Windows, being the eyes of the home, are considered very important areas. Inside, we take great pains in decorating them with dramatic swags of draperies, sheer fabrics and valances. At times, the glass can be given a touch of tint or color. While most decorations are mostly placed indoors, there is also a way to style the windows from the outside. The best way to do an outdoor window treatment is with the use of cedar window boxes.
Cedar window boxes are the most desirable things to use to spruce up your home's windows. They can draw the eyes of people from the streets. When planted with colorful flowers, they can make for an interesting and charming sight.
Like any other window embellishments, these also come in wide variety of styles. Choosing ones that are right for you should be given much thought and careful planning. Since you are using them to decorate your window, you should be careful in picking out the style that wouldn't clash with your home's outdoor architecture.
Most of these pieces come in rectangular trays. But, it is not as if you can only get straight boxes from them. They come with delicate scalloping rims and strong lattice-side panels. Some even come in stair-case panels which can be perfect for very large windows.
Since they are made from cedar, you get instant glamour in a box. Cedar wood at its prime can have a reddish tinge but it eventually fades to a grayish tinge as it ages. You may leave this natural finish on or you can paint them to match the color of your home's faade.
Attaching these plant box units to your windows is an easy matter. They come with brackets that can be nailed right through the window frames. When watering your plants, don't fear this could damage your window boxes. Holes are placed at the bottom of the tray so excess water wouldn't pool and will be able to drip away.
