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

Having the proper transition between the inside of your North Carolina home and your patio or sunroom can be difficult to accomplish. These transitions are important because they allow guests to see in and out of your home and plays a big role in making the whole design look unified. When renovating or investing in replacement doors, there are a variety of ways to make sure you are cohesively including all of the pieces together, whether in or outside of your door.

Outdoor patios and living spaces are used nearly as much as kitchens or living rooms are in the North Carolina area, assuming they are created 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 to help you ease your home’s transition from the outside to the inside. 

• It is essential to keep the entry and exit clear where your indoor and outdoor spaces meet. A clear walkway can open up both indoor and outdoor spaces, making the transition between the two spaces ease in to each other. Having the right door can also help let in natural light and make a smart transition.
  
  
• Add a little fun to your rooms by purchasing a large window and transition pieces, like a bar at the base of your window opening. Having a unique piece means you can entertain more people and can extend that space when you have larger groups of people over to your North Carolina house.
  
  
• When investing in a replacement door, use it to spur inspiration for your decorations. Making simple changes to your home’s décor to flow your new door can create a great transition for your new entryway.
  
  
• Keep the sense of a ceiling to your outdoor space through adding pieces like a pergola. These Renaissance-inspired pieces are perfect for blocking the sun, hanging lights, and simply helping you feel like you have a nicer outdoor spaces in North Carolina.
