open space but don’t have the room or budget for large windows? Try adding transom window accents into the mix. Transom windows are great for letting in more natural light and fresh air, or they can simply be aesthetic and stationary. Grouping multiple windows together can also create the illusion of a larger space and add distinct architectural interest to your home.

2. Slider Windows 

Simply put, slider windows open horizontally instead of vertically, which makes them a great option for small spaces, low walls, or the elderly. Another great way to use a slider window is as a pass-through window, connecting one room in your home to another. One of the most common uses is opening up the kitchen to the outside deck. It’s a unique way to open up your space and stay connected to your party!

3. Bow or Bay Windows

Want to add dimension and make your home more spacious? Try adding a bow or bay window! We can assure you these beautiful windows will change the whole feel of the room. Bow or Bays also add value and appeal to your home. Bays usually consist of three windows sharply angled and connected together as they protrude from your home. They’re a good fit for more modern styles. Bow windows are similar, but have up to six windows and connect in a curvier way. Bonus? You can add a bench and turn it into the perfect reading nook.
