Would you dare not look at a picturesque scene such as this?
Have you ever thought how the rooms with the most pleasant vibe in your home are actually those that present a wonderful view of the outdoors? You might think that your landscaping and the snow-capped mountain near your home have nothing to do with your interiors but they can actually play a huge role in terms of beautification.
If you live near a shore side or if your home happens to be surrounded by a lot of trees, then you can maximize your interiors by taking advantage of these outdoor views.
Inside Out
Prior to setting up the landscaping on your exterior grounds, you can plan that space by looking from the inside. More often than not, homeowners plan their landscaping looking outdoors, buying the plants right away, and positioning them where they look best coming from the street; you could actually change this approach.
Go inside your home then see how you could create the perfect view for those massive windows. You would want to plan a layout that would perfectly frame the trees and the bushes that will be grown outdoors. You would also like to highlight a flowering shrub.
Don’t be limited to just one room, though. Remember that exterior landscaping can be viewed from three or even more rooms at the same time. The earlier you plan the layout, the happier you will be with the result that you will accomplish.
Outdoor-Based Palette
The American Leather couch effectively echoes the colors of the sandy beaches.
That huge glass pane could serve as one of the walls in a living room. This is the case for a lot of homes these days. It’s like having a full wall painted with nature’s colors. Just imagine if you have a home that overlooks the Pacific Ocean – you will see the sandy hues and the blues and greens each day.
For outdoor views that are brighter and more vibrant, consider using neutrals for your interior palette so that the focus will now be turned to the fabulous vistas.
Create Panoramic Views
Marge Carson piece: The panoramic view outside serves as the colorful walls in this bright living room.
If you don’t already have them at the moment, then there’s no better time than now to create one.
Remodel your home to include a sunroom, porch, conservatory or outdoor rooms that are all great ways to bring nature in. Make sure that this new room will not disrupt the present floor plan.
Set up a screen if you already have a porch. You can also create a landscape in the form of fountains, planters, or even simple potted plants.
Topple Walls and Bring In Greeneries
If your home is like a lot of homes nowadays with the outdoors blocked with heavy draperies, opaque walls, and dark colors, then it’s up to you to create a vista. Here’s a compromise that you will have to make, though – you need sunlight since the plants will need this as you would also.
Open up your space by breaking down walls if necessary. You can also place potted plants on the outdoor part of the windowsills and have the inner sills filled with these potted beauties, too. What you’ll have created is a unified look that will fuse the outdoor and indoor greeneries.
Should you have a window that looks out to an unsightly part of the neighborhood, then you can turn this around by planting ivy and allowing it to climb on a decorative trellis. Before you know it, your home will be paradisiacal.
One Window Is All It Takes
Century Furniture: This one window made the biggest difference in this mainly neutral room.
Sometimes, all it takes to connect the indoors with the outdoors is one, huge window that will provide the best viewing experience. When uncertain, pick a clean, uninterrupted, panoramic view as much as you can.
Pick the floor-to-ceiling type of window complete with sliding doors going straight to the patio. An alternative is the picture window, sliding window or the casement window.
Say no to grilles.
There is also another single window that could provide all the views that you would need. It can even help with the illumination in your home. Installing a skylight allows you to rely on natural lighting as you also get to have a good view of the blue skies.
Beauty and Security
Apart from its aesthetic benefits, a home office window that looks out into the yard will allow the parent to work while still keeping an eye on his or her kids. You also have the advantage of seeing who approaches your property.
Privacy is a main concern for glass window installations, though. If you don’t want people looking into your home all the time, then you could partially obscure the window glasses or have the glass panes tinted. Just be sure to use blinds or curtains at night because the tint will only obscure the view during the day.
Install the Right Window
The window materials aren’t the only things that you should be concerned about. These materials, after all, need the proper architectural frames so that they could truly feature the outdoor sceneries.
Here are the window types that are often used to showcase the best outdoors scenery –
Bay. This is a projecting, three-paneled unit. It is often wide enough to present the landscape in a single frame. It can easily fuse with any architectural feature or it can also be perennially Victorian. It is versatile so it can even be used to replace an old picture window.
