Creative Ways to Style Your Apartment Windows

They say the eyes are the windows to one’s soul, providing insight into a person. Similarly, the windows of your apartment provide it with light, warmth, and ventilation, thus elevating its aura and homeyness. Often, while planning our home’s interior decor we restrict the plans for windows to curtains that match the walls and the rest of the decor. However, there is so much more we can do with our windows so that they can complement the interiors and elevate the home’s aesthetic appeal. Here are a few tips to brighten and glam up your apartment’s windows:

Frame the View
Most apartments today come fitted with the usual aluminium UPVC frames and three or four sliding glass panels. Wooden window frames look elegant and complement wooden parquet flooring or wooden furniture. Similarly, you can choose to increase the panels or opt for French-style windows that provide a classic look. Add an internal arch to the windows in the bedrooms or study for a different look and aesthetic.

Play with Glass Panes
There are so many options available today in terms of the glass panes you can use for your windows. These range from clear glass to glazed glass, which provides protection from harmful UV light, and even leaded or stained glass panels. This last option is a sure shot at adding a design element to your windows. In addition to beautifying, stained glass also adds colour and refracts the light entering your home in a wondrous way that is reminiscent of stunning European basilicas.

Amp Up the Best Seats in the House
Who doesn’t love window seats? They are everyone’s favourite seats in the house: to enjoy a cup of chai by the windows, read a book, listen to your favourite music, or even just lounge on the seat and gaze at the view. Besides being classy, installing a window seat provides many creative avenues with your interior design. Window seats can be part of your usual sitting area or combined with a table to create a cozy dining area. They can even be left as comfy window seats with colourful cushions and upholstery and additional storage below the seats.

Display Walls and Shelves
If your windows enjoy a placement between walls then get creative with these side walls. Elevate your windows by displaying pieces of artwork or all your favourite family photographs. This is the perfect space for a vanity wall where prestigious certificates, honours, and awards can be displayed. Book lovers can put up shelves and convert dull window space into a wonderful, cozy little library nook with window seats as well.

Create Window Gardens
Most modern apartments come with outer grills and some space between the windows and grills. Make the most of this space by adding potted or hanging plants. This greenery will not only beautify your windows but also purify the air around you. Engage your green thumb with unusual plants such as succulents, which are low-maintenance, as well as the usual ones, such as herbs and flowers.

Look beyond your windows, and endless possibilities will emerge to make them a part of your home interior-design plans. Although a number of modern urban residential communities restrictchanges to windows in terms of elevation and shape to maintain the standard outward symmetry, there is still room to play with the look internally, which will provide aesthetic delight within your apartment without affecting the exterior.
