Atlanta Home Style Trends
Below are several of the leading home style trends in Atlanta homes and why Marvin windows are a great fit.
More private spaces
Throughout Atlanta, open-concept spaces are giving way to rooms with more privacy, as families spend more time at home. There is a greater demand for private work spaces, learning areas, play rooms and living space. As a result, walls with doors and windows are reappearing where they were previously knocked down. These private spaces may require custom-shaped windows.
- Fit perfectly in a small or challenging space like a pantry.
- Add character and personality.
- Many different materials, styles, shapes and hardware to choose from.
- Specially handcrafted with your exact project in mind.
Outdoor living spaces
Having an outdoor living area is a must during the mild Atlanta winters. Creating a living space outside results in an entirely new room without adding an extension. Floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding doors and picture windows bring more light into the home and create a sense of indoor-outdoor living. A picture window can act as a picture frame to the outdoor living space, making you feel like you’re outside when you’re in and vice versa.
Marvin picture windows:
- Can be designed in any shape or size.
- Multiple picture windows can be installed in the same wall and can extend width and height-wise as far as structural limitations will allow.
Updating historical architecture with new windows
Some of Atlanta’s beautiful historical districts date back to the Civil War. A relatively easy and impactful update you can make to an older home is updating the windows. New casement or double hung windows can make a significant visual impact and save energy.
Marvin casement windows
- Are hinged on either side to open like a door (with the option to crank out or push out).
- Are available in various shapes and styles.
- Have multi-point locking system to securely lock the window at multiple points.
- Have adequate ventilation for healthy airflow.
- Minimize heat loss for excellent energy efficiency.
- Have hardware options in various styles and colors to complement your décor.
- Come in different interior and exterior colors to match your style.
- Have window opening control devices to limit how much the window can open safely.
- Offer tilt in cleaning.
Embracing your home
Atlanta home inventory has been low, and prices have been rising. Limited stock can mean updating existing homes instead of moving. Making some exterior changes can help a house feel rejuvenated and new. For an exterior refresh, replacing the windows is an excellent first step. A bay or bow window will offer an extra layer of character, a custom look and the perception of more living space.
Marvin bow windows

- Create more interior space.
- Give your home a more custom look.
- Offer panoramic views to enjoy your yard and surroundings.
