It’s finally the time of the year when you get to go nuts and start decorating for the holidays. Christmas is here, and with it comes all the expectations of having an inviting front porch as one of the main attractions. Of course, your Christmas tree will probably be the main attraction in your house, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t want your front porch to look just as appealing. If your Christmas tree is the main attraction in your house, a well-decorated front porch will only make your home more Christmassy without taking away too much attention from your tree. You don’t necessarily have to go overboard and get animatronic animals and floats out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t deck it up in your own unique way:
1. Traditional Christmas Wreath And Decor
This look works best if you have a front porch that opens out into your yard. You can set up a bunch of pretty lanterns on your lawn so that they glow at night and give your space the light it needs. Wrap some evergreens around the front column of your house and set them up with some red ribbons.
2. Frost Covered Christmas Wreath
For this Christmas porch, you can create fake frost with a snow can and spray your Christmas wreath with it. To light up your front porch, you can stream rice lights across it and even put up pretty floor lamps around the area. If you’re someone who likes to keep things vintage, this is definitely a look you should go for.
3. Simple Front Porch With One Color Theme
For those who prefer the simple approach, this is a great option. All you need to do is pick one color that you want to use across your decorations and stick to it. Whether it is a floor lamp or some twinkly fairy lights, it’s fun to stick to a unified color for aesthetic purposes.
4. Minimalist Approach
This design is for when you want to keep your porch decorations muted but attractive at the same time. If your door doesn’t have a nail, you can use a sturdy wall stick-on and attach the Christmas wreath to it. You can also find a few potted plants at your local nursery and keep them by the side of your porch.
5. Plants And Ribbons
This sweet and straightforward plant and ribbon approach is perfect for those who love some greenery. There’s nothing that symbolizes Christmas more than evergreen plants, so go crazy with it and deck out your entire porch with different evergreen plants. To give it a more Christmassy appeal, you can place red ribbons on it.
6. Front Porch With Outdoor Christmas Trees
If you’re using an outdoor Christmas tree or are planning on having multiple on your porch space, you should give this idea a try. Deck your trees with some colorful baubles and some flashing Christmas lights to heighten the experience.
7. Sock On The Front Door
What better way to prepare for the day of Christmas than placing a sock right on your door? Channel the gift-giving part of Christmas with this sweet and simple idea. You don’t always have to place a Christmas wreath on your door.
8. Double Doors With Fairy Lights
Opting for double doors with fairy lights is a pretty fun way to invite your guests over. After all, two Christmas wreaths are better than one. The more, the merrier! The wreaths can be simple and pretty at the same time.
9. Winter Wonderland
Did we just step into Narnia? This Narnia-inspired front porch is perfect for all lovers of fantasy and all things magic. Keep the lighting simple and just bright enough to highlight the minimal decorations you use on the front porch.
10. Guardian Christmas Trees
Everyone loves giant Christmas trees that take up a lot of space, but why not go for Christmas trees that decorate the outside of your front porch instead. You can cover the Christmas trees in pretty fairy lights to make it look even more wholesome and joyful.
11. Christmas Lights And Nothing Else
Another cute design for the minimalist kind! If you’re someone who loves all things lighting, you should definitely opt for this design. If you have a staircase to your front porch, all you need to do is wrap up the fairy lights around it like a creeper plant and watch the magic happen!
12. Front Porch With Fake Icicles
Want the Winterland feels without the Winterland freeze? You can look online or at your local decoration store for some super cool Winterland themed decor. For the door itself, you can keep things simple and opt for a traditional Christmas themed wreath and some sparkling rice lights if you’re really looking to jazz things up.
13. Fancy Baubles With Simple Christmas Trees
Baubles aren’t just meant for Christmas trees! You can find large ones that are made for big Christmas trees and hang them around your front porch like you would with wall hangings. This is another excellent idea for double doors, and you can find numerous cute Christmas wreaths that have flowers in non-traditional colors if that’s the route you want to opt for.
Your front porch deserves the same kind of attention to decor and detail that your home gets. If you have an elaborate Christmas tree, it’s a good idea to make the rest of your decor just as elaborate. And even if you don’t want your porch to steal all the attention from your decor, you should definitely give this a go.
