How to Make Your Window Look BIGGER
4 Materials
Updating the window treatments was an easy project that made a big difference, and we have tips so you too can make the windows in your home appear larger.
TIP : Go with a Bamboo & Hang it
We are big bamboo fans, and love the texture and warmth these shades can bring to a room. You can find shades like this at Lowe’s and have them cut down to the right width for your windows (however they do not change the length, but you can change that with this DIY trick.)
You’ll want to first figure out if you need an inside mount or an outside mount for your windows. In this instance, we needed an outside mount and we decided to hang them a couple of inches above the window trim. This is a great trick to make your windows look taller, and no one will even be able to tell that your window doesn’t actually start until a few inches below the top of the shade. Sneaky.
