Windows are an integral feature of the architectural design of a home. They can range from the simplest rectangular to more ornate multi-paned arches. The design and composition of a window is of key importance to the ambiance of the home. A colonial home would be best suited to wooden sash windows for modern interior design and style. These many paned windows are a central feature of this majestic architectural design.
America and other colonial areas are the places of origin of these frames from where the style was adopted by others. Ideally, softwood is used as the sashes and glass forms a major portion that add to the elegance. Distinct charm and character is added to the historical houses by their window frames.

There is a lot of maintenance to be done on the wood for it to last longer. Repairing or replacing these can be costly, but most people think it is worth the money. Period houses are perfect for hanging wooden frames because it fits and makes it beautiful. They also can add a lot of value to the home.

The transparent panes are available with an aluminum frame which is quite fashionable. The most popular glass panel is the 6 by 6 form.
Once these sashes are fitted, you can develop them into any style you like, whatever look you want to give them. The most modern appearance or the old world rough charm, anything can be achieved. Heavy drapes, simple curtains, bamboo curtains and any kind of blinds can be put to use.
Centuries of refinement and modification have been involved to keep abreast with modern tastes and techniques. Wooden sash windows for modern interior design and style are unique. The interior decorator finds it difficult to cope with the change, though.

Sash windows are a popular type of window in the UK. A sash window is a sliding window that opens vertically. The idea of the sash window came into being in the late 1600's and is attributed to Robert Hooke, an English inventor of that time. Many Victorian and Georgian houses have sash windows, usually in the classical style that is two frames, each with 6 panes of glass. Sash windows can be opened a crack and will not fall back to their original position and this ease of opening continues to make them an extremely popular type of window. Although originally all types of wood window were made with a timber frame this is now changing as other innovative materials come to the market.

Licensed interior designers generally own their own businesses or work under the umbrella of design firms. They plan, design and contract the work involved in creating the interiors of residential homes, or they may specialize and work in specific industries such as hospitality design, office design or other forms of commercial or industrial design.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that they can add value in monetry terms to the house, but in sales appeal i think it is huge. Wooden windows add a sense of sophistication to the house!
