Christmas Window Decor Ideas: Cozy Ways to Dress Up Any Window
Windows are easy to overlook, but they are seen from both inside and out. A little light and greenery can make a home look warm from the street and cozy from the couch.
Most of these ideas use removable hooks, suction cups or no hardware at all, so they are renter friendly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any lights, and never leave candles unattended.
