How would you decorate a small basement window that looks out to a metal window well?
Silk plants and some decorative rocks in the window well, sort of the Japanese look. Paint the metal some colour you like. Black would be dark but set off the plants nicely, or perhaps a tan or green colour would be nice. A piece of mirror behind the plants would look really cool and give depth. Stained glass supply places and some glass shops have all kinds of very cool mirror, different colours and patterns. Maybe a piece of stained glass in front of the window. You can also buy ‘stained glass’ plastic stuff which applies to a window, at Home Depot.
