As the holidays inch closer, and we start trading in pumpkin spice lattes for peppermint mochas, it's time to start thinking about decorating for the holidays. While the tree is probably at the top of your list, there are other areas around the house that could also use some Christmas cheer, including your windows. We're sharing some of our favorite holiday window decorating ideas guaranteed to even impress the Grinch.
1. Drape Your Windows With Garland
If you're looking for a classic take on holiday decor, try hanging garland over your windows. The top-down/bottom-up feature on these Woven Wood Shades is ideal if you want privacy at eye level, while still bringing in plenty of natural light. If you want to go bigger, add a statement-making lighted garland to really highlight your windows.

4. Place Tree in Front of a Window
If wreaths and garland aren't your thing, try placing your Christmas tree in front of a window. Be sure to decorate the back of your tree, so neighbors and Christmas carolers can see the soft glow as they pass by.
