Giving shape to your home’s exterior with geometric replacement windows is lots of fun. Finding the perfect location is your first step. Many homeowners choose to put an accent window just below the apex of the roof. It can be an actual window looking into an attic loft, or a faux one that is merely decorative. Round “porthole”, half circle, and octagonal styles are popular for this type of application. They draw the eye up to the tallest point of your home making it look more imposing.

You can also flank standard, rectangular windows with smaller right angle triangle or trapezoid shaped accent panes. These angular shapes add interest to your home exterior. Use your imagination – these can be placed in almost any area. Geometric windows are usually non-opening, so don’t rely solely on this style if you want to have the option of letting in fresh air.

Larger windows such as bay or bow styles offer you the ability to take geometry 3 dimensional. Use at least three sections or as many as eight to create a radius that gives you an expanded view into your back or front yards. For a ray of bright color, consider adding geometric windows with panes of colored glass in your kitchen or bathroom. Install these decorative stained glass accents in walls with a southern exposure for maximum effect.
