Window View Posters -- Beautiful Scenes from Open Windows
Ranked #36 in Home & Garden, #715 overall
An Open Window Painting to Brighten Your Day
If you don't have beautiful scenes from your own windows, a window view poster can be the perfect way to bring the scenery you most love right into your home. No matter whether you want the shimmering ocean on a summer's day or the rolling green hills of a rural landscape, take your choice from a range of 'open window' paintings and photos.
Cleverly placed in your home against a similar color background, some of these window view posters can give the impression of a real window, and a real view beyond. Others offer a tantalising glimpse of another place through gauzy drapes lifted by a gentle breeze.
Or alternatively, you can choose a fresco look for a charming effect that will remind you of travels in southern Europe.
Posters that look like windows will lift your spirits, and cheer up your living space. Even in the depths of winter, or in a room that doesn't get much light, you can have the sunshine streaming in with one of these beautiful scenery paintings or photographic prints.

'Island Time' -- Open Window onto a Beautiful Island Scene
Idyllic island painting by Diane Romanello
This tranquil view from an island retreat is framed by a profusion of flowers. Gazing back at the hazy mainland and at the rowing boat by the shore, it makes me feel like I've escaped to my own private sanctuary.
Just the right kind of image to have facing your desk, to inspire your work and perhaps to daydream a little too?
Views onto Paradise
Lynn Fecteau paints open windows with tropical views
Here is the perfect tropical paradise, right outside the window! What delight to have such a view from your home. And with Lynn Fecteau's paintings of island beach scenes beyond the open window, you can imagine that you really do.
Choose your favorite or buy the pair to complement each other in a bedroom or study. These tropical scenes are sure to brighten up any wall. Both have seashells on the windowsill and beautiful tropical blooms spilling into the room. The first is called 'Seashells in the Light', the second is 'Passion and Coconuts' in a reference to the passion flowers and to the coconut palm on the beach beyond.
A Perfect Sea View
Sunlit Ocean View with Gauze Drapes
Alice Dalton Brown paintings of seaside sunlight
It's almost possible to smell the salty sea air and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin as you stand before these gauzy window scenes. For me, these beautiful studies of light truly capture the drowsy, dreamy days of a summer by the sea.
The names of these paintings by Alice Dalton Brown are as evocative as the images. The first is 'Good Day (Light)', the second 'Long Golden Day' and the third is 'Blues Come Through'.
A Seaside Garden
Another beautiful coastal view from Diane Romanello
Pretty much all of us would love a coastal garden like this, where you can sit and watch the changing ocean to the soothing sound of the waves.
This is just the view I would love in my kitchen, or to brighten a small room. It is called 'Bay Window Vista II'.
Saling Boats from a Window
A tranquil ocean scene with orchid, by Zhen-Huan Lu
This calm scene has a touch of Zen about it, don't you think? Someone has laid her reading glasses aside and is perhaps just out of the picture, gazing at the sailing boats as they drift before her. No doubt a cat will soon come and claim that patch of sun.
A lovely poster for anywhere that needs a little more serenity, whether a bedroom, study or living area. The title of this one is quite simply 'Orchid'.
Sea Breeze Posters
Carol Saxe captures a gentle ocean breeze
These sunny paintings invite you to step right in and admire that sea view! Instant memories of seaside vacations, waking up to another beautiful day and letting the breeze caress your skin.
Perfect scenes for a bedroom. If only every day we could wake to such a sight! The posters are named 'Sea Breeze I' and 'Sea Breeze II'.
Sunset Scenes
Sunset Images through an Open Window
Two sunset beach scenes by Diane Romanello
Diane Romanello's open windows show a dream view beyond. These sunset scenes might just transport you to the land of your imagination as you imagine your bare feet upon the soft, fine sand and a loved one at your side. In the distance, the setting sun has painted the sky in glorious colors and the beach is bathed in golden light.
The warmth of these open window paintings makes them ideal for a room with richer, warmer decor. The top poster is titled 'Sunset Beach' and the lower one is 'Window of Dreams'.

A Room With a View
By E.M. Forster
"It was pleasant... to fling wide
the windows, pinching the fingers
in unfamiliar fastenings, to lean out
into sunshine with beautiful hills
and trees and marble churches
opposite, and, close below,
the Arno, gurgling against the
embankment of the road."

Italian Style Posters
Italian Fresco style window paintings
The Good Life, With a View (I and II) by Franz Heigl
A pair of fresco-style paintings that look like they might have come straight from a Tuscan villa. Bright Mediterranean blues and yellows in one showing a typical Italian coastal scene; warm, sepia hues in the other with a traditional Italian country scene. Choose the one that suits your decor or display them together.
The lemon tree in the foreground make these window views a perfect choice for a kitchen or garden room. Appropriately enough, this series is called 'The Good Life, With a View' in reference to the Italian expression la dolce vita.
Ode to the Lemon
by Pablo Neruda, first verse
From blossoms
released
by the moonlight,
from an
aroma of exasperated
love,
steeped in fragrance,
yellowness
drifted from the lemon tree,
and from its plantarium
lemons descended to the earth.

Tuscan Hill Town on Summers Day
An view from an open window of Italian hill town Montecatini
This vibrant painting continues the open window with a view theme. Here, the window opens onto a scene of a Tuscan landscape with the hill town of Montecatini in the distance.
With such a view as this, it would be difficult to do any work at all. Like the person who lives with this view, I think my book too would lie open, unread, as I watched the world go by on a summer's day. It is titled 'Montecatini View' and is by Dante Lorenzo.

Window View Photographic Posters
These open windows frame a variety of beautiful natural scenes
These photographic posters offer you a wonderful dilemma: which of these beautiful scenes of natural beauty will you choose as your perfect window view?
You are spoiled for choice with the stunning Matterhorn mountain in the Alps of Europe, a tropical beach, a glorious garden view with the sun streaming through the trees, and a green and pleasant countryside scene.
These photographic posters have a white window frame on a white wall, and could blend into your existing decor to look like a real window! Try putting up a curtain pole hung with gauzy drapes to frame the edges of the poster to complete the effect.
Photo Wall Mural of Morocco
A photographic poster of a Moroccan scene through ornate iron grille
This last window view is a departure from those above. However, I had to include it. Indeed, this magnificent wall mural of a Moroccan scene viewed from a grille is certainly an open window with a difference!
Full-size wall murals are a wonderful way to change the entire look of a room and to invite others into a world of natural beauty. It gives a totally new meaning to the concept of armchair travel!
