A Number Of Ways On How To Redecorate Sliding Sash Windows

By Chris Caldwell


A window is one of the extremely crucial and conspicuous features in every home. For a home to be judged as beautiful, the windows must be attractive. Here, are a few tips on how to redecorate sliding sash windows. These fixtures were made a long time ago, and they were made of wood and aluminum that was used to hold the glass panes intact.

Most people prefer to replace these fixtures, but also adding there are a few ways that can be used to redecorate these fixtures and make them more appealing. The first way that can be used to add decorations is by adding window treatments. A simple window treatment brings new looks into the old fixtures.

The treatments are usually of various categories and the kind of treatment used largely depends on the home style. One of these treatments is by installing a valance. This is a simple piece of fabric that is usually draped over the windows.

Drapes and curtains may also be used to modernize the appearance of windows and the house in general. What the curtains simply do is to hide these fixtures so that someone who is inside will not have the full view of the fixture. The drapes should always be long enough to reach the bottom edge of the window.

If the window is located in the living room or in the bedroom, it is okay to have curtains that just barely sweep the floor. Curtain tiebacks may be used to keep the curtains pulled back during the day. The second way that may be used to make the fixture look better is by replacing the hardware.

The second method that can be used to make these fixtures look glamorous is by replacing some parts of the hardware. These parts are composed of the blinds, locks and curtain rods. The blinds and the frame used to hold the blinds should be removed and replaced with the modest style vinyl, wood or fabric.

The curtain rods used should be those that have nice finials. They give the house a more modern look. The finial can be put at either edge of the curtain rod. Painting of these fixtures is also one of the most used ways on how to redecorate sliding sash windows.
