Meg Garrod, known for her 'pastel colourful home' and 'dopamine decor', has given her cottagecore kitchen back door its 'prettiest upgrade' for less than £20. The floral window film not only adds a whimsical touch but also blocks heat and casts rainbow light across the room.
A Quick and Easy Transformation
Meg had a lilac stable door in her kitchen for four years and wanted to enhance it without a costly or time-consuming project. She discovered a floral window film that she applied in just 15 minutes, using only a spray bottle of water. She shared the result on her account @dreamydormer, saying she 'couldn't resist' giving her door 'one more whimsical upgrade'.
'Somehow I've made it even prettier by adding this floral window film that creates a rainbow light around my whole kitchen,' Meg gushed. She admitted she didn't know how she 'hadn't thought of this sooner,' given how spectacular it looked, while also serving a practical purpose.
Practical Benefits and Cost
'This room gets so hot from the sun in the afternoon, so this helps to block a little bit of that heat and creates those beautiful rainbows,' she shared. The film is available from £11.99 on Amazon, with various floral designs. The product description notes it can 'create the visual effect of stained glass, and add more beauty to the window and glass doors'.
Meg captioned a photo of her door: 'Window film, because yes, even your windows can be colourful and bring you joy!' She concluded, 'for under £20, this is the prettiest upgrade'.
How to Install the Window Film
For those inspired to try it, the installation steps are straightforward:
- Make sure that the windows are completely clean.
- Measure and cut the film to the size that you actually need to cover the windows in question.
- Remove the backing film from the colourful side.
- Spray lots of water onto the window.
- Stick the colourful part of the film to the window.
- Remove the excess water and air from top to bottom with a scraper, or the window film will likely fall off and leave you at square one.
- Dry the window and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
