Spooktacular Halloween Decorating Tips for Doors and Windows

Halloween is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to get creative with your home décor. While pumpkins and yard decorations get a lot of attention, your doors and windows are the perfect canvas for making your Plano, Wylie, Murphy, Sachse, and Frisco homes look both festive and frightful. Here are some hints and tips to help you decorate safely and stylishly this spooky season.

1. Stick with Window Clings

Vinyl Halloween clings are an easy and damage-free way to decorate. Ghosts, bats, or spider webs can be placed on the inside of your windows, creating a bold look from the outside while being easy to remove after the holiday.

2. Use String Lights for Glow and Drama

Orange and purple string lights draped around window frames or doorways set a festive mood. For safety, always use LED lights and check that your cords are rated for outdoor use if decorating exterior windows or entryways.

3. Shadowy Silhouettes

Cut out shapes like witches, black cats, or haunted houses from black poster board and tape them inside your windows. With a light on inside, these silhouettes become spooky shadows after dark.

4. Door Décor with Impact

Instead of just a wreath, consider transforming your front door into a monster face. Use craft foam or cardboard to create big “eyes” and “teeth,” turning your entryway into a Halloween character that greets every trick-or-treater.

5. Beware of Adhesives

Avoid using tape or glue directly on glass, as these can leave sticky residue or damage finishes. Instead, opt for suction cups, over-the-door hooks, or static clings designed specifically for glass.

6. Don’t Forget Safety

Keep walkways clear and avoid blocking visibility from key windows. This ensures your home looks festive without creating tripping hazards or dark spots where accidents can happen.

7. Finish with Clean Windows

Once the decorations come down, schedule a professional cleaning with Windows by George. Removing adhesive residue, dust, and fingerprints leaves your glass sparkling just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
