How to Choose the Right Windows and Doors to Tie in Your Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

Having the correct transition between the inside of your Roanoke home and your patio or sunroom can be difficult to achieve. These transitions are essential because they allow folks to see in and out of your home and plays a large role in making the whole design look unified. When renovating or investing in replacement doors, there are a variety of ways to be sure you are cohesively including all of the pieces together, whether in or outside of your door.

Outdoor patios and living spaces are used practically as much as kitchens or living rooms are in the Roanoke area, assuming they are designed in a functional manner. Large glass windows and doors can be good for homeowners that spend a lot of time in their indoor and outdoor spaces. Here are a few tips from the profs at Pella Windows and Doors to help you ease your home’s transition from the outside to the inside. 

• It is important to keep the entry and exit clear where your indoor and outdoor spaces join. A clear walkway can open up both indoor and outdoor spaces, making the transition between the two spaces flow. Having the correct door can also help let in natural light and make a seemless transition.
  
  
• Add a little fun to your rooms by getting a large window and transition pieces, like a bar at the base of your window opening. Having a bold piece means you are able to entertain more people and can lengthen that space when you have larger groups of people over to your Roanoke place.
