Transitional Living: The Leading Home Improvement Trend

One of the top design trends dominating the home improvement scene is transitional living. As its name suggests, this trend aims to install a transitional effect between your living spaces and your outdoors. This essentially blurs the line between your indoor and outdoor spaces and connects them with one another seamlessly. The result is a home that’s trendy, aesthetically pleasing, and functional because it actually increases your living space.

So how do you enable the transitional living effect in your home? Using windows. BEE Window® discusses how you can do it below.

Transitional Windows

The goal of transitional design is to connect your interior spaces with your exteriors, so it’s no surprise that the windows of your rooms will play a large role. By replacing your smaller windows with larger ones, you’re letting more of the outdoors in and connecting your interior living spaces better. The ideal window type for transitional design is floor-to-ceiling windows. As the name suggests, these windows stretch all the way from the floor to the ceiling.

Our company recommends this window because it eliminates the border between your exterior and interior spaces and improves the transitional design of your rooms. We also recommend porch conversions—turning your porch into a year-round sun room. Apart from letting more of the outdoors in, you’re also letting more natural light in, which is a bonus.

Windowed Doors

Doors themselves are already transitional entryways, so how do you make it even more seamless and trendy?

How about turning your door into a window? It might sound silly, but it’s simply getting windowed doors such as patio and French doors. These let in ample amount of light and scenery from your home’s exterior space and improves the transitional atmosphere of your rooms. These doors are ideal when used in conjunction with our large replacement windows in your main living areas.

Lower Your Walls

The trend of walls and borders separating your rooms is obsolete, and in 2017, the current aesthetic trend is using low walls. Lowering the walls that separate your rooms greatly increases the transitional effect of your living spaces and makes the entire house feel more seamless in terms of atmosphere and design.

You can even go a step further and completely eschew the walls. This design trend is popular in modern homes, especially those that boast open living rooms and dining areas.

More Space, Less Waste

Minimalist design continues to influence transitional living and the trend itself has been a staple in home design for the past few years already. This year isn’t any different, so if you want to improve the transitional atmosphere of your rooms, less is more.

Do away with decorations that require much space and stick with the smaller things. You don’t need to fill in your bedroom or living rooms with so much furniture, for example. For your home’s exterior space, a simple siding replacement over more ornate sidings also improves the minimalist and transitional atmosphere of your home.
