Let's get started! I traditionally use neutral colors to decorate indoors for Christmas, but outdoors I love to incorporate brighter colors. With a few essential holiday items from Home Decorators Collection, I was able to pull together a festive and welcoming space both quickly and affordably (win-win!).
Check out our red and green front porch all decked out for Christmas!
Not only is this space festive and welcoming, but it was also easy and quick to put up. To keep things simple, I opted for faux greenery that is pre-lit and came with ornaments already attached (so easy!)
Home Decorators Collection has so many beautiful greenery sets, but I instantly fell in love with the Martha Stewart Magnolia and Ornaments Garland and coordinating Magnolia and Ornaments Wreath and Magnolia and Ornaments Entrance Tree because of the gorgeous magnolia leaves and classic red ornaments. They are so striking in person. But the best part is they all pre-lit with the ornaments attached so when they arrived, they were ready to go!
I added red and gold shatterproof ornaments in outdoor lanterns to give the space a cheery and festive feel. One of my favorite tricks for decorating with lanterns during the holidays is to add a little greenery to the top of the lantern using floral wire. It's a simple (and free!) way to add a pop of color.
I've always loved the vintage look of antique sleds, so I was giddy when my father-in-law gave us this sled from his childhood. I still have plans to sand and paint it, but for now we are enjoying it just as it is :) To add a little Christmas pizzazz, I added a medium-sized green floral swag from Michaels and three gold bells that I found in the ornament section at Target.
The seating area on the porch also got a Christmas makeover with a pair of red and green plaid pillows and ornaments and the Martha Stewart Magnolia and Ornaments entrance tree and matching wreath. I hung the wreath with a command hook and was done! :)
