Christmas is coming and, with it, endless plans to do with your loved ones. Dinners, parties, gifts, celebrations… And of course, all this in a very special and endearing atmosphere through the decoration. Surely you already have some ideas to decorate the interior of your house in the best possible way, but what about the exterior?
If you dare to decorate your garden with a lot of charm or to place some decorations on your facade, we bring you some decoration ideas for the outside of your house at Christmas. Take note of all of them because some you can do with your own hands, or have a great time with the children doing them step by step.
Christmas decoration ideas for the outside of your home
Whether you have a large or small garden, or even if you have a balcony or a terrace, you will have to come up with the best ideas to create a festive atmosphere in this area of your home as well. Take into account your preferences, your tastes and those of your family, and get down to work.
Garland
The garlands are ideal for decorating the exterior of your house, whether it is a balcony, windows or your garden. You can make the garlands yourself with paper, for example, or with tinsel in the color of your choice, and hang different balls or figures on it to create a much more festive atmosphere. You’ll see how good it is!
Christmas wreath
The Christmas wreath cannot be missing from any self-respecting outdoor decoration. The most typical thing is to hang it on your door, but you can also place it on the walls or on the exterior facade of your home. Look at the color of the walls of your house and combine it with your Christmas wreath, it can also be made of wood or twigs to give a somewhat rustic touch to your home and provide the necessary warmth on these Christmas dates.
Christmas stickers and decals
Stickers and decals are great for decorating the exterior of your home if you don’t want to spend a lot of money and if you also need something that is eye-catching but not too overloaded. In this sense, you can put all those stickers on the windows of your home, on the door or on the walls of the facade, to give a point of creativity to your Christmas. If you have nephews or children, you can ask them to make different Christmas drawings and then place them in the windows; you’ll see how excited they are!
Posters to wish a Merry Christmas
You can show your neighbors or your visitors that you celebrate Christmas in style by placing a sign on the lawn of your garden or on the door. You can create it yourself with wood or cardboard, and draw on it a Christmas motif orator wish the best Christmas to everyone who sees the outside of your home.
Amazing figures
If you want to go one step further and you have a large garden, you can bet on large reindeer figures, gifts, Santa Claus or even a snowman loaded with lights. You will have to buy this decoration idea, although you can also create the large figure yourself, if you are very handy, with wrapped in lights, taking care that they do not get wet as they can be spoiled to be reused in the coming years.
A very endearing corner at Christmas
If you have plenty of space in your garden to place different decorations, you can create a Christmas corner with a few decorative elements. For example, you can put if you are a Christian with wooden or handmade figures, or perhaps place different decorative elements on the chairs and tables that you have in your garden. For example, you can place red bows on the chairs, while on the table you can create a very original DIY centerpiece. You can also get Christmas blankets and cushions and place them in this corner or on top of a bench if you have one, with Christmas stuffed animals for children.
Every detail counts: a Christmas doormat
In addition to crowns, garlands or different figures, keep in mind that the exterior of your house at Christmas can be very endearing if you take care of every detail. For example, you can place a Christmas doormat so that your guests and visitors will be surprised by the level of detail in your decoration. Or you can also place a figure that represents these parties next to the door.
A way to your house
If you have a garden or a relatively large space from the entrance to the land to the door of your house, a great idea is to create a path of lights or candles until you reach it. You can buy those lights or reuse them from other years. If you decide to buy them, we recommend some LED candles so that they do not get damaged if the weather is bad or if it rains. You can also decorate this path with tinsel or Christmas of different colors.
Christmas lights
Christmas lights are undoubtedly the queens to create a festive atmosphere in any self-respecting home. You do not need to fill the exterior of your house with lights, if you do not like the idea you can always bet on garlands to hang on the porch or place some lights on the main facade. In this sense, you can use solar-charged lights, or reuse those lights that you used to put inside your house and that you use no longer.
Decorate your outdoor plants
Do you have natural plants in your garden? Or trees maybe? Then do not hesitate and also decorate these elements, dressing your garden for Christmas withhandmadeor purchased decorations to hang on your plants. You can put little bows, balls or figures that hang from its branches or leaves, taking care that these decorations do not weigh too much so that your tree or plant does not break. And if you have planters in the windows, you can also place decorative elements that remind you that we are at Christmas.
Christmas tree for the garden
Surely you will have already put your Christmas inside your house, perfectly decorated with different ornaments or crafts. How about you also put a Christmas tree outside? If you already have natural trees or plants, as we told you in the previous point, you can decorate them directly or decorate just one of them that serve as a Christmas tree. But if you want to put up a Christmas tree made by yourself or purchased and that is artificial, you can choose one of the size you prefer (depending on how big your entrance or garden is), or bet on a tree that is attached to the wall: with Eva, with cardboard, with branches that you find in the field… You decide!
A Christmas table
Do you have an outdoor table to place in your garden? Then place your table in the place or corner that you like the most, for example on the porch if you have it, and fill it with decorative elements: balls, stars, Christmas bells, the Three Wise Men, plasticized Christmas to congratulate the holidays… In this Meaning, if you have guests, you can always place a plate of sweets on the key day of the celebration.
