Wooden Window With Shutter Designs

Old-world charm compressed within each slat — the wooden window with shutter design finds resonance in every era, even a modern one. Usually, they are found in pairs or what is known as a bifold window design. Colour them in show-stopping colours, or go classic with neutral cream, beige or brown.

Wooden Window Design Without Glass

No kidding. Some people prefer their view unobstructed; even a glass pane is too much of a distraction. Who are we to say no? Open your wooden window design without glass. Or anything else. Most homeowners prefer sliding windows for this kind but you could opt for the regular style too.

Wooden Window Design With Glass

There is something to be said about wooden window design with glass panes. Do you like to open your windows, or do you prefer to use the glass-panelled wooden windows as a wall? If it is the second option, you could make the windows large, really large, and enjoy an expansive view beyond your home.

Wooden Window Design For Indian Homes

Wooden window designs for Indian homes typically have a wire mesh or a grill. Sometimes, there are two windows, one with glass panes that open to the outside and another with the said mesh, to keep out mosquitoes and insects, which are such a typical part of tropical evenings, which open to the inside. Depending on the weather, either of these can be used for increased functionality.

Wooden Ventilator Window Design

A few decades ago, high ceilings were a quintessential part of Indian homes. This design needed ventilators to let in ample air and light. In modern homes, wooden ventilator window designs have been restricted to washrooms only. Here they are necessary without a doubt.
