Creative window design ideas can make one of the most important features of a house stand out. Without windows, houses would just be lifeless little boxes, depressing, and uninspiring. Windows are our connection to the outside world. Windows let natural light in, and help regulate our circadian rhythms. Windows let fresh air in and ventilate our homes. Let's start thinking out of the box when it comes to windows, and consider some creative window design ideas for a change. 

There are various ways in which one can decorate or dress up windows. Some traditional window design ideas use stained glass, while some modern window design ideas include using window stickers. What's more fun than window shopping for windows anyway?

Modern Window Design

This modern window design utilises window stickers. Window stickers are an easy and inexpensive way to add a creative touch to your windows. This particular window sticker features the map of the world in black. Imagine looking out of this window and planning your next adventure with this world map for inspiration.

Creative Window Blinds

This intricately designed window blind made by Korean interior architects will block out unsightly views, yet allow plenty of natural light to fill the room, creating interesting shadow effects. It gives your home a fresh perspective. Imagine if you have a big window facing a dusty construction site, this window would do wonders to block that out of your view and instead create an unusual effect. 

Romantic Window Design for the Bathroom

Adding romance to the bathroom is easily done with this rose stained glass. Imagine taking a bath and being warmed by the light that shines through the red and white roses. Stained glass is perfect for bathroom windows as you want natural light shining in, but don't want to be exposed to the outside world. Curtains somehow just don't seem to belong in a bathroom, and it's nicer to splash around and not have to worry that you might be getting the curtains wet. 

The Russian glass manufacturers who created this beautiful window also have other stunning modern glass designs for doors, walls, and ceilings. 

Contemporary Kitchen Window

This contemporary kitchen window is a great way to distract people from noticing all the clutter in the kitchen! Imagine, they'll all be magically drawn towards the light shining through this cute window like insects attracted to the light!

If you need to add something creative or lively to your kitchen, this might be the solution you've been looking for. 

The Japanese artists who designed this piece also design other unique looking lamps made out of stained glass. Maybe this could be a new look for your kitchen—the window and lamps that match. It's not a massive makeover, but enough for people to do a double take.

With window decorations, less is sometimes more, especially if the windows frame up a nice view, then you certainly wouldn't want to block the view and clutter the windows with elaborate window decorations. Creative window designs don't have to be extravagant, simple window decorations can dress up windows really nicely as well.

Traditional Window Design

This traditional window design uses stained glass. Mixing the old with the new is part of eclectic designs, and this window could be an element of the old and traditional.

The elaborate designs on the glass is reminiscent of times gone by, and creates a rustic, cosy atmosphere. At times, too much light glaring through a window can make reading or looking at a screen difficult. This stained glass window tones down the light a little, making it less intensive, yet more dramatic through its patterns.

The great thing about using stained glass is also that it's practical—it's low maintenance compared to dressing up windows with curtains. Curtains collect dust, and need to be washed every now and then, these windows just need to be wiped clean at the most.
