8 Beautiful Ways to Decorate Your House in Christmas

Christmas decorations are a favorite of many people. To set the mood, place a traditional Christmas tree in the living room, string lights along the walkway, and hang stockings by the fireplace. There is one area of the home that is often overlooked: the windows. Your home's front door is the first place visitors see when they arrive, so it's important to greet them with a welcoming display. If your windows are not in a great condition, go for windows replacement this Christmas. For the holidays, here are eight suggestions for adorning your wooden windows.

1. Lights

Curtain lights give your wood windows a magical glow. Window displays benefit greatly from the use of icicle lights. Consider using lights in the shape of stars or snowflakes to give your home a truly festive feel. For a quick and simple decoration, you can even use traditional string lights to outline the window frame. Use white or multicolored lights to find what you need.

2. Snowflakes Made Out Of Paper

Make it a family affair! Snowflake patterns can be cut out of construction paper on a snowy Sunday afternoon. Even glitter or sequins can be glued on for extra glitz. Double-sided tape can be used to attach the finished product to the glass, or snowflakes can be strung from yarn and hung from the sill.

3. Garlands and Bows of Green Wreaths

Adding seasonal greenery to your timber windows will give your home a classic country Christmas feel. An evergreen wreath or a faux holly garland draped across the top of the window would look lovely. You can also use pinecones or branches that you've gathered on your nature walks as decor. Bright red bows are a great finishing touch, no matter what you decide.

4. Stencils for Christmas

Traditional Christmas decorations like snowflakes, pine trees, reindeer, and Santa's sleigh can be created with stencils or from scratch. Spray "snow frost" on the stencil and then the window to create a temporary white powdery image on the glass. Place the stencil on the window.

5. Candles for the Season

Trying to achieve a refined, understated appearance? Place a variety of shaped and sized candles on the windowsill. Your home's exterior and interior will be adorned with a warm glow thanks to the flickering lights. Consider using battery-operated LED candles with built-in timers for fire safety and convenience.

6. Hanging Bubbles

Ornaments, mistletoe and miniature stockings can be hung in the window to decorate for the holidays. They're easy to use; just tie them to the window frame with some string. In order to achieve the best visual effect, hang the baubles from different lengths of string at an equal distance apart.

7. Window Clings

These rubbery, spongy decorations can be used for years to come. Stick them from the inside of your window by peeling off the foam page they come on. This means you can drink from both sides of the glass at the same time.

8. In The Village Of Santa

Santa's village is an excellent choice for a wide window sill or window seat. To begin, cover the windowsill with "snow" made from cotton. Decorate with figurines of people and light-filled buildings to complete the scene. A starry night sky can be created by hanging fairy lights from the window frame.
