10 Stunning Homes With Statement Windows

Tags:

Windows play a huge role in the amount of natural light in your home, the temperature, airflow and the view — whether this be of your garden or, if you’re lucky enough, a breathtaking ocean panorama. On top of this, windows are also one of the few features in a home that need to work in harmony with the exterior and interior in both a practical and aesthetic sense.

Windows are also great for creating a focal point or interesting design feature in the home. A custom-designed window in an unusual shape or unexpected location can become a work of art by framing a great view or adding a much-needed architectural element to a space. Looking to make a statement with your windows? Here are 10 designs that are sure to inspire.
