Large Window Design

Here are a few design considerations when using large windows:

Use Color to Your Advantage

Large living room windows in Albany, NY, let in abundant natural light, so take that into account. You can either complement the natural light with bright and airy colors for your windows and furnishings, or contrast it with a dark and sophisticated interior. Your choice of color can also produce distinct effects when combined with sunlight. Earth tones like beige, brown, and red make the room feel cozy, while yellow and orange create a dynamic and refreshing appeal.

Position Your Windows Properly

Positioning your windows is also important. Think of your windows as picture frames or camera lenses. You only want to capture what you want to see. Cut off views of unpleasant parking lots or roads through the strategic use of blinds, curtains, or by moving the placement of your window. When thinking about your window’s position, remember to place it relative to the viewer. If you expect to sit or lounge at the living room, make sure the window is at eye level in that position.

Use Energy-Efficient Windows

While natural light is beautiful, it also has downsides. It won’t be comfortable even if you have large windows at a perfect position.
