Practical Window Makeover

Despite work and daily activities, well spend the majority of our lifetimes in one place: our home

. As the backdrop for growth and development, the home serves as pedestals where we grow up, hone our personalities and eventually bring up the next generation, our children.

Structurally speaking, windows are one of the most important parts of our homes, yet one of the most taken for granted in terms of design. Aside from providing light and air throughout the entire house, our windows are also considered major structures in terms of size and serve as breaks and accents that give life to our otherwise plain walls. Hence, it shouldnt be surprising to know that our windows affect our homes designs significantly, and if treated correctly, can dramatically change and improve our living space.

There are a number of ways to beautify existing windows. One of the most common methods is to use curtains, in combination with the right furniture and accents, to bring out the best from them. However, it is important to know that this is not always done correctly. Some of the usual mistakes by those attempting to improve their homes using this method include overdoing their windows with too much stuff such as knick knacks; not using the proper colors to match the rest of the house; and hanging heavy curtains and drapes that can stifle rather than freshen breathing space.

In order to properly accentuate your windows, there are three basics to be followed to achieve maximum effect. It all starts with knowing what you want. Do you wish for the windows to open up the room and make it seem bigger, or do you want it to make the room a warmer and more cozy? Having a definite goal and concrete design makes everything easier for you, as it becomes the basis for planning out the accompanying dcor.

After coming up with a design, choose the color you want to use. When deciding for a color scheme, consider other colors present inside the room. You obviously dont want to go for a blue brace when the rest of the rooms orange. Also, think about the effect you wish to achieve. If youre going for a warm feel, use warm tones. If youre going for a more light and opening effect, then go for neutral and cool tones. It is highly advisable that one uses a color wheel at this point. The color wheel will give you an idea which colors can go together. Rule of thumb, go with what looks good and speaks the design you wish to achieve.

Rugs, curtains and drapes also play important parts in terms of appeal. For drapes and curtains, it is advisable that one chooses light fabrics and plain to minimal patterns (if there are any). This allows the focus to remain on the entirety of the design and not solely on the fabric. It also allows for more air and sun to get inside the room. When choosing rugs, choose colors and patterns that do not go against the floor but still compliments the colors on the window.

Last but not the least is structure. If you plan to put a table with knick knacks near the window, it is highly recommended that you do not overdo it by crowding a lot of stuff on top. Its very important to limit things to that they cover only near fifty percent of the tables surface. If possible, opt to place a vase with live plants among the space. If done properly, this adds life and a sense of coolness and class to any room in your home.
