Classics and shabby chic
"Shabby chic" translates to "shabby shine". Look at the walls of your home. If you notice that the paint has worn off in places, this style will suit you. Hang a blue window box outside the window, plant pansies and topiary in it - and you will see how your window will look in a new way.
Matching the colors
If you want to plant flowers in the same range - pink, purple, crimson - choose a container that will emphasize this beautiful shade. For example, lilac will look very harmonious. By the way, you can do it yourself, say, assemble a box from small slats that looks like a fence and paint it in a suitable color.
Combination of green, black and white
Black and white are classics and always look flawless. But it will be even more stylish if you add green. For example, a black window box, in which plants with bright greenery and white flowers, are planted well against the white walls of the house.
Shutters decorated with flowers
If your windows are complemented by shutters, you can come up with very original decor items. For example, attach longitudinal wire baskets to the shutters, in which to put containers with flowers. Ideal if they are stylized as old ceramics.
Add volume
If your containers are inconspicuous and will not attract admiring glances, create a voluminous floral arrangement. To do this, select plants of different heights and plant them in several rows. This technique will give a sense of depth.
Flower rainbow
Choose plants of the same species, but in different shades, and plant them in a window box. Make sure that the transitions from one color to another are as smooth as possible. This is a very effective way to decorate a windowsill.
Attractive contrast
Designers love to combine contrasting colors when it is necessary to draw attention to an object or place. This technique always works. Try it yourself. Pick a box in a color that contrasts with the color of the walls, and plant bright flowers there.
Unusual solution
If ordinary containers seem too boring for you, this option is for you. Take an old wicker basket, paint it in your favorite color, secure it under the window and plant the petunias there. It will give your home a charming and naive rustic touch.
Beauty in two tiers
Your window is small, but you want to plant as many flowers as possible? There is also a way out of this situation. You can hang a flowerpot under the window, and put a pot on the outside of the window sill. Thus, the plants will be arranged in two levels.
Flower cloud
Ampelous plants look very advantageous on the windows. They are not only very beautiful, but also allow you to hide a not very beautiful container. In addition, it seems that there is no container, and the flowers grow right on the facade.
Mosaic containers
Let's take the opposite situation - the window box is so beautiful that you don't want to cover it with flowers at all. Containers decorated with mosaics look great. In this case, you should not plant very bright plants, they will distract attention to themselves. Better to plant mint, lavender, sage or German chamomile.
Lace patterns
There are many ways to add charm to flower boxes. For example, you can drill holes in it along the contour of the pattern and attach decorative elements. Wax the cord you will be tying in advance so that it is minimally affected by the weather.Then plant the plants in it. Such a composition will add austerity to the interior.
In harmony with nature
There are a lot of options for decorating containers. Eco-style can be chosen. For example, attach birch bark to an ordinary box using epoxy resin. You will get a very original product that will decorate your windows.
It is difficult to overdo it with flowers. Even if you have a lot of flower beds, it is still worth trying to apply floral decorations to the walls of the house. You can also design a gazebo and a porch in this way.
