Tampa Bay Window Design Trends for Modern Coastal Homes

echow98 · 2025-05-07T12:07:48Z

Hello everyone! 👋 I’m planning to upgrade the windows in my Tampa Bay home and could use some advice on design trends and style ideas. My house is a 1980s coastal-style home (think beachy vibes) and I want to modernize the look with new windows. I'm aiming for that modern coastal aesthetic – clean lines, lots of light – but I also need practicality for our hot, storm-prone climate. I’ve done a bit of homework (and a drive around neighborhoods 😅) and I see things like big picture windows and maybe black window frames becoming popular. I’m not sure what works best in our area, though. Should I go for those large floor-to-ceiling windows, or stick to something more traditional? What about frame colors (white vs black vs other) in a beachy environment? Also, hurricane season is always on my mind here. I'm debating impact windows vs regular windows plus shutters – can I still get a stylish look with impact glass? And how do I balance getting lots of sunlight with keeping the house cool? Any insights on current window design trends, layout changes (like combining windows or adding transoms), or anything you've done to give your home a fresh look would be awesome. Local experiences are especially welcome. A friend suggested I reach out to a couple of local window pros (like Karoly Windows and ProTech Windoors) for ideas, but I wanted to hear from fellow homeowners first. Thanks in advance! 🙏
