The first few months of the year are the perfect time to start planning for your spring home improvement projects. New windows are an investment for your home that can do wonders for your energy efficiency and for your curb appeal. However, you may not know what type of windows will suit your home and your personal style, while still maintaining resale value of your home.

As we look to the 2021 spring installation schedule, we are also checking out the latest trends in windows for homes of all sizes, and styles of all preferences. Start your design choice here, by browsing a few of the latest window designs and trends. You can get a good sense of what you like, and what you don’t.

Now, those windows are already failing, leaving home builders and home owners searching for windows that are built to last and go the distance. In our four season climate, it is especially important for windows to be able to effectively handle all that Chicagoland weather can throw at them.

Consider looking for oversized windows or more than one panel on your wall to create this trending effect. Skylights and sunrooms are another way to bring the outdoor feeling to the inside of your home.
