Finding the Right Windows for You

There may be no greater design piece in a home than antique, new or vintage windows, each a portal through which light enters a space. Natural light is the ultimate accessory to any room, especially when it enhances your other items, bouncing off their surfaces.

From stained glass in churches to industrial and warehouse styles, windows have always presented a grand opportunity to transform a space. And they have changed over the years. Antique arts and crafts windows are layered with an array of complex colors that manipulate the light that flows through them. These windows provide an eclectic yet classic aesthetic with abstract patterns, mosaic tints and arched panels.

The craftsmanship of wooden panel windows has an air of the traditional style of the East. Rustic oak shutters and Persian carved panels present an intricate technique and artistry appreciated by sight and touch.

Industrial-style windows of the 1920s to the ’50s typically paired geometric patterns with metal frames. This window style emerged in home decor as a result of the residential repurposing of former manufacturing and warehouse districts.

By the 21st century, windows were less ornate in their designs, touting a more uniform panel layout. Still, you can find modernist windows that add a touch of artful vigor with eye-catching colors and designs you don’t see every day.

Browse 1stDibs for antique, new and vintage windows that will make a beautiful and unique addition to any home.
