Installing patio doors can give your Cincinnati home a much-needed boost in terms of visual appeal. On a more practical note, patio doors can provide a seamless transition from your indoor space to your outdoor oasis. As such, patio door installation is a project that has to be planned out properly to achieve optimal results for both aesthetic and functional aspects. Having said that, one of the most important things to consider is the patio door placement.
In today’s post, window installation and patio door company Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati discusses three things to consider when choosing patio door placement.
Furniture
Apart from the type of furniture you have in your home and whether it matches or clashes with your patio door design, the way your furniture has been arranged has an impact on your patio door installation. For starters, you can arrange your couch, coffee table, and other furniture in such a way that it wouldn’t block your patio doors. This basic design hack prevents underutilized living space and provides an easy entrance and exit.
You can also install patio doors alongside casement windows for a better view. Curtains are a good option for when the sunlight gets a bit too much, especially in the middle of the day.
Feng Shui
If you are one of the homeowners who subscribe to feng shui principles, then installing patio doors should be done according to a feng shui floor plan. Take care not to have too many doors and windows aligned in a row as this can lead to weak energy in your home. Of course, there are workarounds should you want rows of patio doors and windows for dramatic effect. For this, feel free to consult your feng shui expert.
Floor Plan
Homes have a floor plan or blueprint that you either have to work with or modify. That being said, it’s important to take the floor plan into consideration when it comes to patio door installation. This includes installing your patio doors at the perfect position in relation to the actual patio. After all, what’s a patio door without a patio?
