Create a Bedroom Retreat in Your Minneapolis Home with the Right Windows

Have you ever thought about the importance of window style as you’re decorating your home? We find as we talk to prospective replacement window customers here in the Minneapolis area that they have thoughts on the particular style of windows they want in their homes, but thinking of windows in terms of decor is often overlooked.  But the style of window you work with can be very important to the overall look of your home.

Bay window with window seatWe’ve shared previously about recommended window styles for certain rooms of your home, but in this particular post we’re going to focus on bedrooms and how you can transform your bedroom into a private sanctuary.  Our stressful lives make it imperative that we have a getaway spot in our own homes where we can relax, recharge, and rest.  And the right windows can go a long way to making that happen.

  • You want bedroom windows that maximize the light during the day.  Natural sunlight is important to our health, especially in light of regulating your circadian rhythms.  So if your bedroom is a place you spend time in during the day, look for a window style that will let in as much light as possible.  Casement windows as well as gliders fit this, because they lack the middle dividing bar that traditional double-hung windows have.  (Of course, you’ll want window treatments that keep out light at night.)
  • If you’ve got the wall space, perhaps consider a bay or bow window that will bring in light from several angles.  Creating a lounging spot in that area means you can relax with a good book right in the sun!  (The photo shown above is a great example.)
  • But what if your aim is privacy?  If your home is close to your neighbors, what you might want are windows that let in air and light but keep the view into your bedroom concealed.  The right windows for this purpose are awning windows, mounted above eye level.
  • Choose a window style that will let you bring nature in to your room.  If your bedroom has a fantastic view, by all means take advantage of it!  In this case, the right window might actually be a door – a patio door for example.  Or choose window styles that allow for floor-to-ceiling configuration, like that shown here.

Can you imagine lounging in a bedroom like this, taking in the incredible view? The right windows are so important!
