The holidays are coming and there’s no better way to welcome them than with festive decorations. Windows are a great area to start because not only you get to enjoy them, but you can spread holiday cheer to everyone who passes by your home. Here are a few festive holiday window decorating ideas to get your home in the holiday spirit. Pick your favorite:
Snowflake Wonderland
Create a snowy scene by cutting out paper snowflakes from white paper. You can Scotch tape them to the window or hang them with fishing wire or white thread to suspend them at different heights for a floating effect. You can even create several layers.
Twinkling Lights
String white or colorful fairy lights around the window frame. You can also hang them in a curtain-like formation across the window for a magical glow. Add candles on the window sill if your window allows. If you have young children or pets, use flameless candles for safety.
Window Decals
Apply holiday-themed decals like snowflakes, reindeer, or Santa Claus. These are easy to apply and remove, making them a low-maintenance option and great for little kids. These work well on storm doors too.
Ornament Display
Hang ornaments from the top of the window using ribbon or string. Mix different shapes, sizes, and colors for a cheerful display.
Garland and Wreaths
Frame your window with a lush garland, adding ornaments, berries, and pinecones for extra texture. A small wreath can be centered in the middle of the window for a classic look.
Candlelit Windows
Place electric candles or lanterns on the windowsill to give off a warm, welcoming glow. Flameless candles with timers are a safe and convenient option.
Gift Box Windows
Create the illusion of stacked gift boxes by wrapping cardboard boxes in festive paper and placing them at different heights in the window. Add ribbons and bows for extra detail.
Mischievous Elves
Take that elf off the shelf and give him some friends. There are endless ways you can decorate with elves. Add a swing, some ornaments, and any other props you like. If it’s a kitchen window, add miniature rolling pins, bowls, and whisks. Maybe they are stealing candy canes. The kids can help too!
Windowsill Scene
Create a windowsill scene. From a frosty snowman village to a woodland wonderland with lanterns and pinecones, to a candles and shiny ornaments, your imagination is s the limit.
Don’t Forget the Curtains!
Don’t forget, you can dress up your curtains too. Use holiday-themed tiebacks like large bows, mini wreaths, or poinsettia flowers to dress up your existing curtains, or swap out your regular curtains for ones in holiday colors or patterns. These holiday window decorating ideas can help turn your windows into a holiday focal point, adding cheer both inside and outside your home. Happy holidays from your friends at All-Weather Window, Doors & Siding. Stay snug this winter season!
