Window Boxes that Brighten Your Home Inside and Out
Apr 14th
Have you wondered about a way to add some life to your indoor and outdoor home décor? There are very few things that you can do that impact both the inside and outside of your house. Window Boxes are the exception. Adding a window box, or garden, brimming with flowers and decorative plants, can add a touch of nature to any home.
A Burst of Color
If you love home style projects, you know that few things can brighten up a room like a healthy dose of colour can. You can’t repaint every time you are craving a colour change though, so adding some flower boxes to your windows are a great idea. Filling the flower boxes or window gardens, as they are sometimes called, can be a huge burst of colour ready to flood into a room whenever you open the curtains.
Inside or Outside
Traditional window boxes are installed externally. They are very easy to get into place and watering/caring for the plants are a breeze. Simply stroll by the window, open it up for some fresh air and give the plants a drink. Internal boxes require a little more planning and can be a little messier to deal with, but they are a wonderful way to bring a flower garden indoors.
Customizing Your Window Garden
If you are going to install window boxes, use the opportunity to really liven things up. Drive through your neighbourhood, chances are you will see the same half dozen types of flowers planted everywhere. Take note of what the neighbours are using and make a mental note to not get any of these popular choices. Pick some unusual plants that will make your new garden really stand out. Vary blooming times, colours, and sizes.
Adding window boxes bring the colours and beauty of a garden within view, even when you are inside. Spring is here and the time is right for adding some spring colour to your home’s style with window boxes.
