If you’re in the middle of a home renovation project, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel and a world where your microwave isn’t balancing precariously on a chair in your living room.
Take a break from picking paint colors, choosing finishes and living in a construction zone. Check out these seven beautiful windows we found from around the world and get a little inspiration for your home.
1. First up, check out this fun bistro window in Poland. While it’s probably not a look you’d like for home use, local restauranteurs should take note of this unique way to display a menu and add a bit of personality to your to-go window. (photo via Roman Emin)
2. If we’re being perfectly honest, what makes this window in Northern Ireland so awesome is the view. But the rough board trim adds a rustic look that would be perfect in a cabin or shabby chic home. (photo via Tony Bowden)
3. These blue shutters pop against this building in Malaysia, which almost looks like it was painted with watercolors. The pairing is a good reminder of the importance of finding a strong color scheme for your shutters and siding. (photo via Gavin Firkser)
4. We love the thick casing and fun pop of color on this window in Australia. The eggplant would pair well with a neutral siding color such as beige or gray. (photo via Jocelyn Kinghorn)
5. These ornate windows from Spain were just too beautiful not to share. The thick, white plaster casings pop against the building’s intricate pattern. While it might be a bit too busy for the average home, we would really enjoy drinking our morning coffee on that Juliette balcony. (photo via Jocelyn Kinghorn)
6. This home in Slovenia is overflowing with old-world charm. The window combines both form and function with the wooden shutters and beam. We’re in love with the deep-set windows that have just enough space to house some herbs and flowers. (photo via Arun Katiyar)
