Christmas Window Decoration Ideas

With summer now a distant memory, it is time to embrace the colder seasons and revel in getting wrapped up and warm, kicking crunchy brown and golden autumnal leaves, and most importantly, getting excited about Christmas and the festive season!
As December gets closer, many people will be figuring out their festive decor for Christmas, if you haven’t already replaced Halloween with Christmas decor, that is! Have you considered how to dress your windows for Christmas yet?
We have a look at some simple ideas on how to dress your windows for Christmas.
Themed
If ‘Christmas’ is not enough of a theme already, then you can narrow your decor focus to something particularly, whether that’s a rustic feel, or building your theme on a festive colour, such as green or red.
Whatever you decide, extend your decorations to your windows. Not only will they match the decor elsewhere in the room. But they will reflect the light and create a lovely, warming feel to the room.
If you are thinking about a more rustic theme, why not buy a small wooden basket and decorate it with fir branches, fir cones and stars made from wood or old wire.
Lighting
Few things are as inviting as twirling lights at the window, from traditional strings of fairy lights to cascading stars like a waterfall. Battery-operated candle-style lights look great, as well as being safer near wooden window blinds and curtains than real candles.
Traditional
Maybe you want to be traditional with your decor, and the window is the ideal place to site a cavity scene, typically consisting of a stable, baby Jesus in the manger, Mary, Joseph, and everyone! Hang a star above the scene, and illuminate with fairy lights.
Simple but elegant
Not everyone wants to go over-the-top with their Christmas decor, and sometimes keeping things minimal can maximise the effect. Try hanging a traditional wreath on your window shutters, and use a can of artificial snow around the corners of your windows, with a few stencilled snowflakes on the glass.