Bow. This is much like the bay window but with extra broad glass panes. It can house up to six panels. The sub-windows can be operated so you can let in the breeze while clearly enjoying the views outside.
Picture. This can easily become the focal point in a home. It is basically large so it can provide an expansive view of the outdoors. This does not open, though, so you can combine it with an operating window or two.
Sliding. These may be short but they are wide so they’re the best for smaller rooms that come with low ceilings. You also don’t sacrifice a lot of wall space so you get to enjoy nature without eating up much square footage.

Add the Hancock and Moore Living Room Window Chair for an even more appealing window setup.
The room’s ambiance can greatly improve with the window treatments that you use in your home. Adding light or downplaying it can also add to the formality or casual look of the space.
Sheer Curtains
You should primarily ask yourself whether you need light control or privacy. If you are dressing up a bedroom window then you might want to look for semi-sheer curtains. During daytime, this should provide you with enough shade from the heat of the sun while, at night, it can give you your needed privacy.
As early as 3100 BC up to 3rd BC, Egyptians used curtains made from animal hides. These were hung on doorways using hooks. Through the years, these curtains became spun textiles (made of linen or flax, then silk, wool and cotton).
During the Renaissance era, curtains brought color and life to the lives of everyday people. While the functions of curtains then was also to provide privacy, they did not look anywhere near the designs of curtains that we have today.
Roman Shades
If you have a view that’s not so attractive but you are in dire need of natural light, you could invest in roman shades that you could install to distract from the awful view. This, however, will allow ample light to still pass through.
But did you ever wonder why Roman shades aren’t just referred to as mere shades?
Its origins point all the way to the Roman times when households hung wet cloth over the windows to keep the dust, dirt, and debris from entering their homes. Nearby, the Roman Colosseum was then being constructed.
Pretty soon, they began decorating ornate clothes with lovely patterns to provide a stylish look to their bare windows. Even after the construction of the architectural wonder, the window treatment already stuck.
Solar Shades
These are referred to as the window sunglasses because of their opaque look. Using solar shades allow you to maintain the beauty of the outside view while offering ample light control.
The openness factors range from 3% to 14%. You can pick the higher percentage if you want to have more light to come in.
Wood Blinds
We go back again to the Egyptians who strung reeds to create blinds; the Chinese, on the other hand, picked bamboo. The Persians were the ones who introduced the blinds to the city of Venice, hence, from there, the Venetian blinds became renowned.
It was Edward Bevan who got the first patent for these blinds. Thomas Jefferson was also believed to have a spot for these window treatments. He loved them so much that he included them in this last will and testament.
It is not difficult to figure out why wood blinds continue to appeal to homeowners all over the globe. There are now aluminum blinds, vinyl blinds, motorized blinds, and solar shades. There are even mini blinds for the tiny windows that you have at home.
Woven Shades
There are also window treatments that are made of woven wood. The variety of materials include reeds, grasses, and bamboo. These are beautiful because they come with delicious textures.
These add a natural, casual feel to any space. You can easily add liners if you want to keep the privacy in a room. You can also customize the woven wood according to your preference.
Pleated Shades
This type of shades are made using one piece of fabric. Pleats are then added which easily stack and collapse as you slowly raise the shades. The slats provide your home with a semi-sheer and casual look which brings in ample light but in a filtered way that won’t hurt your eyes.

Fall and eventually winter are the perfect seasons to gather with family and friends. This is the right moment to gather around afire and to just enjoy each and everyone’s company. People from Scandinavian nations refer to this as hygge which roughly translates to cozy and warm or being in a peaceful ambiance.
Here are some of the leading reasons why Nordic design can be equated to hygge –
There is always a focal place in Nordic homes where people gather around to talk or just to relax. This room often has the most comfortable chairs, photo albums (so family members and guests can reminisce if they want to), a plethora of books, ample lighting, and game boards or some cards.
