What to make of old window frames in the country: original ideas for use
There are fewer and fewer wooden window frames in houses - they are being replaced by plastic double-glazed windows, and old painted frames are increasingly leaving for landfills than for summer cottages. Meanwhile, they can make wonderful blanks for utilitarian or decorative interior items.
The most common way to use frames in the country is to build a greenhouse. The finished frame, especially already glazed, is assembled as a children's designer from blocks.
And if you approach the creation of the greenhouse creatively, you get a small fabulous house - airy and elegant.
An old window can be turned into a stained-glass window or serve as a decorative design for a shelf for flowers and household utensils.
The window may remain a window, but at the same time decorative. The facade of the building with such windows looks very unusual. They will not add light to the house, but they will diversify the exterior of what is called “cheers”.
From the old windows you can even make a gate or a small canopy for it.
Compositions of frames of different sizes will serve more as an art object than a functional device. But how much comfort and romance they will add to their summer cottage.
A frame can remain a frame. But not for glass, but now for the mirror.
If you compose a frame and an unnecessary box, you can get a very unusual table.
From old frames, you can even assemble a whole wall for a country house.
Windows are always a symbol of the discovery of something new. Do not rush to get rid of them. Old frames can decorate the interior of a house, or they can become a deep source of philosophical understanding of life. Carry a purely utilitarian function or be a wonderful art object.
