    Floor-to- Ceiling Windows Part 2: Design Ideas

    Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco

    In the first series of this two-part blog, we discussed the many benefits of floor-to-ceiling windows. We also recommended the best styles for oversized units, making function reconcile with form. Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco offers a couple of design tips to help you make the most of them. For your window replacement in San Francisco, keep these things in mind to use floor-to-ceiling your glass fixtures to their best effect:

    Choose the Right Seats

    Most full-height units call for no seats to leave the large views unobstructed. However, in some instances, adding some seating brings more utility to the space. If that’s the case, make sure to style up the area with fitting furniture pieces.

    A good rule of thumb is to use a sleek bench with slender legs for decoration. The absence of backrest helps minimize the amount of area blocked by the seat. Strongly consider see-through pieces, too. Acrylic and glass pieces of furniture minimize visual clutter significantly. Better yet, place collapsible seats to move them elsewhere and clear the view with little fuss.

    Use Dark Interior Trim

    The usual consequence of capturing expansive views with large windows is too much daylight. To mitigate strong illumination, one of the ideal solutions is painting your interior trim black. The darkness of your trim would fight against the sun and make the light bearable to look at. For your windows replacement in San Francisco, we suggest Terratone® among our many interior frame colors. This hue would beautifully match your black trim.

    Put a Premium on Furniture Arrangement

    Should your furniture face the window, or the other way around? Your decision should depend on how you want to use your floor-to-ceiling units. For instance, orient the seat to the window for outdoor inspiration. On the other hand, arrange your furniture 90° from the glass unit to avoid catching the stream of light directly.

    Deciding to buy floor-to-ceiling units requires a lot of thought. You have to visualize how all design elements should coexist to pull off your project.
