Simple Ways to Hide a Bad Window View

Sometimes, a wonderful set of sliding patio doors is just not enough to compensate for an unpleasant view. On top of that, no matter how much homeowners try, they cannot control what appears outside of their windows.

There are ways you can improve an unsightly view. In the end, all homeowners deserve to see a terrific and fresh sight all from the comforts of their owns houses.

Use Barriers

The simplest way to eliminate a bad view is to put up a barrier. Now, you can get creative with this one. For starters, use plants. A big vase of a monstera indoor plant can distract you from looking outside the windows. With its big and detailed leaves, this green addition will surely freshen up the scene. Hanging plants and other potted plants like Snake plants, English Ivy and Pothos are good additions, too.

Another way to create a barrier is by using curtains. Sheer curtains, for instance, can hide the sight outside without blocking the sunlight in your room. 

Re-arrange Your Things

If you do not feel like planting and hanging curtains, you can simply make use of the things you currently have.

Start by putting a console table against your window and placing picture frames. With a table full of memories, you can simply reminisce instead of looking outside. Furthermore, you can also put up a big mirror beside your window to create an illusion and redirect the attention to a more pleasant one.

Add Decor

Since we are being artistic, why not add some ornaments and striking mobiles over the window? Big and colorful dream catchers will surely add a bohemian look to your space. Moreover, you can create a macramé mobile that can compliment your beautiful French doors.

With these simple ways, you can now enjoy staying at home and admiring your view. To complete the experience, turn to Renewal by AndersenⓇ of St. Louis for top tier windows and doors.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
