Awning Windows
For the Dollhouse of your Dreams
Awning Windows: The First in our Style Definitions
(Click on any picture below for complete details of dollhouse window examples.)
Awning
Windows:
Your basic awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward. Screens are placed on the
interior of the window unit. For your dollhouse you may simply find windows with awnings overhanging
them as examples of these types of windows. Pictured Example:
Dollhouse Miniature Green & White Striped Bay Window Awnings
Casement
Windows:
Casement windows are hinged at the sides and project outward. Pictured Example #1:Working Casement Window
Pictured Example #2: Double Casement Window
Hopper Windows:
Hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and open inward. (Generally not found for dollhouses.)
Sliding
Windows:
A Vertical Slider or Single Hung window, as it is also known, is identical to a
Horizontal Slider but the bottom slides up. (Sliding windows are often the windows that you will
find for dollhouses. They tend to be the ones that slide up as well. In our Dollhouse Store search
with the term "working windows" under the title "Dollhouse Windows" and you will find a number of
entries.) Pictured Example: Traditional Side-by-Side Working Window
Bay Windows:
A
bay window is a window space projecting outward from the main walls of a building and
forming a bay in a room, either square or polygonal. Bay windows are often associated with Victorian
architecture. Pictured Example #1: Dollhouse Miniature Working Bay Window

Octagonal
or Round Windows:
An octagon window is simply and most popularly defined as "an eight-sided polygon
window". A round window is just that - round. Used in creating additional character in
your dollhouse. Pictured Example #1: 1/2-Inch Scale Octagonal Window
Pictured Example #2: Dollhouse Miniature Round Window
Arched
Windows:
A Palladian window is a member of the arched windows group. Made with three openings
and the central window is wider with an arched top. Pictured Example: Dollhouse Miniature Palladian Working Window

Your Imagination: The Secret of your Success!
Your basic dollhouse building supplies do resemble home-sized building supplies.
Although the tendency is not to find absolutely everything you would encounter in structuring a full sized building. However, always remember what you see in your surroundings can be copied in your miniature world.
With a bit of creativity and originality you can recreate designs you come across in everyday life.
So never discount your own ability or imagination. Imagination is one of your most valuable assets while creating a mini environment. Without it you may find what you attempt to create, basically speaking, will not fly.
So always get creative with your imagination. You'll be pleasantly surprised at where you end up.
Who knows maybe you'll design the next wave of uniquely collectible dollhouses. Ones people will rave about for years to come.
