Windows
as functional elements add light, warmth and brighten a room.
As design elements, they can be incorporated into the overall
grid or layout of a room if they are unique or are placed in
original locations.
In this example, the windows
on the right bathe the room in light. Yet the windows above the
mantle help to frame in the fireplace, and distinguish the grid
layout. These windows are more architectural design elements
than functional elements.
Finding a window size or group
of unique sizes can distinguish the living room, giving it the
designer feel. Notice how the designer took advantage of the
shelving area below the windows to place the two white vases.
A subtle yet elegant approach that keeps the room from looking
too cluttered. |
