2021 has been a year of renewal as many homeowners have sought to improve their surroundings. We are now spending more time at home and using it differently. Home improvements can instantly create a more enjoyable living space while also adding value to your home and increase curb appeal.
Updating and replacing windows can bring in more natural light and help connect the inside of the home to outside areas with new sliding or folding glass doors. Another perk of replacing your windows is monthly energy savings. According to the government-backed symbol for efficiency, Energy Star, you can shrink your energy bill by 12% on average annually if you use energy-efficient windows and skylights. This amounts to $101-$583 a year when replacing single-pane replacements, and $27-$197 a year for double-pane replacements.
New trends and products within window fabrication have provided a plethora of designs to choose from. In the last few years, designers, builders and architects have been increasingly utilizing the concept of biophilic design. Biophilic design works to create a strong connection to the natural environment. The use of black window frames has surged as they beautifully frame outdoor environments and seamless glass technologies for folding and sliding doors to create new indoor/outdoor living experiences.
At California Window & Door, we can help guide you through the vast selection of window styles and designs. Here are 6 ideas to help inspire your next window and door project:
White on white
While black and contrast windows have been a strong trend, you can never go wrong with white window frames. Adding fanlight grids gives depth and sophistication to this kitchen window.
Double Doors with Windows
These double entry doors are in keeping with the black frame trend but keep it light with windows. A strategically placed hallway mirror helps bring more of the outside in.
Fresh Colors
2022 design trend alert! Soft tones like apricot and peach are predicted to be on-trend as we look to the new year and these tan windows look almost peach in color next to light blue walls.
Bring on the Views
Zero edge windows provide unobstructed views, creating an almost picturesque atmosphere, in this case nearly a “cliffhanger” experience.
Bi-Fold doors
We never tire of bi-fold doors. Well suited for desert living, they extend your living space so you can make the most out of our perfect climate.
Spanish Style French Doors
While Palm Springs is famously known for its Mid-Century architecture, there is no lack of Spanish-style homes. Rounded, French swing doors with beautiful woodwork enhance the style and add warmth and depth to a room.
Whether your taste is traditional or modern, there is a window style to match it. Replacing windows in your Coachella Valley home is sometimes the finishing touch to a successful remodel. While it certainly improves the design aesthetic, new windows and doors also add functionality and can help save on energy costs.
