How to Design Your Porch, Yard, and Patio with Outdoor Christmas Decorations?

1. Create a decoration plan.

There are three things to consider when planning your Christmas decorations:

Home Style - Remember building types, color schemes, landscaping and paths. Determine the outdoor area you want to decorate.

Choose a theme - Once you have a theme, identify the key items that hold the look together. An easy way to create a cohesive effect is to apply an interior decor theme to an outdoor space. If you're hesitant, take inspiration from your favorite things. For example, let your precious snow globe inspire the Winter Wonderland theme. Start with frosted outdoor garlands and garlands of Christmas decorations for your front door. Then, build your theme by adding complementary elements such as snowflakes or snowman decorations.

Placement - Christmas lawn decorations vary in size but tend to be larger compared to interior decorations. This way they can be seen from a distance. To determine where to place them, it's important to consider the size of your garden or yard. Place them in such a way that they do not block the sidewalk. Remember, they should not prevent you from seeing the driveway or road.

2. Greet guests with fresh festive leaves.

Christmas greening is an easy way to update the look of your home over the holidays. Start by hanging an outdoor Christmas wreath, garland, or both on doors and window frames. Then, echo the look with the same type of foliage arranged in a pot or basket. Install window frames on window sills and on handrails or benches. Wrap outdoor garlands around posts or drape along railings and fences. Don't forget to add color to your mailbox with decorative items.
