Inspiration for your window decor

The window is so much more than the room’s source of light. They are our eyes out of the home. That’s why it’s important to decorate them thoughtfully. And window decor, in particular, My Windows great passion. Here are our top tips for inspiration for your window decor!

Create a mood board

Before you start styling your windows it can be helpful to visualize the desired end result using, for example, a mood board. It doesn’t need to look a certain way but can be a collection of images of window treatments or interior design in general that you like. To find inspiration you can look at My Windows well-curated Instagram account and the website and supplement with photos from sources like Pinterest. Once you have the collection of images in front of you, you can use them as a reference before making a decision on a decor detail or selecting colors, materials, and hanging methods for your curtains. 

Narrow or deep window sills?

When it comes to window decoration, size doesn’t matter. Regardless of how deep your windowsill is, there are several ways to decorate it beautifully. If you have a narrower windowsill, there are many different decorative items that fit perfectly. The challenge here is primarily not to be confined to what typically decorates a window. Place a beautiful painting, a fan or your beautiful watering can on the windowsill. Also, try to group various things together, like a pair of candleholders stand closer together while two plants form another ‘group’ on the sill. With a deeper windowsill, you literally have more room to work with and can place larger potted plants that can make a statement, as well as arrange beautiful books or magazines that inspire you.

The windowsill – a place for more than just potted plants.

This thing about letting your thoughts wander freely and coming up with interior details that can adorn the window can be tricky. Therefore, here are some concrete tips:

• Why not let the cut flowers take their place on the windowsill? It’s usually the landscape of potted plants, but feel free to place both cuttings and larger vases with flower arrangements there to give your window some extra styling love.
• Grandma’s beautiful box, the model doll you use when painting, or miniature statue that you found at a thrift store? The windowsill also has room for personal items and heirlooms that you want to give a little extra attention. 
• Items in shiny metal capture the window’s light in a fantastic way. So go ahead and place that brass candlestick or silver bowl there.

However, keep in mind that the window doesn’t need to be overcrowded. Allowing only one or a few select items to adorn the windowsill can be very effective. 

Curtain panels + blackout curtains = true

A very decorative way to style the window is by framing it with both a thinner curtain and blackout curtains in a heavier material on the outside. Another point of inspiration for beautiful window decoration is to combine a decorative, thinner curtain with a discreet and practical rollerblind.
