For years I would write the editor of a specific interior design magazine asking why they would show beautiful interiors with terrible views out the windows. No reply, ever.
.
However, the month arrived when that magazine had every interior photograph edited/photoshopped to its exterior views with a brightness as if a glare of a beautiful garden, all the ugly views, poof/gone. And, the magazine has continued editing exterior views for years. Nice story, yes?
.
This, below, is not that magazine.
.
Great interior, yet a bifurcation of decorating styles, life choices, from inside to outside.
.
What to do?
Quick thought, without seeing the rest of the home's interior, stain the deck a shade, or 2, darker than the walls, above.
.
Poof, interior/exterior no longer bifurcated.
.
Another solution, add a shutter to lower half of the window, leaving only vistas of sky, trees, birds...
.
Money is no issue solution? Enlarge the deck, choose a new rail, stain same color as walls, turn window, above, into French doors, fix a drink, put a new album on the turn table, enjoy.

You are absolutely right!! It is so important!!!
Maybe we should try to decorate the inside of our homes with regard for how in sync the rooms will be with the outside. Perhaps a shift to decorating with more of a big picture of our entire home in mind, inside and out.
I have to admit it - I had to look up 'bifurcated'!
I have a similar situation - now I know the easiest is to just stand the handrails a darker color!
Thanks!!!

I DO LIKE ALL YOUR IDEAS.........ESPECIALLY the SHUTTER!
It's terrible inside and out.
Sherieboberry..
It maybe that the lack of "symbiosis" is the reason you say that......I think the inside is divine......not terrible at all!!!!
It is the lack of connectedness between the two that makes them both look really bad!!!
In my view; it is anything BUT terrible! Take another look! also see my website...
