Halloween in the UK continues to grow in popularity, influenced by its popularity in the US. Over the past decade, consumer spending on Halloween-related products has quadrupled, confirming Halloween’s growing popularity [1]. Halloween mural window art is a great way to customise a window theme with spooky and ghoulish artistic decoration.
I have created this guide to help you plan and create the very best domestic and commercial Halloween window mural. Make your home or business stand out from the crowd while celebrating this spooky festival.
Originating as a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest, today kids and adults alike dress up to scare friends and neighbours and give and receive sweet treats. Some communities compete to put on the best house display with the best treats.
Domestic Halloween Window Mural Art
External Halloween home decorations have grown in popularity and the competition in some neighbourhoods is very fierce and scary! Skellington’s, gravestones, lights, smoke machines, sound effects and even projectors are used to create some of the most impressive domestic Halloween displays.
Take your home Halloween decoration to the next level with a Halloween window mural, specifically customised to your theme and level of spooky or gory detail. Whether the mural is for all to see in your street, or the centrepiece for your Halloween party, I can help you design something breathtaking.
It’s best to use as large a window as possible for the mural, sliding patio or bifold doors are ideal.
Commercial Halloween Window Mural Art
Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, it is a tradition in the UK and many businesses use a themed window display or even produce Halloween-themed products. A Halloween-themed window mural can complement and enhance any window display or help promote your products and services.
It’s best to use as large a space as possible for the mural and can span multiple windows and doors.
My Experience
I’m Alessandra Tortone and I work with domestic, high street businesses and corporate clients to create captivating Halloween mural window art. As a professional London mural artist, I have over 20 years of experience designing and painting Halloween window murals of all shapes and sizes.
Window murals are generally quick to implement, they create instant impact and breathe new life into what may be an invariable bland mundane external presence. Equally, window murals are quick and easy to remove when needed without impact or damage. All our paints are water-based so are kind to the environment.
