Common Spaces With Angled Windows

Many spaces may have angled windows in and around your home, including:

  • Sunrooms/Enclosed Patios
  • Living Rooms
  • Great Rooms
  • Entryways
  • Master Bedrooms
  • Lofts

Each space has its trends, but some common themes allow you to take advantage of the light and views angled windows provide.

Maximize Your Sunlight Usage

One significant benefit of angled windows, beyond their architectural style, is that they allow more sunlight into your home. So why not make use of the natural light these windows provide? Some elements you can have in your design include:

  • Glass decorations: These can capture aspects of the sun’s light and create vibrant centerpieces that draw attention to your favorite areas.
  • Mirrors: Mirrors can help direct sunlight into the most convenient areas of your room and, with the correct placement, make a room feel larger.
  • Light-reflective colors: If you want to harness sunlight for interior design, choose paint colors that reflect sunlight and brighten the room further.
  • Natural decor: Sunlight is only one natural element of a space, and adding additional ones, such as wood furniture, plants, and water, can create a unique, organic space.

Consider Centralizing Your Furniture

Often, angled windows have accompanying windows that can take up an entire wall. If the entrance to the room is opposite this impressive expanse of windows, you may need help deciding where to put your furniture for living rooms and great rooms. We recommend centralizing your furniture and allowing the space to flow. For example, you can create a cozy conversation area by strategically placing two chairs, a sofa, and a table (or two) in the center of the room and then placing televisions, artwork, and other wall decor around the room as it fits your style.
