6 CLEVER AND STYLISH IDEAS FOR MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR WINDOWS

- NICKY PHILLIPS

CLOSE FIT Use the made to measure service that many companies offer, to achieve the perfect fit for your film

Apply patterned window film

Self-adhesive film is easy to use and instantly injects personality into a room; it also allows full control over the amount of sunlight you let in, without having to shut away the outside completely.

Give it a twist...

Be brave and go all out with a brightly coloured decorative glass effect, or try a fun slogan.

FINISH LINE Choose the right paint for your frame. You can paint plastic frames just as easily as wooden ones, just choose the correct finish

Paint the frame black

Make the view really pop by painting just the frame of the window jet black. This draws your eye outside and adds a modern vibe to a neutral room.

Give it a twist...

Don't stop at the inner frame, think about painting the architrave all around the window too, for some serious drama.
