A picture window is something that we would suggest for anyone who is in the process of building a house, renovating their current home or adding on an extension to give some serious consideration. If it fits in to your plans and there is scope for at least one definitely give it some thought. In case you are wondering how a picture window is different from other standard windows we will explain that now. Basically a picture window is generally a large window that is a fixed pane that has no openings. Due to the fact that it doesn’t open or close it frames the view unhindered and brings in a lot of light whilst showing the outside landscape without any obstruction.
Picture windows can come in all different shapes and sizes. Square ones especially can be gorgeous with window seats under them. Picture windows look amazing in kitchens, utilities, living rooms and sitting rooms. Long rectangular ones look fabulous at the end of hallways in particular.
The picture window featured here is in a new utility room which was built on as an extension to the main house. The homeowner had always wanted a large square window that looked onto the garden and had regretted not making arrangements for one when the original windows and doors were installed. The homeowner decided on anthracite grey for the outside and white on the inside. What a lovely place to sit down with a cup of coffee and a good book wouldn’t you agree? The bench comes in as doubly functional as it is used for folding clothes that come out of the tumble dryer and off the clothes horse. Having lots of light coming in and a nice view to look out at it makes the laundry job less tedious.
