Decorate Your Windows for Christmas to Boost Your Holiday Curb Appeal

Adding outdoor Christmas lights around your windows is an easy way to illuminate your house and boost your holiday curb appeal. Use small nails, command hooks or a cordless glue gun to hang the string lights around each window frame. You can even hang the lights around the window on the inside of your house for the same effect. This will give you a double-dose of holiday cheer since you’ll be able to see them from the inside and outside of house.

What’s holiday décor without a few wreaths? Whether you go with live wreaths or artificial wreaths you can use year after year, they provide a classic Christmas look that’s hard to resist. Hang one in each window and one on the front door and adorn with a festive bow or a strand of battery-operated lights. Add a few holiday picks into your wreath with pinecones, red berries or small ornaments to take it to the next level.

A window draped with Christmas garland warms up your front porch and is an easy way to dress up your home. If the look of lush green garland isn’t your thing, go with a garland of glittering stars, iced pinecones or ornaments. Or do a little of each and layer a few different garlands together for a unique look full of visual interest. Start with the largest garland and add the daintier garlands one by one. This is one look even the Grinch won’t be able to resist.

Add decorative lighted window decoration for a simple way to get your home ready for the holidays. Attach the window décor with an included suction cup and plug it in. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Just make sure your window is clean before attaching so the suction cup adheres properly. Choose from festive designs like a pair of candy canes, snowflakes, and your favorite holiday personalities like Frosty and Santa himself.

The classic look of candles flickering inside your windows is always a good go-to look. Instead of worrying about having multiple candles burning at the same time, opt for an electric or battery-powered version. Most work on a timer, so you can literally set it and forget it, which is a welcome reprieve during this busy season. With artificial dripping wax and a realistic flickering flame, you’ll never be able to tell they’re electric candles. Add one candle per small window and two or three to large windows and cozy up your curb appeal in just a few minutes.
