Design Trends: Floor to Ceiling Windows

In honor of Valentine’s Day this Saturday, we’re highlighting a design trend that’s a little more romantic than most: floor to ceiling windows. Not only do floor to ceiling windows highlight a spectacular view, they let tons of light and sunshine into your home. Not lucky enough to have a home with a breathtaking view of the ocean or other scenic skyline? Floor to ceiling windows can still be just as dramatic when peaking out into your backyard or courtyard. Don’t have a home with high or vaulted ceilings? Take advantage of as much wall space as you have. And don’t stop at the living room. Your floor to ceiling windows might be better places in a kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, office, or even a hallway. Take a look at some our favorite floor to ceiling window inspiration below.
