Beautifying Your Home

Let The Karen Brown Team do the hard work for you: Nothing beats a window seat for an instant infusion of character and charm. A perfect spot to showcase a lush garden or view, it’s also an ideal retreat for reading or quiet time, adds seating and is attractive, buit-in piece of furniture whose looks you can change easily, inexpensively and often.

It’s nice to look out windows that are attractive as they are functional. Make them an alluring focal point with these ideas:

1. Add a touch of the exotic with natural-bamboo shades or blinds.

2. Leave windows uncovered and garland them with faux grapes, swags of dried flowers or a climbing vine to bring a sense of the outdoors inside.

3. Draw your eye to the view outside by painting the walls of a room one hue and the window frames a deeper or complementary shade of the color.

4. Filter light with sheer linen panels that soften but don’t obscure the view.

5. Complement the decor of a room with a prominent shade – ranging from an elaborate bouffant to a simple soft Roman.

6. Top a window with a pretty valance to hide rolled-up shades or blinds.

7. Surround windows in bookcases to add depth and interest.

8. Install a window seat where you can curl up and admire the view.

9. Add a top-down shade/ bottom-up shade in the same colors as your walls to provide.

10.Mimic the changing seasons by attaching paper snolwflakes, falling leaves or pressed flowers onto windowpanes.

11. Paint a scene on a window shade of a view you’d like to have.

12. Fill windowpanes with sun catchers or a collection of colored glass that will reflect the light in rainbow prisms.

13. Frame the window with a border of hanging plates or small trays.

14. Etch a natural design on windowpanes, or attach removable peel-and-stick etched-glass film.

15. Press flowers between framed glass panes and hang them in a city window for a country look.

16. Make a view: Hang a small landscape painting in the center of a window.

17. Paint a creative picture frame border around your window.

18. Stencil a design around a window that replicates the view- sailboats for a beach house, flowers for a window overlooking a garden or animals for a country abode.

19. Cover a window with a light-catching stained-glass panel instead of curtains or shades.

20. Combine a soft balloon valance to frame the window with shutters to provide privacy.

21. Attach transparent ribbons to seashells. Then loop and make a slipknot in the ribbons over a tension rod for a serene view.

22. Double the pleasure of a pretty view by placing a mirror opposite the window to reflect it.

23. Hang a display window with deep panes and a mirrored backing in front of a real window.

24. Drape a length of lace in the window to soften an unattractive view.

25. Fill a window with strands of glass beads hung from a wooden batten.

After the dreariness of winter, there’s nothing more welcome than spring, bringing longer days, brighter moods and the time to make those decorative changes to your comfort zone,you’ve long been planning.
