1. Simplistic Beauty
There’s something special about the unadorned elegance of outdoor holiday decorations--whether they be in the form of coordinated wreaths across each window or lush garlands surrounding the trim, you can feel the warmth and spirit of this magical time.
Vibrant poinsettias are another classic touch to add throughout your walkway to lead guests to the front door and radiate a natural, clean fragrance that reminds them of the winter season.
2. Sparkling Lights
Branchy lights that look like little winter trees are a great way to brighten up your porch and create a welcoming, cheerful entryway. If you prefer to drape sweeping string lights throughout your porch, the joyful glow will give your home the charming, festive twinkle that feels as warm and comforting as a hot cup of cocoa.
3. Keep it Simple
When it comes to your holiday decorations, you don’t need to replicate Santa’s workshop for your winter wonderland; sometimes a minimalistic approach will more than suffice. If untangling lights and assembling garlands isn’t for you, a simple wreath complete with a silky red ribbon and a few hollies should do the trick for your outdoor decorations.
4. Outdoor Tree
Everyone adores the curb appeal of a fully decorated, sparkling tree during the holidays, but some residencies lack the proper layout to fit a tree indoors. If your family room isn't equipped to store your 8-foot pine, that’s what your front porch is for. Take the tree outside and decorate it with all your favorite lights and ornaments. It’s a festive touch that will draw the attention of anyone passing by.
5. Let it Glow
There’s nothing better than a festive glow during the holiday season. If your home has an abundance of large windows, the glow from your well-lit interior will shine just as bright outdoors. This makes your outdoor space stand out in the neighborhood and adds a peaceful ambiance to your front yard.
6. Ornament Lantern
Leave the candles behind and fill your lanterns with shiny ornaments to match the colors of the season. Sparkly ornaments of red, green, white, and gold will give your porch an understated pop of festive cheer. Top the lanterns with a fun holiday ribbon and Fraser fir for a foresty aroma that reminds you of trekking through the woods to find the perfect tree.
And if you have more ornaments than you need, take any remaining ornaments and stick them on your outdoor tree! The lanterns are the perfect pairing right next to your beautiful evergreen.
7. Candy Cane Pillar
No, it isn’t an actual pillar made of candy, we’re talking about light-wrapped pillars on your front porch. It might not taste as sweet but a candy cane-inspired look can be achieved by simply wrapping the columns in bright white lights and garlands and outlining your front door for an added glow.
8. Golden Glow
You don’t need to go for an over-the-top light show like Clark Griswold, but one type of light design can be just as impactful. You can never go wrong with simple gold-toned lights, which will match the structure and style of any home. It’s a classy look that will garner the attention of the neighbors but won’t draw a visit from old cousin Eddy.
