14. Gothic Cathedral Window Frames with Plants
What This Idea Means
Empty timber or iron Gothic window frames mounted on boundary walls act as living picture frames when paired with climbing or hanging plants.
How to Make It
- Frames: Source salvaged pointed window frames or craft custom wooden Gothic window outlines.
- Placement: Hang securely on neutral-colored brick or stone compound walls.
- Greenery: Guide climbing vines through the window tracery or hang small planters within the openings.
Tips & Variations
- Distress white or dark paint on the wooden frame for a classic shabby-chic Gothic finish.
- Insert small shelf brackets at the base to hold small potted succulents or trailing ivy.
