Your beach home is an oasis, offering a relaxing breeze, fantastic views, and dreamy sunsets. To ensure you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery even when inside, consider the following window treatment ideas, ranging from budget-friendly to more elaborate options:
- Optimize side-by-side windows: For windows that are side by side, paint the trim white and avoid hanging window treatments for an unobstructed view. This clean and simple design ensures nothing detracts from the outdoor scenery.
- Use solar shades: Shades are a cost-effective solution for reducing glare and UV rays while still enjoying the view. Solar shades are easy to clean and come in a variety of colors and opacity levels allowing you to choose the right balance of light and privacy.
- Use shutter windows: Consider shutter windows that wrap around the room to allow for more light and air inside. In addition to adding a little coastal charm, shutter windows allow you to control airflow and privacy.
- Choose retractable glass doors: Retractable glass doors that lead to your deck or terrace are great for beach homes. They open completely, creating a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. They’re perfect for entertaining or just enjoying the ocean breeze.
- Install fixed windows above sliding glass doors: If you have a bigger budget to use and high ceilings, having fixed windows above your sliding glass doors allows more natural light to flood the space.
- Create a spa-like bathroom experience: Place your bathtub next to a floor-to-ceiling window. This way you can relax while enjoying your beautiful view. Combine luxury with practicality by installing shades on the window for privacy.
By incorporating some of these tips, you can take full advantage of your beach home’s beautiful surroundings and breathtaking views, creating a tranquil living environment.
Additional Tips for Enhancing Your Beach Home’s Views
If your beach home is in need of updated windows, here are a few pointers to help you find the best ones:
- Maximize natural light: Picture and casement windows are perfect for beachfront properties. They allow plenty of natural light and provide an unobstructed view of the outdoors. At Mr. Rogers Windows, our proprietary FIBREX® material allows our window frames to be narrower, giving you much more light in your home.
- Use durable materials: Made from a blend of wood fibers and polymers, our FIBREX® material is twice as strong as vinyl. Our windows are ideal for coastal homes since they can withstand the salty air and high humidity.
- Opt for energy efficiency: Reduce your energy costs and keep your home comfortable year-round. As a proud provider of Renewal by Andersen® windows, our windows feature Low-E coating, dual panes of glass, argon gas fill, and heat deflection capabilities – all designed with efficiency in mind.
- Consider custom designs: Have your new windows match your home’s aesthetic – or go for a new look altogether! At Mr. Rogers Windows, you’ll work with our designers to create the perfect windows for your home.
Whether you’re looking to make small, budget-friendly updates or are considering a renovation, thoughtful window design can make a significant impact on your home.
