Most people don’t really go around thinking too much about their windows and doors. However, these two components of your home actually contribute greatly to how we enjoy our houses. Whether it’s through letting in the warm sunlight or welcoming guests, our doors and windows provide character and convey hospitality. They also connect us to the outside world.
If you’re considering replacing your patio door, you might be thinking about whether or not you should match it with your existing windows. While there are no hard rules to this, here we provide a few tips to guide you in your purchase so you can make the best possible choice.
Should your doors and windows match? They could match, but they certainly don’t have to match. As mentioned above, there are no fixed rules when it comes to matching patio doors and windows as they are largely a personal choice. What you should pay attention to instead is matching your new patio door or window with the rest of your home’s architecture.
For example, a sliding patio door with clean, crisp lines will definitely look out of place in a traditional-style home as they are more suited to contemporary architecture. Likewise, the classical look of French patio doors may not work well if you have a modern house with large picture windows. Instead of trying to match your patio door to your windows, try to match it with the overall theme and feel of your home.
