From Christmas trees to trailing tinsel, twinkling lights to table decorations, there are plenty of ways we can get our homes looking festive as we prepare for the run-up to the Big Day.
And although we have plenty of visitors to entertain indoors, it’s always lovely to treat neighbours and passersby to a beautiful festive scene when walking past your door. So, why not start your festive exterior design scheme early by creating your own winter wonderland outdoors?
To help bring some Christmas sparkle to the entrance of your home, the experts at Eurocell Home are here to offer some festive front door tips to make your home the shining star of your street throughout the Christmas season.
A touch of winter accessorising
The inside of your home may be your prime focus whilst in the throes of your Christmas decorating. But we believe that just as much attention should be on the front of the home, particularly when there’s a chance to ‘show off’ over the festive season.
And one of the easiest ways to instantly bring the festive spirit to your home is by introducing a range of winter accessories that scream ‘Christmas’. We’ll later highlight the changes you can make to your front door, but before that, it’s important to ‘set the scene’ by adding your favourite colours of the season to our entrance spaces.
Firstly, let’s start with the doorstep. If you have a large enough space outside of your front door, you can look to add a range of foliage including potted shrubs or even small Christmas trees to really capture the feeling of the season. By adding shatter-proof baubles, ribbons, bows, or even some twinkly lights, you can really give your home an added hint of festive spirit.
The size of the decorations is completely up to your personal style or exterior design scheme you’ve got planned out – whether you prefer delicate, dainty decorations or want to opt for big and bold baubles and trees, the possibilities are endless.
And don’t forget adding lighting around your door frame or porch is a lovely way to put your property in the Christmas spirit. With an array of colours, shapes and sized string lights, you can easily get a product that suits your design scheme and helps to tie together your Christmas scene effortlessly.
Work those windows
Whilst preparing your entrance, it’s also important to utilise your window space to help bring a sense of warmth to the outside of your home.
If you’d prefer to steer clear of having lights outdoors, you could utilise your window space by placing candles or string lights around the internal window frame to create a beautiful effect for passersby.
Placing decorative ornaments on your windowsill will also help to make your home look appealing from both the inside and out, helping to really capture the Christmas spirit.
And don’t forget, if you’ve invested in beautiful PVC-U windows from Eurocell Home, you can even enjoy the benefit of a beautiful home exterior, whatever the season. With A-rated energy efficiency alongside a range of styles and colours, why not give yourself the perfect gift this year and treat yourself to a window upgrade to enter the new year in style.
Adorn your front door
Now, once you’ve set the scene of your winter wonderland, it’s the perfect time to turn your focus to create your festive front door. A front door wreath has long been a tradition us Brits have followed, with just a flourish of foliage helping your home to step into Christmas.
And today, you don’t need to stay traditional with your festive front door wreath – there are so many creative options and step by step guides to create your very own garland. From including bells and big bows to beautiful baubles, you can really create a show-stopping entrance to your home to either match your Christmas design scheme or the exterior of your home.
To really boost your front door in the style stakes, we would recommend picking out the colour of your front door and utilising these hues in your garland to really tie the whole look together.
Gift your home a new front door
But of course, you couldn’t create a warm, welcoming entrance space if your front door is looking worse for wear. So, maybe, as we approach the new year, you could look to give your home the gift of a new front door to really boost your home in the style stakes?
Delicate, soft calm hues are the colours to look out for in 2022, with the ‘Dulux Colour of the Year’ being ‘Bright Skies’, a fresh tone that helps to “breathe new life into any space”.
With this in mind, you could look to invest in a new front door for the new year. Eurocell Home doors come a range of colours, including soft hues named ‘Frost White’, ‘Duck Egg Blue’ or ‘Chartwell Green’, to capture the colour trends of the new year. With a new front door, your home will certainly be the cherry on the cake of a beautiful festive scene, and with matching accessories, decorations and foliage, you’ll be the envy of everyone in your street.