More often than not, this place has a fireplace or even a simple wood stove. Just imagine the whole family drinking from their mugs of hot chocolate while waiting for Christmas. It’s the most sublime picture.
And this is not just at the dining table.The living room could also be decorated with the most interesting candles. Even the kitchen counters, living room coffee table, and the bedroom nightstands have their own sets of candles.
And at dinnertime, Scandinavians make it a point to enjoy a candlelit gathering. If you’re concerned about everyone’s safety, then use tea lights or votives since these are less likely to be blown and toppled. Tapers are often the cause of accidental fires so you can also pacify your mind with some battery operated pieces.
This could be the unspoken rule throughout the Nordic nations – that you can never have too many candles. Just imagine the long winter nights that you have to sleep through. There surely is a need for ample lighting.
Create the most magical mood by adding more flickering candles throughout your home. Once again, just make sure that they won’t topple when a breeze suddenly blows in the room.
The holiday season is the time for comfort food. Apart from the aforementioned mug of hot cocoa, you can also enjoy other beverage and food that are common during Christmas such as –
Fruit salad complete with panettone croutons
Grape Focaccia
Prime Beef Rib
Christmas cakes
Candies
Herb-roasted chicken
Eggnog, and many more.
Especially around the dining table to enjoy dessert and coffee. On many nights, fresh fruits or a cup of tea is what each family member or guest enjoys. Square chocolates are also widely enjoyed. The idea of Nordic comfort is to provide a little something to entice the guest or relative to stay a bit more.
You can even up the level of hygge by taking off your shoes and enjoying baked desserts with your guests. And if you’re really feeling up to it, you can even relax and just eat your dinner at the breakfast nook or even on the couch.
Oh, what could be more relaxing than a good piece of music? Music is one of the magical ways to create an instant comfortable ambiance. Consider the kind of mood that you would want to evoke in your home. Play some jazz music and you’re off to many restful evenings.
The music that you use should be soft enough because jarring noise would lower your chances of achieving hygge. Also, the secret is to play music that won’t require you to shout just so you could converse with your family.
Just take a look at the faux furs and the throws that are strewn on the floor. These are just some of the pieces that are inviting enough to make you feel relaxed.
Have a stack of blankets on the ready.

Make the dining room more splendid with the Fine Furniture Design Dining Room Jardin Lattice Console 1352-856.
The lattice or latticework is a kind of open work framework that has crisscrosses or strip patterns. These are building materials that are usually metal or wood. This design is made by crossing the strips in order to create a weave or grid.
Latticework isn’t all design or all about beautification. It can also be functional, for instance, this can aid proper airflow through a space. This can also serve as a truss when used in as a lattice girder. Lattices are also used as a means to have privacy when you use a lattice screen.
Latticework, during the Classical period, were made of wood or stone. This was known as the transenna (plural form: transenne).
The Indian latticework was chiefly featured in many noble and rich peoples’ homes. They often surrounded the verandah or what they refer to as the baramdah. The upper levels of these rich Indian homes overlooked busy streets but they were shielded and given privacy by the latticed screens (some were even made of stone and were known as jalis). The private pools were also kept from the prying eyes of people with these screens.
The ornamental beauty of lattice has been around for thousands of years. They are found not just in India but in other nations throughout the world. The patterns and designs often depict the same visual theme or the style of the homeowner or the culture of that locality.
As mentioned, in India, this is a symbol of wealth. In the Middle East as well as North Africa, the latticework is often used on windows in order to keep the rooms cool. This also provides privacy for the homeowners.
Latticework isn’t just for windows and doors. When you’re feeling up to it, you can also use this as a decorative tool on your skylight or simply laid on the ceiling.
Latticework Divider
Architecture has never been the same after latticework has been introduced to the world of design. The solid, void or transparent doorways became more exciting.
Latticework is a kind of architectural flair. The Taj Mahal in India shows a great amount of latticework. And, come to think of it, the Eiffel Tower is a towering structure of latticework that’s the subject of many photographs for many years.
Even when talking contemporarily, where everyone seems to be embracing the minimalist way of life, people still find beauty and function in the patterns that latticework offers.
