Window Dressing

I usually redress the windows in the shop every 4-6 weeks and stagger doing them as I have got four to do. I'm really lucky that our lovely shop has such gorgeous picture windows and they are a treat to do.

However in January I have all four to do as they have been dressed for Christmas , so this week I made a start!

 

How do I go about it? Well , I usually choose a fabric and theme the accessories around it adding cushions, throws and accessories from the shop which have the right theme or colour.

I suppose it is like painting a picture really, I never plan down to the final details it just tends to flow once you get going. Sometimes it knowing when to stop which is the problem.

I sometimes buy show lengths specifically draping for the windows and have cushions made to coordinate so it is a bit of an investment but it is a showcase for the shop and I think so important for the business.

I also like to add a piece of vintage furniture such as a dresser, chest of drawers ,chair or French day bed. This helps to create atmosphere and depth.

We get lots of lovely comments about our windows, I hope you enjoy looking at the photos.
