If you are like me, the window over the kitchen sink is one of the least decorated locations of the kitchen. Possibly you have some plants there, or pottery. But, have you ever truly looked at the space and thought of performing a kitchen window makeover?

To help you makeover that neglected kitchen window, here are some easy tips which will take you less than one hour.

There are typically 3 parts to the window area which you can makeover. Those are the walls and counters, the window itself, as well as the cabinets and headers surrounding the window.

The walls around the window along with the sink counter region are perfect locations to add small details which will enhance your overall decor.

If you have some additional wall space, add little photos that complement the other artwork in your kitchen area. You could also add small tiles, or wallpaper cut outs and borders. The trick here is to make them small enough that they don’t overwhelm the space.

For the counter location, baskets, pottery, and plants function nicely. Should you use this location to store sink stoppers as well as other small items, placing them in baskets will hide the clutter. Add other coordinating baskets to the rest of the kitchen location, and your decor will all blend perfectly. When you use pottery or plants, match your existing decor. That will carry the look through your entire space, as opposed to leaving the sink and window area out.

Now let’s move on to the actual window. Today, there are many new products obtainable to alter and enhance your window. You are able to get plastic cling for your windows, which can change the color, or make it look like stained or frosted glass. These are also available as cutouts. This sort of item is easy to install, and can alter your window to better suit your decor.

If you like sun catchers, purchase sets of coordinating sun catchers and hang them on the window with plastic hooks. There are also sun catchers that you mount to the window frame, which can add a pleasing touch.

The final component of your window to look at would be the cabinets and window headers. If your cabinets are close to the window, you’ll be able to add decorative hooks, tiles, wallpaper, even photos to the sides of the cabinets. Just be sure to use the correct size nail or screw so you cannot see the end inside the cabinet.

Window headers could either be wood, and connect the cabinets, or be in the form of curtains or valances. If your window is enclosed with cabinets and a wooden header, you may add fabric to the header to simulate a curtain valance. This wooden header is also a great location to add hooks and hang wind chimes or sun catchers.

Should you already have curtains, altering the curtains is among the easiest methods to update your kitchen decor. For a quick update, include a beaded trim to the bottom of the curtains, iron on some fun appliqués, or add a sheer panel.

No matter what type of kitchen window you might have, adding new decorative elements is a superb way for you to update your kitchen.
