Window Walls are both a creative and low cost project that is sure to make your space truly unique 

       Reusing windows as art pieces or a mini green houses is nothing new. But what about using them as wall dividers? Old windows can make a perfect visual break between two rooms or just help to break up a larger space. The best part is that with windows walls you don't loose light like you would with an actual wall or a traditional room divider. A hanging window wall will be sure to always be a conversation piece when guest come over. Window wall dividers are also perfect for small business like a local coffee spot or a self owned shop. They can really add a sense of uniqueness to a place. Check out just a few of these window wall ideas below.

    

 Windows on the Porch

  Live in a tight neighborhood? Want just a hint of privacy without losing natural sunlight? Why not construct a window wall out on your porch? You get a since of enclosure and some privacy without actually walling yourself in and loosing sunlight.

       If you live in a loft or a studio apartment the next two examples are definitely for you. Lofts and studios have very limited space and are usually just one really big, or in some cases a really small room. Every once in a while it would be nice to section yourself or a part of a room off. Traditional room dividers can make the room smaller and block out natural light. Not so with a window wall. You get that break in space without breaking up the room entirely. Below are two examples of taking a once single space and creating multiple through the use of a window wall.

A Tiny House in Idaho

       This particular example comes from a very interesting home in Idaho. Kieth and April Blankenship are proud owners of their self built Tiny House. The house itself is less than 220 sq ft. In their tiny house, Kieth and April have chosen to use the window wall concept to divide their "bedroom" from the rest of the house. The window wall helps divert some of the heat from the stove away form the bed. As you can see the window wall helps break up the space without sacrificing light or making the, already small space, any smaller.
