3 Ways to Make the Most of the Large Windows in Your Home

Urban Presentations’ Senior Property Stylists Katie and Dorothy’s latest project.

We love large windows. Like a frame for your beautiful view, large windows don’t only showcase the beauty outside! Large windows are a great way to illuminate rooms with natural light, which is always flattering. Another reason we love large windows is how spacious and airy they can make a room feel. After years spent making the most of your homes, we’ve learned a thing or two about showcasing your large windows. Take a look below for more inspiration and to learn how you can make the most of them:

Limit distractions. Avoid cluttering your space or covering the windows with furniture whenever possible.

Make smart design decisions that give your floor-to-ceiling windows room to shine! If you want the atmosphere to feel warm and cozy, use warm colours such earthy tones such as beige, brown or red. You can also use wood as a main material.

Use neutrals for the interior and create a simple décor. Let your windows to do the work when it comes to spicing up your space!

Home Styling 101: Bringing Neutral Tones to Life

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we can’t get enough of the calm and relaxing feel that a neutral colour scheme delivers.

While we love the way neutral tones can create a relaxing environment, they can also be fun, energetic and full of life! A neutral colour scheme in any home is a blank canvas. All you need to do to bring some energy and life into it is switch it up! Here’s how:

Mix and match. To bring your neutral colour scheme to life, mix tones, take advantage of different materials and play with patterns.

Opposites really do attract! Create depth within your neutral colour scheme by mixing opposite textures. Try offsetting rough with soft, shiny with matte and coarse with smooth textures.

5 Reasons Why Neutral Colour Schemes Are Always a Good Choice

Urban Presentations’ Senior Property Stylist Caroline Roussy’s recent project working with neutrals.

  1. Neutrals are not only reliable for use in decorating, they also play a critical role in providing visual relief, backdrops, and an overall calming atmosphere.

  2. Neutral colours highlight architectural elements, unlike bold colours that draw the eye away.

  3. Neutral colours are classic. This is one of the most appealing aspects of a neutral colour scheme; it never goes out of style!

  4. When your home decor is built around neutral colours, trendy, vibrant colours and prints can be seamlessly incorporated. This way, your home can remain on-trend as your personal taste changes and evolves over the years.

  5. Neutral colours are appropriate and effective in any style of space. Whether you prefer modern or old-world style, traditional or eclectic, contemporary or farmhouse – neutrals are versatile and reliable.
