Try These Autumn Window Box Ideas to Make the Most of the Season

One of the best ways to enhance the appearance of your Elk Grove Village home is by changing your outdoor décor seasonally. Creating an autumn-themed window box is a great way to usher in fall, and will easily complement whatever siding options your home has.

Add Seasonal Color

There are plenty of flowers that are perfectly suited to the cooler temperatures autumn brings. Mums are a tried-and-true favorite, but you can also include flowering kale, snapdragons and pansies, as well. In fact, you may want to mix and match different flowers in order to add as much color as possible, particularly if your siding options are light-toned or neutral.

Include Dried Flowers

Your colorful flowers can make the perfect centerpiece for a few dried flowers such as goldenrod, larkspur or black-eyed Susan. Doing so will allow you to hold onto a bit of summer as long as possible, and is the perfect choice for early fall when the days are still fairly long.

Seasonal Harvest

Of course, nothing says autumn quite like pumpkins, gourds, and Indian corn do. As such, you may want to include a few of these seasonal goodies in your window box as well, particularly if your Elk Grove Village home contains rustic siding options. Slip in a few colored leaves and a pine cone or two, and you have the perfect window box to greet your Thanksgiving guests with.

Add some Greenery

An excellent way to show off fall’s splendid color palette is by adding a backdrop of greenery. Try adding a few ferns or ornamental cabbages to your window box, and then sprinkling in orange pumpkins or red mums. If you’re worried an early frost will harm your green specimens, consider using artificial plants or even strands of ivy to create the perfect accents.

Here at Adams Roofing Professionals, these are just a few of the autumn window box ideas we could come up with. Try to incorporate one or two of these ideas into your own Elk Grove Village home décor, and see for yourself how festive the season really can be.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
