What Do You Decorate A Porch With For Christmas
Decorating your front porch for Christmas is a wonderful way to spread holiday cheer and create a welcoming atmosphere for your guests. Don’t be afraid to use some pieces you typically reserve for the indoors for your porch especially if it is covered from the elements.
These are some of my favorite items to use.
- Wreaths: Hang a festive Christmas wreath on your front door as a traditional and timeless decoration.
- Garland and Swag: Drape evergreen garland and swag along your porch railing, columns, or around your doorway for a classic and elegant look.
- Holiday Lighting: Illuminate your porch with strings of Christmas lights. You can use white lights for a classic look, or go for colorful and creative options.
- Poinsettias and Greenery: Decorate with potted poinsettia plants or other seasonal flowers like red and white cyclamen.
- Seasonal Doormats: Welcome guests with a festive doormat that features holiday greetings, symbols, or a winter scene.
- Candles and Lanterns: Place lanterns with candles or LED flameless candles on your steps or tables.
- Seasonal Pillows and Blankets: Add holiday-themed pillows and throws to your outdoor furniture for comfort and style.
Here are a few items to use on your holiday front porch that can easily work with any design style.

Choose elements that match your overall Christmas decor theme and color scheme. Whether you’re going for a traditional red and green look, a modern and metallic style, or a rustic and natural feel, front porch planters provide a great way to tie in your overall holiday style and color scheme.
Use a base of fresh evergreen branches, such as pine, spruce, or cedar. These provide a lush and aromatic foundation for your arrangement.
You can add branches with red or white berries, like holly, winterberry, or snowberry, to introduce a festive pop of color.
Natural pinecones are great additions to your planter. You can leave them as is or consider painting them with metallic or white paint for a touch of elegance.
Use ribbons to introduce color and pattern. Tie a large bow or ribbon in the center or at the top of the planter. Choose a ribbon with a holiday pattern or a color that complements your overall decor.
Incorporate battery-operated fairy lights or LED string lights into the planter for a magical and twinkling effect.
The ideas are endless to have fun and get creative!
