Sharing a classic blue and white Christmas porch with simple details you can easily recreate. Full source list and how to layer elements included.
Welcome to this year’s Annual Blogger’s Holiday Home Tour!
Each year an amazing group of bloggers shares special rooms in their homes throughout the whole week. Thank you to Jenny from Evolution of Style and Amy & Christy from 11 Magnolia Lane for hosting!
If you are new and/or coming over from Rhoda from Southern Hospitality then welcome! I am so glad you are here and I hope you love my Christmas porch reveal today.
My name is Rebekah Dempsey and I have been blogging for almost 13 years now. I know. It’s A LONG time! I am an interior designer and started this blog to be a great resource for friends and clients on the latest design trends and things I was loving.
Recently I wrote a design book and opened a new online home decor shop, full of beautiful and affordable pieces for your home.
And if you want to check out my Christmas porch from the last few years then you can see it here and here.

So let’s move onto this year’s porch! I finally broke the red color scheme I have been doing the last couple of years and picked this new doormat from our new shop as the highlight. More on that below!
Quick Glance
- A simple color palette of blue and white keeps your porch feeling cohesive and elegant without looking overdone.
- Layering is everything: combine a wreath, planters, lanterns, and a doormat at different heights to create depth.
- A high-quality faux wreath that mimics a real one is worth the investment because it looks dreamy and holds up season after season.
- Swapping seasonal faux plants into permanent planters is a low-effort, cost-effective way to refresh your porch throughout the year.
- Remote-controlled candle lanterns make evening curb appeal effortless.
- A geometric blue and white doormat can bridge the gap between seasons, giving you more mileage from a single affordable purchase.
But first this is my all-time favorite wreath and I am hoping next year I can get a few more. It literally sells out so quick every year but is a stunner if you can grab one.
What I love most is it looks almost exactly like a real one. The branches drape the same and have a soft feel to them making it look just dreamy.
Typically I would not put this wreath outside but we have a deep covered porch so it should be no issue.
I added a simple cream satin ribbon that I layered 2 strands to make it more full and have extra strands hanging down. This is the easiest and most affordable way to change the look of a wreath from year to year.
I also updated my planters that I have here year-round. Last year I added UV-protected faux plants to my planters (tutorial and sources HERE) and each season just pop in some season faux plants to spruce them up.
The base plants stay the same and the colorful/seasonal ones get changed out every couple of months.
I love adding lanterns (similar) to my porch for just about any season. I have little remotes for the candles so it is easy to turn them on in the evenings to give the porch a beautiful glow.
This beautiful blue and white doormat is from our new online shop. It is super affordable and easily can transition from season to season.
It has a gorgeous geometric pattern making it a great modern addition to your front porch.

I love adding layers to any design to make it warm and fuller looking. That is no different for your front porch.
I have had these gold and white gift boxes for a couple of years now and have added to my collection each year. I use these before “santa’s” presents arrive to make the base of my Christmas tree look full but also added them to my front porch this year.
As I said above, our front porch is deep and covered so they generally don’t get touched by the weather.
Things to Know
- Blue and white Christmas porch decor can range from traditional and elegant to coastal, winter-inspired, or modern styles.
- Different shades of blue, such as navy, icy blue, cobalt, and powder blue, create different moods when paired with white.
- Greenery adds natural contrast to blue and white decorations and helps maintain a recognizable Christmas look.
- Silver, gold, or champagne metallic accents can complement a blue and white palette without becoming the dominant colors.
- Common decorations include wreaths, garlands, ribbons, ornaments, planters, lanterns, decorative trees, and seasonal pillows.
- White or warm white Christmas lights can affect how blue decorations appear, especially during evening hours.
- The existing colors of the front door, siding, porch furniture, and flooring can influence which shades of blue work best.
- Outdoor ribbons, ornaments, fabrics, and greenery should be suitable for exposure to rain, wind, snow, and changing temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with a blue and white Christmas porch?
Gold and natural green are the two best accent colors to add alongside blue and white. Gold adds warmth, while natural greenery brings contrast and a traditional seasonal touch.
How do I keep my faux wreath looking good on an outdoor porch?
The key is to hang it on a covered porch where it is protected from direct rain, wind, and prolonged sun exposure. Store it in a wreath bag or sturdy container after the season to help maintain its shape.
What kind of doormat works best for a blue and white Christmas porch?
A doormat with a geometric or classic pattern in blue and white is the most versatile and design-forward choice. Choose a durable outdoor material that can handle moisture, foot traffic, and winter weather.
How do I add height and dimension to a flat-looking front porch?
Use items at three distinct heights: something tall like a large planter or lantern, something mid-height like a stack of gift boxes, and something low like a doormat or small cluster of greenery. Varying the heights creates depth and helps the arrangement feel more balanced.
Can I use real plants alongside faux ones on a Christmas porch?
Yes, and mixing real and faux is actually one of the smartest ways to get a lush, realistic look without the high maintenance of going all-real. Use faux greenery as the base and add fresh pine, cedar, or holly for natural texture.
And that’s it my friends! Just a little decor can go a long way. I love how it pops from the street and our house Christmas lights just went up the other week so we are all set outside. Now onto the Christmas decor inside!
