Decorate Your Windows With Beautiful Window Boxes


Are you tired of that old looking window? Well, there are actually many ways in which you can re-design or totally change the look of your windows. Do not be afraid to take the big step to change the old stuff, as long as you know that everything is for the better. And also, I can provide some tips in this blog of mine for a more practical yet expensive-looking windows. I have done it at home and I wanted to share it with everyone too. First of all, try to think what you really wanted for your windows to look like because your personality will definitely reflect on it. Remember that windows are like our eyes, they are our easiest access to the outside world. We can see from inside our houses what is going on outside without leaving our comfort zone.


Next try to look for designs that would match or go along with the kind and size of your window. At home, I have added a plant beside my window it is placed in a windowsill self watering planter. I don't have to worry about my indoor plant anymore since it has everything it needs from the sunlight, to air and water. Maintaining a plant is very easy with the help of the self watering planter. I just have to check it once or twice a week to make sure that the water supply is enough for the next days. Also, you can add some lights on your windows since Christmas is already fast approaching. You can match the design to the monthly occasions too. You could also hang a nice curtain to cover up a bit.






You can also add a window box outside and plant it with your favorite flowers or herbs if it is near your kitchen. So that, it would be easier for you to get fresh herbs while you are cooking. You can never go wrong in decorating your own windows or your own home for that matter. Go with your instinct always, but remember to make things simple. Simplicity is beauty!

Windows Are Focal Points Of Every Home


A window as we all know is an opening in a wall, door or vehicle that allows the passage of light, and if not closed or sealed, air and sound may also pass through it. When it comes to home improvements, windows are often the last thing homeowners think about, especially in the face of more exciting and fun projects like re-doing a kitchen, bathroom or putting in hardwood flooring. Outdated themes or 1970's colors are practically begging for a fresh look, and new windows. Modern windows are usually glazed or covered in some other transparent or translucent material and are held in a place by frames, many of these glazed windows may be opened, to allow ventilation, or closed, to exclude inclement weather.


Replacing of windows at home can add significant value to your house just by improving your energy efficiency because of the fact that as much as one third of the average home's heat loss occurs through windows and doors. Just like any parts of your home, windows will also age. Wood windows may rot, warp, or become termite infested, while vinyl can peel and cranks in casement windows may no longer work. Today's window technology is simply more advanced than ever. With the recent focus on the environment and prevention, conservation and sustainability, window manufacturers have made energy efficiency a priority and have developed creative innovations for your windows at home.


Regular maintenance can help you better assess the state of your windows. Adding aluminum window boxes and plants to your windows will definitely add a sophisticated touch to any home, while helping you receive fresh air due to the natural flowering plants. Always remember that windows can create an interesting focal points to your home. Letting natural light provide most of the illumination, and establish a welcoming environment for you and your family to enjoy.
