Don’t keep your gorgeous Christmas decorations all hidden away on the inside of your house for only you and your family to enjoy. Make sure you extend your Christmas decorating all the way out to your front door and beyond!
Of course, we are all for decking out the inside of your house with as much Christmas as you can handle, there certainly is no doubt about that. But the front door and entrance area of your home is an amazing opportunity to not only share your style and passion for all things Christmas, but also to share the Christmas spirit with visitors and passers-by.
Like all Christmas decorations, there are so many options that it can be hard to know which one to choose or where to start. Think of your front door frame like a picture frame, and the door is your canvas. Let your imagination and creativity create something magical! Here are some of our favourite ideas and inspiration for decorating your front door with a little bit of Christmas flair.
Wreaths
Wreaths are perhaps the most common décor item that comes to mind when you think of decorating a front door. And there certainly are some beautiful options.
You can never go wrong with a stunning traditional red and green Christmas wreath on your front door.
For a white Christmas inspired look, this Aspen Pine wreath is just gorgeous. The white snow contrasted with the dark door colour really creates something special.
Or perhaps a warm Christmas by the coast with a nautical theme is more to your liking.
If you are looking for something a bit fun and creative, this cute elf leg wreath has plenty of Christmas character to share. This is a great DIY craft project. Watch our video to see how you can easily create your very own in 5 easy steps.
Look at teaming your wreath with a personalised Christmas plaque and twig window to create something truly special and unique.
Plaques
Although they do look amazing, decorating your door for Christmas doesn’t necessarily have to include a wreath. There are some beautiful personalised plaques and Christmas signs that will add plenty Christmas charm to any door. With a range of themes and styles available there is something suit every home.
Let your guests know they are at the right place and welcome them into your seaside Christmas celebrations with this personalised wooden beach plaque.
These classic white wood with gold or red glitter calligraphy and a touch of beautiful greenery are the perfect greeting for any visitors that you might have in the lead up to Christmas.
And if you need to leave a very special and important message for the guy in the big red suit, make sure it doesn’t get missed or lost by making it big and hanging it right near the entrance!
Beyond the Front Door
Decorating the front of your house for Christmas doesn’t need to be limited to only the door. Provided that you are lucky enough to have the space, there are so many ways that you can extend your Christmas décor to your front porch and entrance way.
Add some greenery on either side of the door with potted plants, trees or even incorporate some small Christmas trees on the ground or side tables.
Frame your door with beautiful, lush green garland for a simply stunning entrance way.
Create an inviting place for visitors to stop and enjoy your Christmas hospitality…
…especially those that have been working all night and might need a little rest!
