BEST WINDOWS FOR FARMHOUSE STYLE

Replacing your windows? Here are the three best kinds for a farmhouse.

SINGLE- AND DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOWS

Single- and double-hung windows look similar but have different mechanics. Both open upward, but double-hung windows have two movable sashes, or panels, compared to single-hung windows, which only have one movable part. Double-hung windows are more expensive than single-hung but are also easier to clean and provide better ventilation when you want a breeze from outside.

CASEMENT WINDOWS

Casement windows open outward rather than upward. They don’t have the same paneled look as single- or double-hung windows, but instead they have a more contemporary look, perfect for the modern farmhouse.

COLORED CASEMENT

Another great option, especially for the modern farmhouse look, is to choose contrasting colors for the window frame. You can do this with any type of window, and it will help create unique character from both inside and outdoors.