Imagine a latticed divider separating the stairs from the rest of the open space layout first story of your home. It can be made of light steel and painted in a contrasting color from the rest of the walls and the stairs.
Latticed Walls
Whether you want to refer to it simply as lattice or the more unfamiliar terms trellage or trelliage, the look offered by these patterns are making a wonderful comeback in recent years.
This décor technique isn’t easy to do. If you intend on making a DIY project with this pattern, well, you’ve got a lot of training to do. If you want to have latticework on your gorgeous walls, then you might have to commission a professional to do it.
A good room to begin in is the powder room where you can use a trellis overlay. This can make the room appear bigger. Try this on a mirrored surface and you can even magnify the space that this design element provides.
The lattice patterns can also be used as a part of a molding. Other uses for lattice include –

Spring is about to say goodbye but we’re just not ready to say goodbye yet. Everything, after all, is still in full bloom and we would want to enjoy the warm breezes and the lovely sunsets some more. You might have been done with your spring cleaning but are you done with your spring redecorating?
Spring redecoration does not have to be a major remodel. You can make easy changes that would brighten up the current season and even welcome the equally warm and bright summer.
Use the Basic Light Sources
If you want your home to look and feel brighter, then you need to find the best spot to begin. Your choice of light makes a huge difference. Of course, you need natural light to pour in during the day but, at night, what would you do?
Remember that the higher the lighting fixture goes, the more that it is going to resemble daylight. This is if you invest in a bulb or lighting fixture that has ample illumination according to the space measurements.
You do not have to limit the ceiling lights. You could set up several recessed lighting on the ceiling and even in cabinets to showcase your collections.
Fewer Window Coverings
Window treatments can surely beautify the home but, at times, they could also block the light that is supposed to make your home look brighter and, therefore, more inviting. Use light-colored, sheer curtains. Have these curtains hung in such a way that you still have a little privacy but also enough to let in ample light and the cool breeze.
If you are used to hanging dark draperies, then swap them for the sheer curtains just for the upcoming season. This is an easy enough task to refresh the look of your home.
Explore the Outdoors
Why not? After all, it’s summer soon so you might as well explore the nature outdoors. Do not remain cooped inside your home. If you have available outdoor space, then utilize it. Set a few chairs in your backyard and enjoy al fresco dining with your family.
You can also leave the living door open between the different rooms. Doing this would result in more light and air in your home.
Use Mirrors
It’s going to be sunny soon so why not use a reflective surface to help illuminate your home? You can strategically place the mirrors so that natural light would become more abundant as it is reflected on the mirror surfaces.
The living room is an inspiring room to set up mirrors. This can become a more sociable spot the moment you add in more light.
Remember that it’s all about the position or the angle of the mirror towards the light. Hang a mirror right across an open window, preferably one that opens to a lovely greenery. The light from this window, as well as the beautiful scenery, will be reflected, making your living room a more cheerful place to be in.
The American Leather Living Room Ainsley-Sectional is a type of linear furniture that you can use to brighten and freshen up your home.
Alter the Furniture
Heavy, ornate pieces just won’t work if you want an airier and brighter surrounding If you want your home to look and feel airier, then you have to let go of these kinds of furniture. Buy a new set that allows more breathing room. Swap the chunky pieces with the ones that have hairpin legs.
Add Plant Life
Spring is the symbol of new life. So what could be more apt in brightening your home than to add some potted plants? Decorate with orchids or even a small tree. Fill those usually boring corners with these interesting live art.

The choice of window treatment for this bedroom is sheer and flowy. You just got to love this King Mansion bed from Fine Furniture Design’s Antebellum Collection.
Window treatments often come last in a homeowner’s design project. Yet they have functions that no other furnishing will be able to replace. Drapes also have a way of tying together a room as their prints and patterns draw the eyes whether to emphasize vertically or horizontally.
But do you know how to begin dressing up your windows?
Now, don’t think of styles or themes for a moment. Remember their function and you will be able to limit your options. If you want drapes, for instance, that provide darkness or privacy, then you will be in need of lined curtains.
