Oval window

A bull's-eye window is a round or oval window in the attic. An original and charming skylight.

Leave the bull's-eye window bare (without curtains) to expose its shape. Frame painted in contrast to highlight it. Round mirror echoing in the room.

Pitfall: a bull's-eye window hidden by furniture or a curtain that conceals its charm. Let it breathe and clear the view.

The bull's-eye window integrates particularly well into classic architectural styles, such as colonial or Victorian. It brings a charming and original touch to these types of buildings.

To highlight the bull's-eye window, it is best to place it symmetrically on the facade, either in the center or in a balanced way with other architectural elements. Avoid placing it randomly or too off-center.

You can choose noble materials like wood, stone, or metal to frame your bull's-eye window. This will enhance this architectural element while harmonizing with the style of your building.

Although a bull's-eye window is generally equipped with glazing, you can also choose to leave it open, especially if you want to promote natural ventilation in the attic. This will bring a more raw and authentic touch to your decor.

In addition to its aesthetic role, the bull's-eye window has several practical functions: it brings natural light into attic spaces, it can facilitate ventilation, and it can also serve as a privileged viewpoint to the outside.
