How to
Style Your
Craftsman
Doors and
Windows
 When it comes to craftsman windows, remember that
curtains aren’t a necessity. The paneling is very
pronounced, so you may want to allow this to decorate
the window instead of adding a window treatment. If so,
paint the paneling in a metallic or jewel tone so that it will
stand out and draw the eye to the window area. Blinds
are an attractive addition to craftsman windows as well,
especially if you have a set of two or three windows
together. This allows you to maintain your privacy while
still showing off the shape and detail of the window.
 Craftsman doors are great for the entryway of your home
and look great with a large patio or porch. Craftsman-
style furniture like a porch swing or rocking chair look
great near craftsman doors, and you can easily accent the
door with a large door knocker or knob to bring the entire
look together. If your home’s exterior is filled with warm
colors, variations of bronze and gold are ideal for the
craftsman door. If you’ve decorated the outdoor area of
your home is adorned in cool shades, silver or platinum
accents are best. If you also have craftsman windows that
can be seen from the front of your home, choose
paneling and borders for your porch that will make the
front of your home to look more polished. For instance, if
you’ve chosen a pastel shade of green or blue for the
siding of your home, a stark shade of tan or beige will add
the perfect finishing touch to your outdoor décor.
