Farmhouse windows can do more than brighten a room. They can frame a bed, shape a cozy dining nook, highlight a kitchen sink, or turn a sunroom into an inviting place to read and gather. These ideas show how trim, shutters, curtains, grids, black frames, and exposed panes can give each space its own character.
