10 Creative Ways to Dress Up Your Windows On a Budget

 Like other items in your home, windows deserve a makeover too! We understand that this seems weird, but do you know that a creatively-decorated vinyl frame window can make your house more aesthetically appealing while boosting its resale value! Visitors can see your windows from outside, meaning that decorative windows can also boost your home’s curb appeal.

 

Here are some creative and low-cost ways to dress up your home's windows.

 

 

Make Seasonal Curtains

The best way to decorate a window is to put curtains on it! Buying windows or sewing them yourself before putting them on the windows is a pretty simple process, but it's time to get creative with it!

 

As the name suggests, seasonal curtains represent a season. With seasonal curtains, you can bring in the weather inside your house (Not all parts of it, just the representation). For the summer season, buy a curtain cloth with fresh floral prints on it, and for the winter, purchase a curtain with small snow crystals print. Moreover, you can opt for simple cotton curtains for the summer season, and bring out some plush velvet curtains in the winter! These are affordable and fun, and look amazing!

Decorative Christmas Lights

Do you, like us, love holiday lights draped on trees? If yes, what's stopping you from using them around the year! They can act as an excellent window decoration item. Just buy a colorful holiday window garland and drape it stylishly on the top of your window.

 

 Allow some of it to hang down in front of the window! You can use white or monotone lights for a subtler but stylish look. Trust us, your guests will love it, and so will you!

Make Window Frames Vibrant

How often have you looked at your window frames and thought to yourself, ‘Damn, I would love it if they were purple!’ We have! And what's stopping you from turning them purple, pink, green, or any other vibrant shade?

 

Channel your inner painter and pick up those paint buckets and brushes today! Paint the window frame in the color of your choice for a creative window look! If you want to make things more interesting, you can also color the rods and the sill. Be as creative as you want; decorated windows look fantastic!

 

Make it stand out from the rest of the wall color. For instance, teal colored window frames against pure white walls would look simply stunning!

Try Potted Plants on the Sill

Keeping plants inside your house has various health benefits for you. In addition, they contribute toward making your home greener! However, not all plants can survive inside the house, and you should research the potted plants you can keep indoors. You can opt for flowers, some air-purifying plants, and even make a kitchen garden on kitchen window sill!

 

Just purchase small potted plants, and keep them on the window sill. They would look great from both outside and inside, plus they will help freshen up your mood. Moreover, indoor plants also make the indoor environment more refreshing and airy.

 

Use Plumbing Rods as Curtain Rods

Did your old curtain rods break, and you don’t want to buy new curtain rods? Simple, use the old plumbing rods from around the house to make your curtain rods. You can also paint them to create creative patterns and get curtains in contrast!

Bring Origami in The House

You may have heard people talk about the beauty of origami but do you know that they’re a fantastic, cost-effective way to decorate your windows? You might think that you need to be an expert artist to create origami, but you can easily find simple tutorials on YouTube or Google.

 

Follow these tutorials step-by-step, and make some hanging origami for your window. All you need is some pieces of paper, a thread, some time, and you’re good to go! We have seen hanging swans from the windows in many movies, and trust us; they look fantastic.
