Top Window Trends for 2022
The new year is an opportunity to make positive changes, and this includes home improvement. Window replacement is a great way to revitalize your home in 2022. New windows look great and can also improve your home's energy efficiency. If you're considering replacing your windows this year, it's helpful to know the top window trends in 2022.
These include:
Abundant Natural Light
Natural light improves the way your home looks and can even boost your mood. Allowing in as much natural light as possible has been a big interior design focus in recent years, and this is likely to continue in 2022.
One way to let in as much light as possible is to have very large windows. The window size that works best for your needs will depend on your home and the specific room you are installing the windows in. For example, floor-to-ceiling picture windows often look great in living rooms with a great view of the outdoors, whereas they wouldn't make as much sense facing a fence.
The type of window also affects the amount of natural light. Bay and bow windows, for example, allow light to come in at multiple angles, as do garden windows.
Dark Window Frames
Contrast is a major theme in modern design. One way to introduce contrast to your home is to use dark window frames. Dark colors help the windows stand out from the exterior or interior and are expected to be a trend in 2022 and beyond. This style is likely to work best if your home has a more modern aesthetic.
Window Gardens
During the coronavirus pandemic, houseplant ownership has increased significantly. This could translate into homeowners choosing windows that allow them to grow indoor plants more easily. Garden windows are the most obvious choice for this since they have a built-in shelf with lots of natural light. These windows look great above a kitchen sink.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency has continued to grow in recent years due to increased interest in helping the environment, not to mention the savings on electricity costs. Energy-efficient window features are likely to continue to be popular in 2022.
Some of these include:
Double Panes
Windows with two panes offer more insulation than single-pane windows. Double-pane windows can be over 50% more effective at preventing heat loss and gain compared to the single-pane variety.
Low-E Windows
Low-emissivity (low-E) windows allow less infrared and ultraviolet (UV) light into your home without affecting the amount of visible light. This retains heat in the house during cooler months while preventing heat gain during the summer.
Argon Insulation
Argon is denser than air and is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. Windows that have this gas between their panes offer superior insulation.
