Creative Christmas Front Porch Ideas

1. | Garlands & Greenery Holiday Decor

A small entryway can still make a big statement. A fresh pine wreath makes a stunning centerpiece for this lush garland vignette. Invest in fragrant garland, fresh cedar bushes, and a holiday cheery door arrangement. Big impact with minimal effort.

2. | Treasured Nostalgia

A treasured and thrifty pair of antique skates cast a nostalgic glow. Touches of classic winter red berries and weathered chair provide welcome punches of red holiday decor.

3. | Elegant White Lights

Simplicity reigns supreme for this wintry small porch design. Traditional white lights enhance the fairy-garden feeling cultivated by lush greens draping from doorways, baskets and windows. Understated details like gold bells, dainty ribbons, and a sparkling ball of twine hint at the magic of the season.

4. | Simple Christmas Greenery

Understated elegance allows natural elements to shine in this French inspired doorway. Lavish cedar wreaths and garland twinkle with white lights.

5. | TRIUMPHANT TOPIARIES

A traditional porch seating area that’s practical and perfect in every way! Faux boxwood topiaries are an excellent for winter porch decor and can last beyond December. I also love the wintery pillows that work for both holidays and winter.

6. | Christmas Present Topiary

Customize your holiday porch decor with a DIY Christmas Present Topiary. The result is a whimsical Whoville-inspired porch that will wow your neighbors for seasons to come.

Front area not covered? Don’t fret. Substitute paper wrapping supplies for vinyl tablecloths for a weather-proof version.

7. | Make Your Own Affordable Topiary

Don’t let your budget boss you around! In the land of DIY all things are possible. A pre-lit evergreen topiary similar to this one retails for $75 on average. Follow this simple tutorial to make your own. Add string lights, baubles, or pinecones to make it merry!

8. | Pick a Cool Theme

Choose a theme to build on. This little red truck motif was inspired by a Christmas tree ornament! The iconic vintage truck provides nostalgia and a bold pop of color that plays off of the red berries on the presents.

9.| Natural and Sophisticated

I love the cozy layered effect that this wreath and garland create. Varied textures and heights create a warm welcome without overwhelm. The blue berries compliment seasonal greens and the blue entryway door quite handsomely. Golden classic reindeer bring it to life. Best of all, this theme is easy to enhance and remodel in future years.

10.| Colorful and Festive Christmas Porch

This festive front porch was inspired by the family room Christmas tree. It’s like a sneak peek! Scarves, plaids, and pops of red are cheerful against neutrals. But it’s the oversized DIY grapevine wreath with red berries and ribbon that nearly steals the show for me.

11. | Wintery Lodge Christmas Porch Decorations

Inspired by a set of rummage sale snowshoes, this Vintage Lodge Inspired Porch radiates charm. I especially love the front porch Christmas tree farm.

Fill existing planters, urns, or buckets with potting soil and “plant” some mini trees. Genius! Baskets of logs and a throw blanket on the bench complement the cozy vibe.

12. | Rustic Christmas Porch Welcome

Something bold, something subdued. Something repurposed, something new. A black buffet is the perfect backdrop for this cozy garden inspired front porch. Fresh and faux winter greens pop against a red and black design scheme.

Primitive details like burlap, antique garden tools, and rustic lanterns pair nicely with simple white houses. Grab a throw blanket and a cup of Joe and make yourself cozy on a bench.

13. | Vintage Vibes Christmas Porch Decorations

This vintage porch vignette is a frugal gal’s design dream come true. There are lots of tutorials for every DIY project in her Christmas porch decor from DIY custom signs to ornament lanterns.

14. | Thrifty Christmas Porch Idea

A porch filled with repurposed treasures gets a seasonal makeover thanks to pops of red and artfully arranged accessories. Investing in a nice faux wreath can be worth every penny when it sits center stage of your outdoor decor. The details pop against a charming chest of drawers.

15. | Classic Black and White

Black and white with no red or green in sight? This DIY black and white front porch sign sets the scene for a Christmas porch design that breaks tradition. Hanging metal snowflakes dance with the winter winds, while the front door wreath mimics the touches of whimsy.

16. | A Sign that Sleighs

Send Santa a message with this NorthPole Inspired Sign tutorial. Would you believe this adorable front porch sign is created from upcycled fan blades!? Create a custom keepsake to add to your Christmas decor collection for about $10.

17. | Rustic Tree Farm Warmth

This rustic tree farm sign sets the scene for an inviting entry. Firewood logs and fragrant loose greens fill a jaunty red sleigh that was found tossed in a trash pile. You know what they say, one man’s trash…

18. | Time Honored Traditions

It’s tough to top a traditional farmhouse porch all decked out for Christmas. Add a light dusting of snow, a mug of hot cocoa, and cue the Hallmark movies.

Simple window wreaths and flocked garland are Christmas traditions while plaid patterns and red accents add the feeling of nostalgia. A mammoth stack of firewood suggests warm nights cuddled up by the fire admiring snowflakes noshing on Christmas cookies. Perhaps I could just teleport myself there right now?

19. | Warmth & Hospitality

Won’t you come and sit a spell? Southerners take hospitality and their front porch decor very seriously. There are certain “rules” of engagement when decorating a traditional Southern porch.

20. | Round Welcome Sign

A wreath may be considered traditional, but this stunning Front door sign perfectly sets the mood and is unexpected and really pops while conforming to the matching doormat and color scheme.
