When it comes to Christmas decorations, you do not have to restrict yourself to your house. Why not bring some festive cheer to your garden as well? Here are some ideas for doing just that.
Drape your porch and fence with garlands
Festive garlands are a great way to decorate your porch and fences. You can choose a style based on your personal taste. If you favour quite a minimalist, traditional look, a plain green Christmas garland will be best. If you are dreaming of a white Christmas, a garland with fake snow will help to create this look. You could even add your own decorations in the form of ribbons, berries or baubles.
Bring your bushes to life with lights
Bushes and hedges make for ideal places to hang some lights, with cluster lights being the best choice. They contain a higher number of bulbs, so you get a fuller and more consistent light effect. You can opt for lights that glow permanently or ones that twinkle, but try to always go with LEDs. This is because they are more energy efficient.
Try an outdoor Christmas tree
People tend to think of Christmas trees as an indoor decoration, but this does not have to be the case. You can always add one to your front pathway or have two flanking the door. If you decide to go with this idea, pick pre-lit Christmas trees and hang either multi-coloured or white lights around them.
Any of these three ideas will help to make your garden a bit more festive.
