Dressing up the perfect window for your basement will not only allow enough light to come in and enhance ventilation, but will also add beauty and elegance to the room. Many homeowners are currently investing in high-quality windows as they help illuminate the room and bring focus towards the overall design of the basement.
If you are planning to replace or renovate your basement windows, take note of these excellent ideas beforehand.
Include a small window on top of your fireplace to enhance lighting. This will also place more emphasis on the area while allowing more natural light to come into the room. To further add beauty to your fireplace, enhance your window with natural adornments such as flowers in full bloom in an elegant vase or crawling plants outlining the top side of your fireplace.
High wall windows offer more privacy in your basement. A lower level bedroom will be a great place to hideaway with high level wall windows. This will allow natural light to softly illuminate the room and in a dimmer lighting, give the room a cozier ambiance. Moreover, it will enable hot air to escape easily therefore maintaining the coolness of the underground room.
Install window treatments. Even basement windows need treatments. To maintain the beauty of your glass window, choose a more subtle window treatment and a style that blends well with the overall design of your window. Window treatments will not only protect your window but it will also filter the light coming into the room.
Never forget your basement door. Many homeowners ensure that their basement has easy access to provide an alternative route when emergency situations arise. A basement door does not need not look like it is the only a way out. Make your basement door a beautiful addition to the room by transforming it into an elegant glass window for added ventilation and lighting. Install your basement window on top of your living area and make sure it is big enough to fit a person upon exiting.
Include a window in your stairway. This will not only look unique and elegant in your stairway, but it will also add lighting along the path. The full wall and elevation will allow you to create a bigger window for enhanced lighting.