If you want to have a little light filtering into the room then you simply need curtains that are decorative and unlined.
Lining comes at a cost but it also comes with greater advantages. This can shield the fabric from being damaged by the sun. Its purpose is to make your curtains last a long time.
The lining is also there to add heft so that you are protected from drafts while having the curtain flow more luxuriously.
There are also curtains with interlining. These are those layers of flannel-like fabrics that are sewn in between the front part of the curtain and the lining itself.
Choosing the Color and Fabric
First, think about the mood that you would want to evoke in the room. If you want a more formal space, then you would need materials like velvet or silk. Both can be dry cleaned.
If you want the washable options because they are more practical, then you can always go for the silky rayon blends as well as the cotton sateen.
For a more casual atmosphere, there are billowy linens and the crushed velvet. Cotton blends and cotton can work with any kind of décor. These can bring a neat look. Wool and wool blends do the same, too.
You now would need to decide if you want the window treatments to blend with the rest of your decorative element or if you would want them to become the center of attention.
If you want to blend, then find curtains that come with the same tone as the walls but just a few shades darker. You can also pick a non-dominant hue which comes from other elements in the room such as an area rug.
Now here’s a simple rule to remember when it comes to patterns and prints – if you have patterned furniture pieces or bedding, then you must go for solid-colored curtains. If, on the other hand, you have solid furniture, then you can choose curtains with interesting patterns such as paisley.
Choosing the Length
The best way to go is to have floor-length curtains. Of course, if a radiator is on the way, you have to consider that, too. There are ready to use panels that come in 63 to 144-inch lengths. Be sure to measure from the floor up to the point where you will hang the rod.
Your curtains can always be hemmed when needed. Remember that short curtains look off or nerdy. For a more classic look, go for curtains that hit the sill or floor.
Panels that reach the floor by 1-3 inches are stylish also. They are more relaxed, though, compared to the traditional floor-length curtains. If your floors are uneven and you’re worried about the accuracy of your measurements, then this style can be more forgiving.
Choosing the Width
The key is to have panels that look filled or ample. The drapes must also be drapey. The combined width should be about 2 to 2.5 times the window’s width. The only exception is when you’re hanging curtains that are there to frame the windows and you have no intentions of shutting them.
If you’re installing pleated panels then consider that they come with built-in fullness so their width should be sufficient to fill the entire span that you intend to cover.

The term bay window is used for any protruding window construct whether or not it stands tall or it comes at a regular height. Common angles are 90, 135 and 150-degrees in polygonal or square shapes. Bay windows are supported by a bracket and a corbel.
Most of the bay windows during the medieval times up to the Baroque period appear highly ornamented. These are often constructed as a part of the building rather than a unique part of it. The Gothic period showed a lot of small home chapels complete with bay windows having an altar at the base. The most famous example of this kind of construct is the St. Sebaldus Church.
The Arab Mashrabiya is an example of a bay window that is made of wood that allows a great view of the outdoors while limiting visibility from the people outside. This is quite similar to the balcony.
Bay windows were also quite popular during the Victorian period. From then on, they have been effectively used to increase the amount of natural light into a home or a building. With ample lighting comes the illusion of a room that appears larger than its actual size so these windows are a welcome idea to people who have smaller homes.
Bay windows are often seen in semis, terraced and detached houses. While they have been based largely on British models, they also became popular in other countries such as Canada, the U.S. and Australia.
The Bay Windows: A Decorative Element
The bay window can either be a welcoming sight or an unsightly one depending on how it is presented. There are some people who have this kind of window in their home but don’t know how what to do with it. The proper presentation of bay windows (also called bow windows) is to picture a home in San Francisco. This is basically Victorian style architecture that can be adopted into any structure.
If you want to optimize the use of this window as a beautiful home feature, then begin by using a window seat. You can place a lovely table in front of this seat which means you’ve just created the perfect setting for intimate family games.
