17 Magical Christmas Window Display Ideas to Spark Holiday Joy
1.Hanging Dried Oranges
Dried oranges are one of those things that’s synonymous with Christmas. I absolutely love the idea of this window display, and it’s one that you can get the kids involved in too.
You can either choose to dry out the oranges yourself, or purchase a pack from a local craft store, or online. Simply thread some invisible string through the oranges and tie to the top of a curtain pole for a gorgeous, and fragrant look.
2. Adorn Each Window With A Wreath
This is a tasteful idea to create and it gives a festive look from inside, and outside your home.
Add a wreath to the centre of each window, and tie a red ribbon to the bottom. So simple, yet the perfect festive sprinkle that instantly elevates the windows.
3. Dress The Top & Bottom
When it comes to Christmas, you don’t need an excuse to go all out! Think about both the top and bottom sections of the windows when you’re dressing them.
Take inspiration from the below and drape a real, or faux garland across the top of the window. On the windowsill, you could display a garland, add a winter village or a set of pre-lit Christmas trees for a magical, ambient feel.
4. Magical White Linework
This much loved type of window display is a favourite for shop windows and beyond, and it’s super effective.
This type of white line work can be used to draw any type of pattern or Christmas motif that you like. Baubles, Christmas trees, snowmen and winter villages are all tried and tested ideas that look great.
5. Inspired By Nature
Lean into the natural side and don’t feel like you have to use traditional Christmas colours in your scheme.
This series of natural decorations are hung from the ceiling for an ethereal look. Do combine decorations of differing sizes as this will enhance visual interest in your display.
6. Add A Festive Sparkle
Add a little festive sparkle to your windows with a white acrylic pen. The easiest way to transform a window, that looks amazing.
All you need is a white acrylic pen and a pattern in mind. If you don’t feel that confident drawing free hand, find a print out of a template that you can draw around.
7. Combine Hanging Decorations
Elevate your window by hanging a variety of Christmas touches. This could include starting with fairy lights, dried fruits, or even your own handmade Christmas cookies, as shown below!
8. Curtain Fairy Lights For Added Magic
Those twinkly Christmas lights are one of the best bits of Christmas decorations. They have the ability to instantly make a space feel cosy.
Don’t just stop at your tree lights, and add a set of curtain fairy lights to your window. A simple styling idea that can be reused year, after year.
9. Drape It In The Most Gorgeous Garland
How gorgeous? Whilst styling specifically for the inside, you still get a gorgeous view if you’re on the other side.
Drape a stunning wreath across the length of the window so it beautifully drapes down the side. Add a wreath to the centre and layer the garland with ribbon, dried fruits and fairy lights. It will smell amazing too!
10. Snowmen Decor
If you have sash style windows, you have plenty more panes you can have fun with!
This sweet snowmen decor look draws the eye in and is perfect for some festive fun. Line the shelves of the window with fairy lights to light it up as the night draws in.
11. Glorious Window Box
Sometimes it’s worth getting the professionals involved, and if you like traditional Christmas decor, this look is for you.
Using real foliage and garlands, this garland frames the window whilst the window box has been filled and switched up for the season ahead. The pineapples make a fun addition, adding further texture and colour to the window box.
12. Winter Cityscape
Another pattern idea if you’re looking to get crafty with a white acrylic pen in your window!
Designs don’t have to be elaborate or intricate, but they add such a cute, crafty look that is enhanced by a candle, or Christmas lights in the background.
13. Light Reflecting Bauble Wreath
Swap a traditional foliage wreath for a bauble one, you won’t regret it! Especially placed in the centre of the window, those shiny baubles will help to bounce and reflect colourful light around the room.
14. Rustic, Packed Window Box
Just in case you need anymore inspiration for elevating your windows and window box this season…
Whilst real foliage can’t be used year after year, if you’re looking for an authentic look that stops people in their tracks, it’s a no-brainer.
15. Paper Themed Christmas Window
Shop window displays do it best, and we love this idea in the below shop window.
Stick to a natural paper theme for your window, hanging origami style decorations and trees. It’s another activity that you could get kids involved in too, and you only need some paper, scissors and creativity to hand to pull this one off.
16. Traditional Foliage Window Box
Updating your window box for Christmas is one of the best ways to create a window display that adds impact.
When building it out, do layer the foliage and heights for added interest. Add some red details be it berries or baubles which will enhance the look and draw the eyes in.
17. Neutral, Boho Inspired Theme
Boho inspired and neutral Christmas decor ideas continue to be a trending theme at Christmas.
Swap out the traditional green tree for a stunning pampas grass tree, the layering, colours and beauty adds such a different dimension to a window display. Finish with white feathers or leaves for a magical, ethereal feel.
