Entry door curb appeal matters, particularly during the holidays. Its silent charm beckons family and friends to gather in your home and welcomes them to your abode. Spruce up your front entry door with holiday cheer. It’s easier than you think!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Greenery and holly berries
The bright contrast of candy apple red holly berries against greenery says “welcome” during the holidays with class and cheer. Outline your entry door with a simple garland of greenery with a splash of holly berries throughout.
2. Stocking
A holiday stocking adds a great focal point to your entry door curb appeal, so bring the indoor cheer outside by mounting a Christmas stocking on your entry door.
3. Lanterns
Add a couple of lanterns on either side of your front door to bring a festive feel to your entryway.
4. Christmas tree
Bring a live, potted evergreen to your front porch and decorate it with ornaments to create a joyful atmosphere on the way into your home. Choose either light blues and silver or reds and whites to bring on the holiday cheer.
5. Combine silver and gold for a glitzy look
With the backdrop of a hearty green wreath, add both silver and gold ornaments to your door wreath to bring a classic look to your holiday welcome. Hearty greenery can also be used to frame your entry door, and when you add more silver and gold ornaments to your garland, it will help your guests step into the holiday spirit before they even set foot inside your home.
6. Make holiday planters
Grab a great looking planter or two and add some greens like cedar, boxwood, and pine to create a holiday bouquet. Add some bright red holly berries, and a few pine cones to the arrangements, and you’re off to a great start on welcoming guests.
7. Spice up a basic wreath
Take a basic green wreath and add fresh pine to it to bring on the holiday welcome. Hang it with a shiny white, red, or gold ribbon to spruce up your entry door curb appeal.
8. Add some twinkle with LEDs
Regardless of what you choose to decorate your entry door with, if you add some LEDs, you’ll present an unforgettable holiday glow once it gets dark out each evening.
9. Add a pop of seasonal color
A big red bow can be added to your outdoor planters to bring a fun pop of holiday color to your front porch.
10. Unlit candles with greenery
A few unlit white candles placed on a painted box can be highlighted with greenery and a swath of red ribbon for a touch of welcoming warmth.
11. Vintage wagon cart
Place a small artificial Christmas tree in a vintage wagon cart, then add a hand painted welcome sign to the cart with a warm holiday greeting on it.
12. Bring out the baskets
Add fresh evergreen clippings to a basket, then a splash of color with a plaid red ribbon to spark visual interest on your front porch.
13. Cranberry wreath
A punch of red on your front door, by way of a gorgeous cranberry wreath anchored with a few hanging pinecones, can let the holiday fun start on your front porch before the festivities even begin.
