    5 Strategies and Guidelines for Getting the Best Window Views

    The right windows create a visual connection between indoor and outdoor environments, encouraging an intimate link between the occupant and their surroundings. Which is why a view, when properly “framed” by the right window, is an invaluable part of any home.

    Best Window Views

    When choosing replacement windows, Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey and New York Metro says employing the following strategies can help you pick the appropriate window style.

    1. Find the best angle – Many homeowners think about upper-level rooms when considering views, but ground-level rooms can have equally stunning views: a wooded area, a lakeside, or an open field. Go around your home and see which side has the nicest view before you choose the window style. In some cases, bay or bow windows would be more appropriate.

    2. Develop views – Alternatively, you can develop your own views with some creative landscaping in your own yard. Developing your own view adds the advantage of creating a custom view that fits your style and taste.

    3. Crop the view – Sizing windows can better emphasize a view, much like cropping photos adds emphasis to the main subject. For example, if you have a seaside view with a lighthouse in the distance, size the picture windows and position them so that the lighthouse becomes the focal point.

    4. Safety and surveillance – Windows with views can also be optimized for security. Upper-level windows let you see anyone approaching your home from a distance, while large yard-facing windows in your home office or kitchen allow keeping an eye on your kids as they play in the yard. Bay or bow windows add peripheral view, which is also great if you have unexpected visitors.

    5. Indoor privacy – One consideration with such windows is that it increases the risk of strangers looking in. Fortunately, privacy control is relatively simple with window treatments like shutters, curtains, or blinds. You can also opt for partially-obscured glass if you wish to permanently shield certain areas from casual onlookers.
