Window inspiration to help you look on the bright side
Natural light just makes everything look better; colors read as more vibrant, plants thrive and beautiful views of the neighborhood bring the lush Louisiana greenery in. Here at inRegister, we love a good dose of morning light, so we’ve looked into issues past and collected a few of our favorite windows that were built to shine. Check out the gallery below for some bright ideas for your next remodel.

While the bold green paint might initially draw you into this laundry room designed for the 2021 Ivy House Designer Show Home, the art will make you stay.
