The key to not having to come up with a decent display window every week

is to have a good under-structure that just needs 3 or 5 or 7 pieces of merchandise replaced. See some salient points after these examples.

Repetition. Use one consistent prop (the chair) and repeat in each window or frame. Arrange merchandise around each. Done! Other ideas: clothes trees, giant silk tree or vase of bare branches.

Building a wall segment 2-3 feet away from your display window allows you to do a quick and easy “front hall” arrangement. Change out the pegboard and/or repaint the wall seasonally to keep your wow factor fresh.

Build pedestals once, replace what’s on them forever after. Especially good idea for home decor. Caution: To make this dramatic and not slapdash, proper spotlighting is crucial as is a solid backdrop.

Keep simple windows appealing:

Keep them clean. Every week, as you switch out the goods, make sure everything is spotless.
Keep them fresh. Unless your props are intentionally shabby chic, repair signs of wear immediately.
Lighting is key. Invest in moveable track lighting.
Speaking of investing: Yes, your under-structure may be costly. But when you figure in the hours saved per year, they’re a bargain.

Stay inspired.
