Draw inspiration from the latest art trends, understand the cutting-edge information in fashion, and gather consumers’ style preferences. For example, by integrating the essence of all art designs through the latest art frontiers, the styles designed and presented will be in line with the design of doors and windows.
I. Appearance Design
Lines and Shapes
Simple and Modern Style:
Modern people prefer the simple and modern style. Simple and elegant lines can better show the taste of home life and enhance the elegant living atmosphere at home. As the times are developing and progressing, and people’s aesthetic tastes are getting higher and higher, people are becoming more and more particular about decoration and are paying more attention to the pursuit of art and the quality of life.
Modern design closely follows the fashion trend. People like to follow the trend. So, styles like the 大气简约的风格 (grand and simple style), the classical style, and the Mediterranean style are all popular. However, these styles all uniformly show simple lines. Spacious glass windows are very appealing. Large floor-to-ceiling windows offer high transparency. When you open the curtains in the morning, you can see the beautiful scenery outside, and the sunlight shines through the windows, giving you a refreshing feeling as if you were bathed in a gentle breeze. Moreover, the brightness and vitality of the morning sun give you a sense of upward life, making you energetic throughout the day and enabling you to live each day in a lively state.
Retro Style:
The retro style is also very popular among contemporary young people because it represents the pursuit and nostalgia for a certain era. Modern design uses a large number of retro patterns and decorations to show the retro era. The retro style is a favorite among contemporary young people because it gives people a sense of calmness, quietness, and strength, allowing people’s inner feelings to achieve a better balance and improving the quality of life.
Color Matching
Natural Color Series:
Contemporary decoration design prefers simple and elegant color series. For example, using off-white color series to adorn the indoor environment. Nowadays, people love nature more, so they prefer such natural color series, which gives people a feeling of living in nature, making life more comfortable and carefree.
Some consumers also like the natural colors of wood, which gives a light and comfortable texture, making people feel as if they are in nature. The natural color series gives a feeling of comfort, breathability, and being alive. For example, some people like the Morandi color series very much. It feels beautiful, relaxed, and comfortable, and it’s very suitable for home decoration. For example, the window frames can be made in the color of wood to match the indoor decoration, and using the same color series can create a high-end look.
Individual Color:
Besides the natural color series, some bold individual colors are also applied to the design of doors and windows. For example, colors with high saturation like blue and green. These colors can be used as embellishments for buildings to highlight individuality. In the door and window design of some creative buildings or art studios, bright yellow window frames will be used, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment and attracting people’s attention.
Everyone’s aesthetic needs are different, so the design of different windows is also different. Modern people need different designs to show their individuality. For example, they can show their personalized aesthetics through home design and show what makes them different from others.
Material Selection and Texture Performance
Metal Materials:
Metal materials are commonly used materials. Aluminum alloy is often used to make window frames. The advantage of this aluminum alloy is that it has strong bending resistance and wind resistance. If the area where you are going to decorate is by the sea and you are decorating, then you can install metal windows. Even if there is a strong wind blowing by the sea, you don’t have to worry that the wind will bend the metal doors and windows.
The colors of the metal material shells are diverse, and you can choose the colors you like according to the current home decoration style. For example, common colors used include gold, silver, white, gray, etc. These are common color combinations, and these color combinations have relatively high compatibility.
Stainless steel doors and windows look more high-end and sturdy. Their surfaces can be treated by wire drawing to form a fine texture, having a good visual effect and touch. In the design of the entrance doors of some commercial buildings or high-end residences, stainless steel doors will give people a sense of security and luxury. This luxurious texture can enhance the value of the house.
Glass Materials:
Ordinary transparent glass is used for doors and windows and can provide good lighting and views. To increase privacy, frosted glass or coated glass can be used. Frosted glass softens the light and is suitable for the doors and windows of bathrooms, bedrooms and other spaces. Coated glass can reflect part of the light, playing a role in heat insulation and ultraviolet protection, and it can also protect indoor privacy when viewed from the outside.
In recent years, energy-saving glasses such as insulating glass and vacuum glass have also been widely used. Insulating glass has a layer of dry air sandwiched between two pieces of glass, which can effectively reduce heat conduction. Vacuum glass has the air between the two pieces of glass removed to form a vacuum state, having better heat insulation and sound insulation effects. In the cold northern regions or in buildings with high requirements for the indoor environment, doors and windows made of these energy-saving glasses can significantly improve the indoor comfort.
II. Functional Design
Optimization of Lighting and Views
Regarding lighting, the windows of the house should face the side where the sun shines as much as possible. The advantage of doing this is that it can make the lighting sufficient, making the whole indoor space full of bright light and helping homeowners save energy.
Ventilation Design
Reasonably designing the opening methods of doors and windows can effectively improve indoor ventilation. Common opening methods include side-hung, sliding, top-hung, and bottom-hung. Side-hung doors and windows have good ventilation effects and good sealing performance. Sliding doors and windows save space and are suitable for places with limited space. For example, in the design of kitchen windows, sliding windows are a more appropriate choice, which is convenient for quickly ventilating during the cooking process.
Combined door and window designs can be adopted to enhance the ventilation effect. For example, a small side-hung window can be designed beside a large floor-to-ceiling window. While ensuring lighting, better air convection can be achieved through the opening of the side-hung window.
