Decorating your windowsill can get a little bit complicated, especially if you aren’t sure how you want to incorporate it into the rest of your home. But even if you find yourself questioning where you should begin these 10 fun ways to decorate your windowsill can help you single out an idea amid the countless possibilities.
Flowers are perfect for brightening up any room – especially during the seasons of Spring and Summer. But whoever said that flowers are only meant for the garden? By getting a couple of flower pots – along with the seeds of your favorite plants – you can have a beautiful display in no time. Not only that but you can pick colors that reflect the room itself – and/or blend well with its interior.
Lights – although most common during the Christmas season – can be used all year round, especially in the frame of your windowsill to brighten up any dim lighting. In doing so. you can spice up your place, and potentially save money on the price you would pay for your overhead lights by simply not using them. The best part about lights is that they don’t just serve as meaningless decoration, but can brighten your mood in the process of brightening your windowsill. This can give a beautiful lightning bug effect when you look out your window, and up at the night sky.
Stickers serve as the perfect way for you to decorate your windowsill through self-expression. Just make sure that you choose stickers that can easily be peeled off when it comes time to do so. In fact, holidays are the perfect opportunity for you to use these – allowing you to be as creative as you want. Just don’t forget to take them down when the holidays are over.
Wouldn’t you like the base of your windowsill to be used for something other than a place to prop your phone while it’s charging? Well, one way that this can be done is through the use of seashells – to help alleviate any white space. The best part about this is that you have a variety of aspects to choose from – such as the theme, the placement, and the size of each shell. But even if you own zero shells, you still have the opportunity of choosing something similar – that’s just as pretty – such as mineral rocks.
Many of us know the feeling of failing to get curtains till the last minute – or better yet – just not getting them at all. But when all else fails – and you find yourself wanting to get rid of the plain white blinds – a tapestry can pose as most effective, especially if you pick the right one. With it, you not only block out the sun but “peeping toms” as well. So. in doing so, your windowsill ends up getting style, shade, and safety – making for a lot happier you.
Beads are perfect – as long as you can handle the noise of them rattling against one another. These allow the sun’s rays to peer through each – making for a beautiful display of color – while lighting up your windowsill in the process. This will even give you the opportunity to make your own beaded ropes – if you chose to do so – or pick the design that best fits your personality. Just be sure and secure each colorful string of rope so that small gusts of wind don’t cause your beads to spiral out of control – or fall apart.
Even though bedazzling is most commonly used to place rhinestones onto clothing – as decoration – it’s not uncommon to get creative with it. And what better way to do that than to add rhinestones to the frame of your windowsill? This is not something that many people would think of right off the bat, but in doing so you get to have a fun-filled craft session. The best part, however, comes through looking forward to the end result of a glammed up windowsill.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with the things you already have. You know those old glow-in-the-dark star stencils that are collecting dust at the bottom of a box somewhere? You can still make use of them when prepping your windowsill for those cool summer nights. In order to do this all you need is some super glue – or something equally as durable – so that you are able to attach your stars to your windowsill or window screen. In doing so, you can have your very own makeshift night sky in a matter of seconds.
If you are one who enjoys gentle noise than a small set of wind chimes may be perfect for your windowsill. In fact – on windy days – you can delight in opening your window screen and listening to the light tink of metal on metal. The best part about it is that the wind chime of your choosing doesn’t have to be just metal, but glass, shell, or other such materials. This gives you a bigger variety so that you can find a set that best compliments your window – and you – rather than taking away from it. The sooner you do this the sooner you can find yourself relaxing to the sound of a design that is not only pretty but peaceful.
If you’re big into smells than your windowsill could serve as the perfect spot for you to harbor your candles and incense. Not only that, but you can pick an array of scents based on your mood – and incorporate them into your decoration. But don’t be afraid to get creative with your line up by alternating scents – and switching things up. It’s only through doing so that you can find out what’s best for you.
