How to Decorate a Window Shelf

Windows offer a view to the outside, and you can use a window shelf to add complementary colors to your room décor. Covering the windowsill with a mirror will give the illusion of a bigger space. The outside light will also reflect off the mirror to brighten up a small room. Adding handsome colored flowerpots on a window shelf with flowers or plants creates a cheery atmosphere. The colored pots will reflect into the mirror to double the color.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

4. Add plants to the pots such as herbs or African Violets.

5. Set the potted plants on the window shelf.