Bay windows may also be used just as long as its height permits banquet-style dining. Use a pedestal table to achieve just this. The window height should leave ample legroom underneath. Make sure to consider the height of the seats as well as the legroom as you install a banquet in a bay window. See also the height of your back cushions.
For a more casual look, the bay window that is located on the first floor of your home can accommodate a banquet right below the window sill. Toss a few colorful pillows and you’re good. Be sure to cover the cushions with washable slipcovers. The fabric should, preferably, be an indoor-outdoor sort of fabric.
Placing desks at a proper angle will also be a beautiful way to use the bay window. The desktop must be at the same or lesser height than the sill. Ascertain that the glare of the sunlight isn’t too much since you will be placing your laptop or desktop computer here. Use window treatments should the glare become intolerable. Wood blinds can help in moderating the sunlight while still allowing a great view of the outside.
If you happen to own a home wherein a radiator is right by the bay window, then don’t fret. You can still make that part of your home be fused to the rest of the design elements. Just use a chair to define that space. Any single, decorative chair would do.
For those who have floor-to-ceiling bay windows, well, you’re in the best of luck. They are the best kind of bay windows to offer an elegant look. Make the most of them by dressing them up in silk or drapery panels, Roman shades, or contemporary valances.

6002CR Gigi Settee 1586-80116-MULTI Aura Round Accent Table with Shell Top: The white, sheer curtains let natural light stream in, making the room appear airier and brighter.
Would you want to boost the look of your home? Most of the time, homeowners look into having walls torn down or painting an entire room but, at times, changing the look in your home is as easy as putting the right window treatments. Be inspired by beautiful drapes, valances, shades and curtains. Experiment also with other kinds of window treatments by learning about other terms such as Roman shades, balloon shade, box-pleat valance, and more.
Did you know that the kind of fabric used in a window treatment is just as crucial as the design of the treatment itself? Window treatments come in all sorts of materials from sheer, to bamboo panels, and silk. They also have different functions though, primarily, they are used to dress up the windows and provide a little (or a lot of) privacy.
Okay, now that you know the basics, your priority is to choose a window treatment that would provide the function that you require. Would you want to have some privacy but still have ample light during the day? Or would you want to have a decent shuteye and have the window treatments drawn while you take a rest?
Semi-Sheer Window Treatments
Family rooms and living rooms almost always require a good amount of privacy. The kind of window treatment that you use also hugely depends on the number of windows that a room has.
Natural light brightens a room during the day so you can make use of a semi-sheer curtain to allow the light into the room. Be sure to choose the thickness of the fabric well. Find one that allows light to pass. If semi-sheer still doesn’t work for you, then find an ultra-sheer one.
Draperies
A bedroom that is situated on the ground floor requires less privacy than the ones upstairs. Both types of bedroom require natural lighting, though. What you need to cover these rooms are draperies. This floor-to-ceiling window treatment offers ample privacy and enough shade if you don’t want the light streaming in.
‘Want some light again? Then just have the draperies drawn and – voila – you can enjoy the sunshine once more.
Use a track for floor-to-ceiling draperies or find a rod that suits the style of your bedroom.
Cellular Shades
A lot of bathrooms, especially the ones on the first floor, require utmost privacy. A cellular shade is a kind of shade that allows anyone to walk around unseen while still allowing a lot of light in. This kind of window treatment is manufactured with a honeycomb design so that heat stays in while the cold stays out.
Roller Shades
This kind of shade can give you the needed privacy from closely-situated neighbors. It is an easy-to-install type of window treatment that comes with perforation so that light is allowed to filter through.
Roller shades can also be hardwired so you can manipulate it using a remote control. This is most useful in hard to reach areas such as when you are in the tub.
Shutters
These are what you would want if you require a complete light block out. This is a window treatment that can blend seamlessly to the creative atmosphere that you have already set up. Have it installed with solid center panels so you can block out light. These will come in handy when your guests require total relaxation even after the sun comes up.
Stained Glass
Having a lot of windows around the front door can be an aesthetic blessing especially when you decide to install stained glass instead. This kind of window treatment will instantly become a focal point while keeping your home free from the prying eyes of passersby.
