    When it comes to windows, each room in your home has its own specific needs. Here are the basics to get started finding the best windows for each room.

    What to Look for When Shopping for Windows

    When searching for the best windows for your room, whether you need brand new windows or a window replacement, it's often best to have at least one operable window in each room. Most state or local building codes regulate the minimum amount of ventilation needed in a room. Usually, these codes require that around 5% of a "living area" such as a bedroom or living room be devoted to ventilation.

    For rooms that receive more sunlight, consider buying windows with a type of special glass, such as low-E coatings, or smart glass. For more information on the different kinds of styles and materials for windows, check out HomeAdvancement's guides to the different kinds of window styles, window frames, and window glass.

    For every single room in your home, the best windows have airtight seals and insulated glass that will keep your home snug in the winter and cool in the summer.

    Best Windows for Bedrooms

    When shopping for bedroom windows, it's important to consider about your needs and tastes. Do you want a shadier, darker bedroom? Or, do you prefer a bedroom full of light? A luxurious (and romantic!) addition, skylights are often some of the best windows for a bedroom.

    The right window treatments are also crucial for your home's bedrooms, as this will affect your levels of privacy and quality of sleep.

    Best Windows for Living Rooms

    Windows in your living room have the potential to act as the room's centerpiece. Consider a gorgeous bay window, which can add plenty of ventilation and light, and increase your home's curb appeal.

    Best Windows for Kitchens

    The best kitchen windows are operable, so that you can let in some fresh air when you accidentally set off the smoke detector. Often, casement windows are good choices for kitchens, because they open easily and quickly with a hand crank. Or, try the classic garden window, which will provide you with a light-filled space to store kitchen herbs and other plants.

    Best Windows for Bathrooms

    Installing a window in your bathroom is an excellent way to provide ventilation, which can help prevent the growth of mold. Consequently, the best windows for a bathroom are always operable, such as single hung, double hung, or sliding windows. You may also want to choose a bathroom window with frosted glass to give you more privacy.

    Best Windows for Entryways

    Entryway windows, such as sidelights and a transom to accompany your front door, can make you and your visitors feel instantly at ease. Try entryway windows with frosted or patterned glass for elegance and privacy.
