The window is the actual link of your house to the outside world.  There are a million ways to decorate them so you can bring out the personality of your home.  You can use blinds, curtains, draperies, valances or a mix of these window treatments to adorn the outside of your house.  Aside from these, one can also use a flower box and decorate it so it will go with the curtains and blinds.

Decorating our windows is very similar to decorating any place of the house.  You could choose any style that works with you whether it is casual and relaxed or formal and sophisticated.  You have to consider your accessories and accents, the color of your decor, the flowers and the fabric that you need to use and of course visualizing what you want the final output to look like.   Bear in mind that what is important is that you make all your elements work with the theme so that you can avoid over-decorating or making the overall effect look confusing to your guests and passer byes.

Decorative window boxes are one of the most attractive things we can use to add elegance and style to your window design.  Integrating them with curtains and blinds or other window treatments will create a visual statement on both the inside and outside of your house.  You have to make sure however that when you use a flower box it should harmonize with your theme.  If you have a country home or a cottage you might want to use a wooden decorative window box rather than the ones made in wrought-iron because those go best with an Old-World theme.  Match the colors as well with the exterior of your house.  Shades of green, brown and blue are the more popular options because of their earthy colors that create harmony to the outside world.  You can also use bright colors like red, orange and yellow if you want to be more playful and artistic.   Use curtains made of soft cotton or sheer materials to accentuate your flower box.  You can tie the curtains back or slide them to the side of the window so you won’t have a hard time watering the plants.

The flower box does not have to hold flowers alone.  You can add other ornaments to change its theme according to the season or the occasion.  You can add painted eggs or a plastic bunny during spring, a tiny flag during the 4^th of July, miniature pumpkins during autumn and a tiny Christmas tree or a snowman during winter.  The more creative you are the more ways you can make your window look lovelier all year round.
