As Halloween approaches, it's the perfect time to get creative with your shop window and create a spooky display that will draw in customers. With so many decoration options available, it can be overwhelming to decide where to start. In this article, we'll share some simple ideas for creating a Halloween window display that will capture the spirit of the season.
Light up Your Window Display
The right lighting can set the mood and help create a spooky atmosphere. To achieve this, use Halloween-themed lights that emit a warm glow or subtle eerie light. LED fairy lights are perfect for adding a little extra glow where needed. These lights come in various colours, so you can add some colour to your display without spending too much money. Hanging LED lights in the shape of bats, spiders, or ghosts can add some dimension and excitement to your display.

Hang Halloween Decorations
Hanging decorations are a great way to add texture and colour to your display. You can hang them from the ceiling or place them on shelves, tables, or counters where they’ll be visible from the outside. Using seasonal colours such as orange and red can create an autumnal glow, or try unique combinations like orange and purple, or mix in a slime green.

Use Cutouts for Easy Halloween Decorations
Cutouts are easy to use and offer various designs that fit any spooky scene. You can create a spooky atmosphere in your window by using cutouts of bats, spiders, witches, or ghosts. You can also try creating a haunted house scene using cardboard or foam board, adding spooky details like ghosts, bats, or tombstones.

Create Spooky Silhouettes
Another simple and effective way to decorate your windows is by creating spooky silhouettes. Using black paper, scissors, and tape, cut out the shapes of creepy creatures like bats, spiders, witches, or ghosts and stick them to your windows. The silhouettes will cast ominous shadows outside when the light is on inside your shop, adding to the spooky atmosphere.
Add Halloween Paper Star Lanterns
For a unique and enchanting Halloween decoration, try hanging Halloween-themed paper star lanterns inside your windows. Paper Starlights offers a range of handmade star lanterns that are perfect for decorating your windows. These lanterns come in different colours and designs. You can hang these lanterns inside your windows to create a spooky and enchanting atmosphere.
When lit from within, these paper star lanterns cast a warm and inviting glow, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere inside your shop. They also look great from the outside, adding an eerie and atmospheric touch to your Halloween display.
In addition to being a great Halloween decoration, paper star lanterns from Paper Starlights are also an eco-friendly choice, as they are made from sustainably sourced paper and can be reused again and again.
Incorporate Pumpkins in Your Display
Pumpkins are a common sight during Halloween, so why not use them as part of your window decorations? You can use real pumpkins or fake ones that are just as effective. Carve spooky faces into the pumpkins or paint them in seasonal colours for an eye-catching display.
