Practical Window Beautification
Despite work and daily activities, we'll 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.
In these most cherished of places, the windows is one of the most important parts. Aside from providing light and letting in air throughout the house, windows are considered major components in terms of size, and serve as breaks and accents that give life to otherwise plain walls. As such, it shouldn't surprise one to know that windows affect our homes' designs significantly, and if designed well, 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 rules that one must follow in order to achieve maximum effect. And it 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 bit warmer? Having a definite goal and concrete design inside your head would make everything else easier for you.
Next, choose your color. Obviously, if you're going for the cooler and more spacious effect, go for light-cool and semi neutral colors like light blue, cream and beige. However, take into consideration other colors present inside the room when doing this. Obviously it is a crime to use blue for your window panels when the rest of the room is draped in warm tones. Using a color wheel is ideal for this stage. The wheel provides a guide which colors can be combined. A great tip when combining colors, go for what looks good and allows you to achieve your goal. When choosing drapes, whether you're going for the cooler or warmer effect, it is ideal to use lighter shades and materials. This allows for breathing effect and does not block natural light coming into the room.
Rugs also play an important part. Choose rugs that match the floor and do not clash with the color used for the window, otherwise it can draw all the attention to itself and away from the window and its surroundings.
Structure makes up the final rule. If you're planning to put a table with items right in front of the window, remember to keep the items on the table's surface to a minimum. Overcrowding the space can make the area look chaotic. Putting a vase that has live a live plant on the table is also advisable. If done properly, the act will add life and a sense of coolness and class to the room.
