Farmhouse windows are composed of various types from bay windows, to prairie windows, to picture windows and so many more. The window coverings you choose to utilize in your home are going to depend greatly on the location of the window, and the amount of privacy you are looking for. In this collection, you’ll find varying degrees of light exposure depending on where the window is located and if it has any special intricacies built in.
In addition to the drapes and blinds you’ll see attached to the windows, trim has a significant effect on the appearance of the window and surrounding area. The function of sliding, raised, and pop-out design is also important to consider depending on whether or not the window will be opened or closed. Dive into the farmhouse window designs within this collection and find what speaks to you in your effort to brighten your interior.

Shiplap on a wall with windows may be a little complex, but it creates the coziest aura in a room. The windows featured in this room hang behind a long desk, with wooden décor placed above.

A great way to combine modern design elements with classic ones is by painting the dividers between window panes black, as shown here.

A window like this one is a special feature in an older home. The cushy window seat with brown and white pillows is extremely inviting. The window itself is referred to as a prairie-style window with diagonal grilles. The molding around the window is in a deep brown original to the home, and if you’re lucky enough to find a home with color, appreciated how antiquated and gorgeous it truly is.

We will always love a farmhouse-style bed in front of a window. The room is cozy and complete with classic wall paneling and chair rail.

11 of Corner Window Curtains

In a living room with multiple large windows, curtain placement can be tricky. In this luscious living space, curtains on white rods gather in the corners while open, which adds a unique texture to the walls. The designer of this room opted for an off-white curtain to match the sofa.
12 of Small Farmhouse Windows With Lights

In an antique home, sometimes it is necessary to place the bed up against a wall to maximize the floor space in the room. When the wall includes a window or two, hang curtains that match the comforter, quilt, or duvet on the bed. For extra sparkly vibes, hanging bulb lights over the windows creates a twinkling night scene that is sure to tickle your fancy.

16 of Bright Bay Windows

Bay windows are a staple in many old homes. Cozied up behind lounge chairs and lamps, they create the best seating areas because of the natural light that flows through them on all sides. Curtains or no curtains, their appearance will always be a sophisticated one.
17 of Arched Farmhouse Windows

These immaculate arched farmhouse windows have a medium brown trim that goes all the way around the window. White blinds are attached just under the arch that, when closed, extends to the bottom of the window, exposing the angled panes at the top. These types of windows are great for open living rooms exposing fabulous views.
18 of Black Paned Pop Out Kitchen Windows
PHOTO:
With views like this outside of a kitchen window, pop-out windows are a necessity. They are framed in white molding with subway tiles, but the panes and window frame are black, which is a bold contrast against the white cabinetry. For a little sparkle, brushed gold fixtures and hardware are pristine against the white and black theme.
19 of Sliding Door With Low-hanging Drapes

For an added layer of texture, consider adding shutters to your bow window in place of blinds or curtains. They look great in a large open space, like the photograph shown here. In a bay window that is this wide, utilize the rounded walls for corner seating, a round area rug, and curved sofas to create the appearance of a separate sitting area.

Window seats are as pretty as they are functional. The exposed windows in this nook provide plenty of light to the dining area, and two metal lamp sconces were added for nighttime viewing. Printed pillows sit stacked in the corners on a tan cushion for added comfort.
