If you want to beautify your home, you don’t have to break the bank. There are many ways to spice up a home, and targeting your windows is one of the easiest ways of doing so. Keep reading to find out how cleaning and decorating your windows can spice up your home’s curb appeal.
Clean Them Up – The first step you can take to give your home that new, fresh curb side look is to clean them up. Be honest with yourself: When was the last time your windows got a good cleaning? We’re talking about wiping them down inside and out and even scrubbing down the screens to dislodge any dirt and pollen. Don’t forget the window sills and sashes! You’ll be surprised how clean and beautiful a home can look, on the inside and outside, when the windows are clean. We advise cleaning your windows first, and if your home is still lacking luster, try one of the following.
Drapery – Sometimes the wrong drapery, or lack thereof, can really dress down a home. Drapery gives a home a warm, cozy feeling while adding personalized style. Not only do drapes dress up your home from the inside, but they also work wonders for those viewing your home from the outside. Don’t underestimate good drapery until you’ve tried it.
Window Replacements – If after you’ve cleaned and draped your windows but they still don’t dress up your home, maybe it’s time to replace them. If your windows are old and worn out, even a good washing may not be enough to liven them up; plus, you don’t want old, inefficient windows, so perhaps it’s time to bite the bullet and get those windows replaced.
Seasonal Decor– If you want to add just a little bit of flair, don’t be afraid to decorate your windows with seasonal decor. During the spring and summer, place potted flowers in the windows; during the fall, go get some cute gourds and small pumpkins and replace those potted plants. Over the winter, wreaths and holly leaves are incredibly festive.
