How to Enjoy Having Your Windows

Windows play an important role in your home in that they let in the light and that way ensure that you can see.
Without windows you would just have four claustrophobic walls and no way of seeing either in or out and it would feel particularly homely.
Of course windows also let light while providing insulation against the cold and noise with these features further helping to keep your home liveable.
But windows aren't just practical elements for your home - they can also be used actively for a range of activities.
If you know how to enjoy your windows you can actually get a lot more out of them.
Here we will look at some of the ways you can do that.
Listening to the Rain If ever you buy a relaxation CD you are liable to find that rain sound effects feature rather prominently.
This is because the sound of rain is such a relaxing one and so calming.
If you have a window, or better yet a skylight, then you should seize the opportunity when it rains to sit by it, close your eyes and just listen to the pattering sound.
Looking At the Stars There are few of us who don't enjoy looking up at the stars and reflecting on the vastness of the universe or just enjoying their beauty.
Again if you have a skylight this can help make looking up at the stars all the more relaxing as you can lie back on your bed as you do, but otherwise just sitting by the window and looking out can provide a great way to get some quiet reflective time.
If you want to take this even further then you can look into getting a telescope too so that you can really examine the stars and planets - exploring the craters of the moon and the rings of Saturn.
While this won't work as well out of the window (you have a smaller viewing angle and reflections to contend with) you can still get some amazing sights from indoors and not have to go out in the cold.
People Watching Most people want a view of nature from their window if they get to choose and as such you might be disappointed to instead get one of the street.
However this has its benefits as well - particularly in that you'll be able to watch the world go by and enjoy seeing all the different people who pass by your window going about their daily lives.
For any amateur psychologists, or generally nosey types, this can be a great source of interest.
Bird Watching If you do have a view of nature from your window though, or just a nice garden, then you can also use your window for watching the local wildlife whether that means birds, squirrels or hedgehogs.
Just set up some feed then sit by your window and wait.
Catch Your window can also be a great place to play games and add a unique spin to the usual game of catch.
Get one person to stand outside and another to sit indoors, and then you can throw a soft ball to each other through the open window.
