Adorn Your Front Door with a Wreath

Nothing sets the tone for the festive period like a beautiful wreath on your front door. Traditionally made from evergreen foliage, wreaths have the ability to bring joy to not only you as the homeowner, but those who walk by too. Whatever style of property you own, there’s a design for everyone. Choose from classic pine, a beautifully adorned grapevine design, a multi-coloured bauble wreath or a contemporary design packed with luxurious red berries.

Go All Out with Doorscaping

You never really get a second chance to make a first impression, so why hold back when giving your doorway a makeover this festive season? ‘Doorscaping’ is a Christmas door decor trend rising in popularity, which usually involves transforming your whole entrance, not just the front door.

Celebrities and interior aficionados may have been doing it for years, bringing joy to all who walk past their lavish homes. However, the best thing about this trend is you can avoid enlisting a florist or personal stylist to achieve a show-stopping look. All you need to do is choose a theme and embrace all things maximalist! Think locally sourced foliage around your entry and surrounding architecture, a statement wreath, fairy lights in planters, oversized figurines and pops of festive colour.

Magical Outdoor Lighting

Christmas door decor isn’t complete without fairy lights and festoon bulbs casting a warm glow. You don’t have to go all out when creating a magical entrance; simply embellish door frames with bulb lights, weave delicate string lights around pillars, through railings or shrubs and use lanterns to guide your eye towards your festive front door.

Seasonal Planters

If planters flank your front door, these are the perfect places to add festive cheer. One of the easiest ways to embrace the season is by adoring evergreens with twinkling fairy lights. Add an oversized bow for a splash of colour, or you can even plan red Christmas roses, white hellebores, and winter flowering heathers for a touch of natural colour.

Those Final Festive Flourishes

Once you’ve hung your wreath and spread a little sparkle with fairy lights, there are a few last things you can do to add that final festive flourish. Place down a seasonal doormat – this can have a playful print or personal greeting, adding a little joy as guests step over the threshold. Why not raise a smile with an illuminated rattan character? Lastly, remember to add an element of festiveness to your windows. You can bring them to life with indoor hanging paper stars, oversized baubles or even ceramic cutout lanterns, creating an inviting Scandinavian look.
