Few people can boast a pleasant view from their balcony or terrace in an urban environment. Most of the time we only see gray blocks or just tall buildings and very little greenery; adding to that the intense traffic, the landscape is not exactly to our liking. What can we do? Here are some practical tips for transforming an unpleasant view.
Smoked glass windows are an option you can use if you are in the middle of a renovation and want to change the perspective of the window view. You will have more privacy without depriving yourself of natural light.
Choose curtain and drapery models as cheerful and colorful as possible to make up for the monotonous landscape outside. An interesting pattern and a pleasant texture will help a lot and will be pleasant accessories for the room.
Plants have magical powers when it comes to beautifying a view. Place flowering plants, plants with intense green, succulents or lush plants, with shapes that dress the window area and sill. When you turn towards the window, your gaze will rest on the indoor mini garden. If possible, you can even place hanging pots.
This idea works even better on a balcony or terrace.
With a little skill, install a trellis on the terrace for climbing plants like jasmine or ivy to spread out. You will beautifully decorate the outdoor area of your home and in addition it will be an effective barrier against pollutants.
If the unpleasant view is caused by neighbors, especially for those who live in houses, then have a sincere conversation with them and even offer to help them clean up what bothers us. Try to reach a consensus so that both parties are satisfied.
