Christmas is the most magical moment of the year, and if you like to create the perfect Christmas atmosphere, the best way is to start decorating your house.
As every year, you have probably already thought about how to make your home warmer and welcoming, trying to find new inspirations.
You may already have plans on how to decorate your Christmas tree, your entrance, the fireplace and the dinner table where to gather all your guests.

Decorating the windows of your house will certainly add something special to your Christmas celebrations.
Now let’s take a look at a few ideas to decorate your windows during the festivities.

If your space is not too big, go for simple models with nice prints not to make it too “busy” or maybe opt for roll-ups which have low encumbrance.
Decorate windows for Christmas: pick the right accessories
If you’d rather not buy a new, themed, curtain or blind, you should then opt for some decorative accessories.
You can have fun choosing the ones that best match the other decorations of your room and maybe tie one up to the blind’s rod.
You could add things like garlands, pines or sugar sticks that everyone in the house will certainly love.
Another fun idea is to apply to your blinds and curtains small red ribbons with some adhesive velcro.
Make sure you have the right amount of decorations for each curtain to achieve a nice balance and not make something too “over the top”.
Replace your ordinary curtains with Christmas curtain lights
An idea that will undoubtedly bring the atmosphere of festivities in your house is to add a shower of lights to the windows of your home.

DIY: create original handmade Christmas decorations
The last suggestion is undoubtedly the most suitable for the creative types: handmade Christmas decorations for your windows and your glass windows.
