DON'T MISS A THING

Window decorations can add the perfect finishing touches to your interior design scheme. From spring wreaths in the center of each window to garland covering their frame, window ornaments draw the eye and bring together any room.

Artsy Chicks Rule offers this farmhouse window decor idea as a simple DIY project to enjoy year-round. Simply use distressed paint and your message to get this up quickly!

1. Curtains

Install drapes that add a splash of color and personality to your windows by choosing fabrics with contrast. Opting for contrasting fabrics for an eye-catching effect or using panelled fabric on two thirds and plain on three can create visual separation, without blockages to light or heat. A narrow iron pole and eyelet heading is great way to adorn large windows; for more narrow ones add a sash or tieback as the finishing touch!

RemodelaCasa suggests using fabric with decorative illustrations to dress windows without stunning views, similar to their ones. Or try decorating them with nature-inspired decorations like trees or ferns hanging from frames; switch up these decorations seasonally for maximum impact in your home!

If your window is located along a walkway or long curtains would be cumbersome, try creating an optical illusion by mounting a mirror below it – this will conceal its edges while adding height and spaciousness. For an ornate, classic look, attach a wood or fabric cornice directly below your curtain rods for an added decorative element.

2. Blinds

Window treatments are often an overlooked design element, yet adding window dressings can bring color and personality into any space. Curtains, blinds or shutters – there are various ways you can make your sliding tilt windows stand out!

Patterned shades create an eye-catching juxtaposition against solid-color curtains or even plain white frames, but to achieve the best look possible it is important to limit the number of patterns and match colors so as to achieve a cohesive appearance.

If your windows are small, try creating an optical illusion by hanging floor-length drapes to make them appear bigger. Or hang a mirror below each window and add a matching valance that covers its bottom edge for even more depth and dimension.

Window ledges make ideal spaces to display plants, photos, or knick-knacks. A window box filled with fall flowers or berries adds seasonal charm to any room; decorative candles make equally charming window decor when placed together as part of a group. Balsam Hill provides an extensive selection of premium greenery and decorations that help celebrate each season!

3. Shutters

Window shutters add an eye-catching flair to any room’s decor thanks to their versatility. From standing alone or pairing with curtains and blinds, to being painted a vibrant hue or seamlessly integrated into the woodwork in your home – window shutters can transform a dull room into something extraordinary! They even resemble classic bay windows or mimic barn door designs!

One effective way of decorating shutters is with foliage that complements their shade, such as spring wreaths, garland or window sill gardens. Another approach would be hanging wall decor like frames photos and paintings on them.

Furniture made of window shutters is also an enjoyable project that can add holiday flare with festive garlands or decorations. Another creative use for shutters is turning them into shadow boxes – Artsy Chicks Rule shares their technique for doing just this to display beautiful pressed flowers to give your home an air of freshness and cleanliness.

4. Window Coverings

Window coverings or window treatments are decorative elements that adorn windows to provide privacy, light control, and heat regulation. There is an assortment of materials, designs and colors available that suit every interior design style–from sheer curtains to shades.

Drapes are an essential choice for most homeowners and can come in various lengths, widths and styles. Fabric choices for drapes range from luxurious velvets and patterns to simple cottons – as well as being suitable for layering with other treatments such as shades. Shades are soft fabric panels which gather or roll around a rod – they can be used alone or combined with drapes to create an elegant look while being incredibly practical in most rooms. Options for roller shades, Roman shades and cellular shades all exist as options that provide practicality as well.

Displaying flowers during spring and summer is an engaging way to add life and color to window frames, providing visitors with an inviting sight. Balsam Hill’s outdoor-safe artificial florals are perfect for this purpose, while window boxes offer another creative outlet – you could fill them with vibrant foliage, seasonal decorations or holiday-specific ornaments!

5. Suction Cups

Suction cups offer an effective solution for hanging window decorations without needing to drill a hole into your window frame. Available in different sizes and equipped with hooks, clips, screws or sign holder attachments – you can even find these suction cups in various colors and shapes to best match your window decor!

Suction cups can also make for an excellent way to attach string decorations such as fairy lights or garlands, providing they’re applied on clean, nonporous surfaces. If the suction cups slip, try applying petroleum jelly or silicone to strengthen their grip – this may help them stay put!

Avoid using blue tack, sellotape or glue to adhere items to window frames; these materials may leave unsightly marks that can be difficult to clean. If you need help mounting decorations safely and securely on window frames without damaging them, seek professional guidance; they’ll know the safest methods without endangering window frames and recommend suitable attachments for decorations.
