25 Inspiring Outdoor Window Treatments

Exterior Window Treaments to DIY

Exterior window treaments like shutters, window boxes, and awnings add curb appeal and beauty to your home! Try these, and see more ideas on the previous page. 

Window Boxes

Window boxes are easy to build yourself and add both character and color when you fill them with beautiful flowers! I shared a few links to tutorials above, and here are some of my favorite less-than-boxy window boxes. Having separate flower pots makes it easy to bring your blooms inside and help them flourish year-round!

Window Grills

Window grills can add security without looking like prison bars. Just look at these beautiful window grills I found:

Non-Traditional Window Treatments

And then there are always a few features that I find that just don’t fit the other categories. Creativity knows no bounds!

I love this horizontal mounted shutter style window covering:

And can you imagine having the whole wall of windows open up so you can walk outside? Awesome for parties!

Seasonal Outdoor Window Decor

What to do with those window boxes when the flowers fade? Add some holiday decor!

Use fall flowers and pumpkins like Hoosier Homemade and Six in the Suburbs did…

And swap it out for winter-style greenery or pinecones for the holidays.

What kind of outdoor window treatment do you have on your home? I love our shutters, but my (new) windows could sure use a good cleaning before winter hits (like DIY Divas teach here)… How about yours?

  1. Great round-up!! I’m loving the window boxes…especially the red one. My house is gray/white with a red door. I think the red window boxes would look fantastic on my little house. Thanks for the great ideas!!
