“Every now and then joy // throws pebbles against my window // wants to let me know it’s there waiting // but I feel calm // I’d almost say equanimous // I go to keep the anguish in a hiding place // and then to lie face to the ceiling // which is a gallant and comfortable position…”
We remember these verses by Mario Benedetti to tell you about dreamy spaces by the windows. If you can take advantage of charming panoramic views and natural light to create a unique corner in your home, don’t think twice. The results can be surprising. No matter where: the bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room… any area of the house with a window – no matter how small – can become magical. To help you inspire your own muses, we offer you some easy tips.
Conveys peace and comfort
Use white as a base, as this color not only transmits peace, but also enhances luminosity. Avoid having too many decorative elements in this space, following the maxim “less is more”. With this idea, use little furniture and not too high, if possible, so as not to detract from the view of the space.
Sometimes, the size of the window and its layout allow the window sill itself or its surroundings to be converted into a comfortable chill out space. To achieve this, custom-made cushions and upholstery will be necessary, as well as cushions and pillows, so that comfort is tangible, inviting you to relax comfortably.
Generally speaking, the chill out & lounge styles will help you to raise comfort to the highest level. In Fiaka Ambient you can find a wide catalog to design environments of both aesthetics.
Accessories and textiles
Add a cheerful touch to the basic white with textiles and accessories in bright colors, prints, stripes or geometric patterns. The possibilities are endless: a carpet, a small curtain, cushions and upholstery…
An inspiring touch
While looking outside can be inspiring in and of itself-especially if the unique views all around are breathtaking-an ordinary window and exterior can also be enchanting with the right ornamentation.
To achieve this, a few flowers that give a touch of life and color, a piece that adds personality or a piece of furniture that transmits: an armchair with charm, a chest, a classic design -in the images we see the BKF chair, among others- or a pouf on the floor, big or small, depending on the space…
To end the post, we will talk about the element that should not be missing next to the window: books! Whether on a shelf or stacked on the floor. Isn’t it an ideal place to enjoy reading? I’m sure that inspiration will be joined by imagination and fantasy 😉
