How to Make A House A Home: This Month Windows

The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up your home windows for spring. If you’re like most people, you probably have a long list of projects you want to tackle. But if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to freshen up your home, why not start with your windows? Here are a few different ways to give your windows a makeover this spring.

Install plantation shutters

Plantation shutters are a classic window treatment that never goes out of style. Plus, they do a great job of controlling light and privacy. If you’re looking for a window treatment that will last for years to come, you can buy plantation shutters.

Hang some new curtains or drapes

Curtains and drapes are another great way to control light and privacy in your home – not to mention they come in so many different styles, colours and fabrics, so you’re sure to find something that fits your taste and your budget for a great award winning design. If you’re not sure where to start, check out some of the latest trends in curtains and drapes – you might be surprised at how easy it is to find something you love!

Add some new blinds or shades

Blinds and shades are another popular window treatment option. Like curtains and drapes, they come in a variety of styles, colours, and fabrics to fit any taste or budget. They’re also a great way to control light and privacy in your home, so if you’re looking for an affordable way to update your windows this spring, consider adding some new blinds or shades.

Get rid of old or outdated window treatments

If your windows are currently adorned with old or outdated window treatments, now is the perfect time to get rid of them! Donate them to a local thrift store or consignment shop, or simply throw them away. Either way, getting rid of old window treatments will give your windows a fresh new look this spring.

Give your windows a good cleaning

Don’t forget the importance of giving your windows a good cleaning this spring! Dust build-up can make even the cleanest windows look dirty, so be sure to give them a good dusting (inside and out) before you start working on any other projects. Once your windows are clean and sparkling, you’ll be amazed at how much brighter and cleaner your whole house will look.

Hang shutters on the outside of the window

If you live in an older home with double-hung windows, you may want to consider hanging shutters on the outside of the window. Shutters were originally designed for function, not style. But today, they come in a variety of styles that can add charm and character to your home’s exterior.

Paint your window trim

If you want an inexpensive way to dress up your windows, consider painting the trim around the window (or even the whole window). You can use a colour that complements your home’s exterior or go for a bolder colour that makes a statement – just make sure you use high-quality paint so it will last for years to come.

Add stained glass accents

For something truly unique, consider adding stained glass accents to your windows. Stained glass is beautiful and timeless, and it can add value to your home if done properly by a professional craftsman/woman.
