Window style combinations: Best pairings for curb appeal & natural light

A bay window combination includes three windows assembled together. Infinity Bay Windows can include casement windows or double hung windows. Each type of bay window has its advantages. Casement bay windows have uninterrupted views, as they lack a check rail in the middle. Double hung bay windows include a check rail but both sashes can slide open for the most ventilation.

Arch windows pair well with double hung windows to add a little flair to a room. The gentle curve of the arch softens the straight lines of double hung windows. You can add an arch window above a set of two or three double hung windows to create scenic viewing areas. The expansive space also soaks a room in beautiful sunlight. They fit well in rooms with high ceilings to add appeal. You can add window grids to match your home’s existing character. They can also enhance your home’s décor.

A casement picture window combination has a middle picture window and two flanking casement windows. It offers the best of both worlds with extended views and operating windows to capture fresh air. You can create the perfect look with custom-sized casement and picture windows.

Double hung windows work perfect as window combinations. They have design flexibility and often get paired together. Adding a picture window between flanking double hung windows creates panoramic views. It also invites cool air into your home. Form sweeping scenes and increase sunlight by adding arch or special shape windows above them.

Awning windows pair well with several windows to extend views and bring ventilation to homes. Awning windows fit below picture windows to make them perfect as large windows for living rooms. You can leave awning windows open during light rains to bring refreshing scents into a room. Having awning windows open during a light rain can also cool a room.

Casement and awning windows often get included in window combinations. Casement windows pair with a center picture window for wide uninterrupted views. Awning windows have the flexibility to appear above or below picture windows. An awning window combination blends in well with contemporary style homes.  

Homes can have window and patio door combinations to expand viewing spaces. The combination of windows and patio doors can lead to a flood of natural light in spots, too. You can often see windows next to patio doors. It’s a common living room window idea that makes a bigger impact with your indoor-outdoor living. Windows that flank a sliding patio door add views without having to add more panels to a patio door. Sidelite windows can sit on either side of a French door. They can come with matching grids to maintain a traditional look. Transom windows often appear above patio doors, too.

You can mix and match types of windows to coordinate window styles. For instance, homes often have a combination of double hung and casement windows. Crank windows, like casement and awning windows, work well in spaces where it’s difficult to reach to open a window. Casement and awning windows often get used as kitchen windows, especially over sinks. In other rooms you can choose casement windows for clear views. In a home office or a den, you might want double hung windows for fresh air.
