DECORATE YOUR GARAGE WITH A FALSE WINDOW

When you want to add pizzazz to a boring, blank garage wall or shed, build a false window frame.

Window frames can be purchased inexpensively at junkyards. Have a mirror cut to fit the opening and install it within the frame. Add pop-in muntins if necessary.

Hang the window frame on your garage, add shutters and a pretty window box, then paint to match your home’s trim color. Fill the window box with your favorite flowers, and your boring garage or shed is now an elegant, eye-catching structure that really adds to your home's appeal.

For a rustic look, use unfinished wood or remove paint from your second-hand window frame.

If you're not handy or simply don't have the time for another project, you can purchase a faux window and hang it on your garage or shed wall.

Easily install a window where there is none, or make up for a less-than-desirable view. This rustic cabin scene faux window looks out on a lovely lake. Other faux window scenes include Provence Faux Window, Beachscape Palladium Faux Window, Seascape Faux Window, and Lake Scene Octagonal Faux Window.
