Christmas window display professionally arranged - lights, decorations, festive scenes that look good from the street. Make your windows stand out this year.
Make Your House the Pretty One on the Street
Every year someone on your road has amazing windows that everyone comments on. This year, that could be you.
It's not about spending loads - it's about arranging what you've got so it actually looks good instead of random decorations stuck up.
💡 Pro tip: Front-facing rooms only. Back windows don't need the full treatment unless you really want them - save your decorations for where people actually see them.
Why Professional Display Makes the Difference
Because throwing up some lights and hoping for the best rarely looks as good as you imagined.

What to Expect
Step 1: Quick Plan
Look at your windows together, see what decorations you've got, discuss what you're aiming for (traditional, modern, fun, elegant).
Step 2: Arrange the Display
I work from inside, creating balanced displays with clear focal points. Lights go up neatly, decorations positioned thoughtfully.
Step 3: Check from Outside
Pop outside to check the street view - that's what matters. Adjust anything that doesn't quite work from the pavement.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to create your own window displays? Here's the formula:
🔧 What works well in windows
- Fairy lights as background glow
- One clear focal point per window (big ornament, nice decoration)
- Layers - back, middle, front
- Symmetry (or deliberate asymmetry - not accidental chaos)
- Less clutter than you think
📐 Arranging effectively
- Start with lights - create the background glow
- Add your biggest/best piece as focal point
- Build around it with smaller items
- Use different heights (books under items to raise them)
- Step outside and check the street view
- Adjust until it looks balanced
✂️ Lighting tips
- Warm white generally looks classier than multi-colour
- Hide the cable runs (tuck behind curtains)
- Battery-powered lights = no trailing cables
- Don't overcrowd - let the lights breathe
- Test everything before you start arranging
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Too much stuff crammed in (less is more)
- All decorations at same height (no depth)
- Forgetting to check from outside (inside view doesn't matter)
- Tangled lights visible (ruins the effect)
- No focal point (just random stuff)
💡 Pro trick: Use plain white paper or fabric as backing to reflect light and make colours pop. Transforms the whole display for pennies.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎄 Doing multiple rooms? Book them together. Front room, hallway, kids' rooms - I can do the lot in one visit. Much more efficient than separate appointments.
Period property windows? Those lovely tall Victorian/Georgian windows look amazing with proper displays. Worth doing properly.
Business premises? Shop windows need special attention because they're your Christmas advertising. I can create displays that actually attract customers rather than just looking festive.
Takedown service? Most people want this for early January. Same price, usually quicker. I'll pack everything carefully for storage next year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Christmas window display include?
I arrange lights, decorations, maybe artificial snow spray, festive ornaments - whatever creates a nice scene in your front windows. Think department store style but for your house. Makes your place stand out on the street.
Do I need to provide all the decorations?
Yes - you buy what you want displayed, I'll arrange it to actually look good. I can advise on what works well if you're not sure (fairy lights, ornaments, fake snow, window stickers, etc).
Can you do this for bay windows?
Yes - bay windows are actually brilliant for displays because they're visible from multiple angles. Takes a bit longer to dress properly but looks great when done.
What about businesses - can you do shop windows?
Absolutely. Same service but for commercial windows. Great for attracting customers during the festive period. Takes a bit longer for large shop windows - I'll quote based on size.
Will you take it all down in January?
Yes - most people book takedown for early January. Same price, usually quicker because I'm just removing rather than arranging.
