We aren’t all fortunate enough to have a spectacular view from our windows. Instead of a beautiful city skyline or peaceful forest, you may be confronted with an unwelcome view into someone’s apartment through their window, a drab and uninteresting brown plain fence, or visions of neighbourhood cats using your side yard as a litter box. Allow the light in and take control of your perspective instead of closing the blinds and drawing the curtains. You don’t have to physically move your house to improve your view; all you have to do is get inventive.

What’s the real secret to completely upgrading your home’s views? Choosing the ideal combination of elements that will work for you from the list below. Some of these ideas will work on their own, but others will be more effective when combined with others. You might discover that implementing one of the concepts on the upper half of a window and another on the lower half will suffice. Consider all of the suggestions below and pick the one that appears to be the best fit for you!

Stained glass

You don’t have to transform your home into a mediaeval church, but a few well-placed stained glass patterns — whether classic or contemporary — can increase your view by being magnificent and partially obscuring an unpleasant sight.

DIY Glass Film

It’s been around for a while, but it’s still a terrific option for a clean, modern, easy approach to let light in while concealing an unfavourable perspective (not to mention gaining some privacy). By attempting a unique project, you can bring this appearance up to date for more modern times!

Flowers On Plants On Windows

To obscure a view you don’t like, go natural and use a variety of gorgeous living creatures. You can either plant on your window sill (though be sure to protect the wood from leaking pots if you do), or you can build an additional ledge or box. Alternatively, a small table positioned in front of the window might be used to create a nice little garden.
