Not all homes have the luxury of having spectacular outdoor views. Unless your home is situated on an elevated area overlooking a picturesque cityscape or landscape, you are bound to get a view of your street, lawn and your neighbor’s fence from your windows. Fortunately, there are ways to improve a not-so-great view.
Utilize Adjustable Window Treatments
One way to cover an annoying detail of a view coming from your window is to use adjustable treatments like Roman shades and blinds. For instance, you can keep the sky in full view and then block a specific detail of your outdoors that you think is an eyesore like your neighbor’s dilapidated home exterior.
Add Visual Interests to Your Outdoor View
If you are sharing a plain backyard fence with a neighbor, and it is seen from your windows, you can consider making it visually interesting by planting shrubs and other greenery near it. A bit of landscaping can do wonders for your yard, not to mention your views from the replacement windows in your kitchen or dining area.
Apply Open Shelving
Open shelving across your kitchen window helps create a distraction from the outdoor view. Apart from storing kitchen items, this type of shelf allows you to display jars, potted plants and other decorative features that go well with the style of the entire space. It can be installed without hindering the window’s operation or damaging the frames.
