How to join a street party – without leaving your home

It’s summer and open-air celebrations light up the city streets. But what if you can’t join? Let the party come to you. Take part in the festivities at a distance, and let the mood spread into your home.

Invite sounds, lights and sights

From the right vantage point, someone else’s celebration can lift your own day – even if you’re not there in person. Simply open a window and let the music and cheer flow in.

A front-row seat at the festival

Take your pick of drink and snacks, a makeshift seat and set up a station by the window (a window catch for safety doesn’t hurt). Now you can follow outside events without moving an inch.

Your bubble by the window

A deep window sill isn’t just a great spot for taking in the view. With a set of thick curtains, it becomes a cosy corner for pensive pauses. Simply close the curtains when you want some peaceful seclusion.
