Windows are extremely important part of architecture and interior design as their style, look, size and placement defines the ambience, the feel and the look of every space of the house. Pivot and casement, French and modern, with wooden or plastic frames – these are just some options to finish off your spaces. But today’s roundup isn’t dedicated to them, today we are speaking of a very particular type of windows – interior or internal ones.
What Are Internal Windows?
Internal or interior windows are those located between rooms, inside. These aren’t glazed walls or doors but real windows with frames, and these frames and style of these windows can highlight the style of the space a lot. Why having them even? There are some advantages that may assure you to get them.

What Are Interior Window Advantages?
Interior windows are an unusual design feature that allows natural light to flow from one room to another, it’s extremely important if one of these rooms doesn’t have any windows. Adding interior windows is also a great way to make a room feel more open without completely removing a wall. Such windows easily connect spaces together allowing you to look how your family are cooking or to look after a baby in the next room. Interior windows provide a sound barrier unlike usual space dividers in an open layout and provide nice ventilation. If you want more privacy or less light, you may always cover the window with blinds just like any other usual one.

What Are Interior Window Disadvantages?
Though there are many advantages, disadvantages still exist, let’s take a look at them, too. If the window is pretty large, almost like a glazed wall, you will get less privacy. An interior window is a design feature that may fit not every space and should be styled properly, you should consider its type and its framing to match both interiors perfectly. It’s more costly to have a wall with a window than just a usual wall, and this is another, pretty important disadvantage, but that’s all, I wouldn’t say that interior windows have many disadvantages.
