what size windows for 10 ft ceilings
Comments (16)In The Decoration of Houses, and as summarized below (with a bit of help from Grok), Edith Wharton and Ogden Codman Jr. discuss window design, emphasizing proportion, functionality, and aesthetic harmony. 1. Window Size Proportion to Room Size: Windows should be proportionate to the room’s dimensions to ensure balance and adequate light. Windows should follow a proportion where their height is typically 1.5 to 2 times their width. Panes should be divided by simple, slender mullions into rectangular panes (lights) with a height-to-width ratio of about 2:1. Regionality is also a consideration - northern homes need larger windows to light and warm rooms - southern homes, less so. Avoid Oversizing for Effect: Excessively large windows, often used for dramatic effect, can make interiors feel exposed or disproportionate, sacrificing comfort for ostentation. Same for large, unbroken sheet of plate-glass. 2. Window Placement Distance from Ceiling: To maximize natural light and create a sense of height in the room, windows (and doors) should be placed close to the ceiling as cornices and structural considerations allow, typically within 6 to 12 inches, to avoid a heavy, oppressive band of wall above the opening. Distance from Floor: The bottom of the window (sill height) should be low enough to allow for comfortable views when seated, particularly for garden-facing windows. Wharton suggests a sill height of approximately 2 to 3 feet from the floor, though this may vary slightly depending on the room’s function (e.g., higher sills in formal rooms, lower in informal spaces like sitting rooms). Front-Facing Windows: These should prioritize symmetry and alignment with the building’s facade to create a unified exterior appearance. The width and height should align with the wall’s divisions and other facade elements, such as doors or columns. Garden or Rear-Facing Windows: These windows can be designed with greater flexibility to emphasize views and light. Wharton advocates for larger windows or French doors on garden sides to connect the interior with the landscape, but they must still maintain proportional harmony with the room and exterior. For example, garden-facing windows may be wider or lower to the floor to enhance the sense of openness and connection to outdoor spaces.

Comments (9)Oh okay well you can buy them from online music stores like amazon or you can use your music cd and use it to save the music to your pc hard drive. There are some free sites online but you have to really look carefully at those to make sure it is legit. Some musicians allow free download of their music.

Comments (22)Hangover - You're right, the questions are not funny, they are legitimate. How am I suppose to help without a little background information? Perhaps Mr Newbie has a family to put through college and his money is better spent there than on the expense of overly tall ceilings, doors, and windows. I suggest you untwist your panties and quit being so judgmental and giving builders a bad name. If you don't like the way I gather information don't try to make it my problem....See More- 10 years ago
