Old houses have gone through years of baptism, and doors and windows often have problems such as deformation, fading, and poor sealing, which not only affects the user experience, but also lowers the overall appearance of the home. In the renovation of old houses, the renewal of doors and windows seems to be a small project, but it is actually a key step to make the home look good. ​

Why is the renewal of doors and windows the "savior" of the appearance of old house renovation?

After years of use, the doors and windows of old houses may have blurred glass, cracked window frames, and rusted hardware. These defects will make the whole house look old and dilapidated. Renewing doors and windows is like putting on "new clothes" for the home.

New doors and windows can not only solve performance problems such as sealing and sound insulation, but their novel styles and fashionable colors can also instantly improve the texture of the space. For example, replacing old iron windows with broken bridge aluminum casement windows, with simple and smooth lines and clean appearance, can make the home style more modern and greatly improve the overall appearance.

In addition, doors and windows are important visual elements of the home, and they complement the walls and furniture. Renewing doors and windows can make the space style more unified and coordinated, and play a finishing touch. ​

Style adaptation to create a unique home aesthetics​

(I) Modern minimalist style​

Pursue a simple and neat modern minimalist style, and choose minimalist design in the selection of doors and windows. The lines of the window frame should be straight and smooth, and avoid complex decoration. The color can be classic black, white or silver gray, with a large area of ​​transparent glass to make the space appear transparent and atmospheric. For example, the living room is equipped with a sliding door with a narrow frame to reduce visual barriers and enhance the sense of open space; the bedroom uses a casement window with hidden hinges, which reflects the beauty of simplicity in the details and makes the whole home full of fashion. ​​

(II) European style​

The European style pursues gorgeousness and atmosphere. Doors and windows can be selected with Roman columns, carvings and other decorations. The window frame color is mainly warm colors such as gold and beige, with arc or arch design, showing the romance and elegance of European architecture.

For example, a double-opening copper door is installed at the entrance of the villa, with exquisite patterns carved on the surface and retro copper handles, which instantly enhances the luxury of the home; the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room adopt an arc design and are matched with white European curtains, making the space full of aristocratic atmosphere. ​

Functional upgrade, beauty and practicality coexist​

(I) Improve lighting effect​

Old houses may have insufficient lighting problems. When renewing doors and windows, the glass area can be increased. For example, small windows can be transformed into floor-to-ceiling windows, or frameless balcony windows can be used to reduce the light blocking by window frames and allow more natural light to enter the room.

Bright light can make the space appear more spacious and warm, while also highlighting the beauty of furniture and decorations, and improving the overall appearance of the home. ​

(II) Enhance sound insulation performance​

Old doors and windows have poor sealing performance, and noise is easily transmitted into the room. Replacing them with doors and windows with good sound insulation performance, such as doors and windows with three-layer hollow glass and high-quality sealing strips, can effectively block external noise.

A quiet living environment not only improves the quality of life, but also makes the home atmosphere more comfortable and cozy. At the same time, the modern design of soundproof doors and windows also adds a sense of fashion to the home. ​

(III) Optimize safety performance​

The anti-theft function of doors and windows in old houses may be outdated. When renovating, you can choose doors and windows equipped with anti-theft locks and anti-pry devices, such as inward-opening and inward-tilting windows, which have both ventilation and anti-theft functions. The improvement of safety performance not only makes living more secure, but also makes the appearance of doors and windows more technological and safe, adding points to the appearance of the home. ​

IV. Matching details to make the appearance more outstanding​

After the doors and windows are renewed, you also need to pay attention to the matching with the surrounding environment. For example, choosing curtains and window decorations that match the style of doors and windows can have a icing on the cake effect.

Modern and simple style doors and windows are matched with plain and simple blinds; Chinese style is matched with fabric curtains with embroidery or traditional patterns. In addition, the wall decoration around the doors and windows should not be ignored. You can make the transition between the doors and windows and the wall natural by painting the paint that coordinates with the color of the doors and windows, or installing decorative lines, so as to further enhance the overall appearance of the home.​

In the renovation of old houses, renewing doors and windows is an effective way to improve the appearance of the home. Through style adaptation, function upgrades and detail matching, doors and windows can become the highlights of the renovation of old houses, bringing a new visual experience and improving the quality of life to the home.
