Although the inside of your house will be the main focus when it comes to Christmas decorations, this doesn’t mean you have to neglect the outside. Here are some ideas for how you can give your exteriors a festive feel too.
Put a tree up outside
There is nothing in the rules that says you are only allowed to have one Christmas tree! Why not buy a second tree for the front garden this year, to make your lawn the standout one in the street?
You can opt for a real tree or an artificial one, depending on your taste. Make sure you have a power source available for turning the lights on.
Hang lights around the roof
One of the most popular and effective types of exterior decorations are outdoor Christmas lights. These can be hung up around the roof of your home, or around the sides of the front.
Another great option is to create a festive light display in your front garden. You will get the maximum impact if you choose multi-coloured string lights.
Decorate the front door
The front door of your home is the ideal place for some festive decorations. Hang a Christmas wreath as the focal point and then build the rest around it. You can put up garlands and maybe have a laughing Santa to one side of the door. This will ensure that visitors get into the festive spirit from the moment they arrive.
