How to Work With Awkwardly Placed Windows

Some windows are placed in the most inconvenient positions. The asymmetrical orientation can be distracting, especially when you want to harmonize the overall aesthetic of your living space. Renewal by Andersen® of Portland, your trusted replacement windows provider, discusses how to work with awkwardly placed windows.

Design

Planning is an essential step in any home improvement project. Visualize how you want your room to look like, and make a concrete plan. This will let you organize your things and identify what furnishings to place in a certain area.

A tight schedule, however, can make it more difficult to sum up all the required design details. Hiring an interior designer to pick up where the window construction leaves off can be much more convenient. When no amount of tricks, however, can make your windows work, consider having a window replacement.

Centered Walls

A window placed in the middle of the wall can be problematic. You can, however, place simple shutters, shades or other window treatments that will complement your interior. This technique will improve the space planning.

Furnishings

The right arrangement of furniture can balance your room. Often, an awkwardly placed window can limit your home decor. Nonetheless, the right drapes and furniture groupings with the same visual weight can stabilize the room. A built-in bookshelf with the same height can also enhance the symmetry of the room. In addition, you can also place wall-to-wall drapes that partially overlap the windows. This way, people won’t notice them, being distracted by the decor.

When you turn to Renewal by Andersen of Portland for your window replacement project, you won’t have to worry about an awkwardly situated window. Upon installation, our professional window experts will discuss all the required details to guarantee a well-placed window.
