3. Entertain Your Window
When it comes to decoration, you should use your limit wisely. Because whenever you decorate too much, the focus will be divided to too many parts. Like having one rug in your living room, you should add small additions to your window and curtains. First off, your curtains should not completely block the sun; otherwise, your living room will look in despair. Try window decorations and natural colored damask curtains on top of your creamy transparent curtain. The picture on the right is a great example of how you can decorate your window: Transparent curtain, damask window curtain, and a small decorative jewel. You should be careful while you choose your colors as it should enhance your living room’s color, not absorb it.
