Apartment residents are not always able to enjoy the view from their windows.

It happens that windows overlook dull courtyards or concrete fences, which, of course, do not bring any aesthetic pleasure.

There is no need to rush to draw the curtains and leave your house in semi-darkness all the time.

Let's add a little brightness

There are several effective and at the same time economical options to improve the situation.

According to Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, you can transform your home space in such a way that the view from the window will not spoil the overall impression of the interior.

In conditions where the windows sadden with a view of depressing external spaces, you can repaint the window slopes in a bright color.

This will “switch” your attention to them, that is, you will stop noticing what is happening outside the window.

All you need for the “operation” is paint, a roller, masking tape and a little free time.

Electric fireplace and stained glass windows

Another option is to place an object in front of the window that will draw attention to it. For example, an electric fireplace.

And the fire will also create an atmosphere of home comfort.

You can disguise the glass with stained glass, which will not only hide unwanted views from the window, but will also serve as a bright accent in the interior.

It is recommended to use stained glass films - they can be easily changed depending on your mood.

Curtains

Curtains can be hung at the bottom of the window, thereby maintaining privacy without completely closing the window.

This option is especially good for those who live on the ground floors or whose windows are under the watchful eye of curious neighbors.

Windowsill

You can also grow plants on the windowsill - goodbye to the dull, joyless view outside the window and may there now be comfort and harmony in your home.

By the way, the window sill can also be used as a shelf for decorative items.

Place vases, candles or photo frames on it, for example.

This simple method distracts attention from what is outside the window, and the interior gets a finished look.
