Everything you need for beautiful windows, selected by Amelia Thorpe

Traditional style

In this project by Yiangou Architects, a bank of bronze casement windows, with mock leaded lights fixed with a traditional bead, are set within hand-carved stone mullions.

Look smart

A cast stone window surround will add a smart finishing touch, as this Bulls-eye design suggests, from Haddonstone.

Good view

Cassetta Finestra terracotta window boxes could be filled with herbs, trailing geraniums or petunias for a summer display. Available in four sizes from Italian Terrace.

£115 each from www.italianterrace.co.uk

Hidden idea

This Spring Sash window is operated by a hidden spring, concealed inside a pocket, so that the mechanics are not visible. All windows are bespoke, with cost for a similar design about £3,050, including installation and guarantees.

By hand

Made in Suffolk using traditional metalworking techniques, the Monkey Tail window latch in Matt Black,  is designed for casement windows and is available in right- and left-handed versions.

Eye catching

Purple verbena mixed with trailing grey and white plants would look spectacular against the zinc-plated steel of this Window Box by Sarah Raven.

£52.50 for a large size, 20cm by 90cm by 20cm, from www.sarahraven.com

Flush fit

The aluminium framing on the bespoke Sieger Legacy Conservation Rooflight System has a minimal and flush exterior appearance, making it useful for listed and heritage buildings. The inner frame can be concealed within the building fabric to create a frameless effect when seen from the interior.
