That
most magical of seasons has almost approached. It’s time to deck the halls
again. And that also includes giving the exterior of your home a makeover. You
can make the outside of your home as ready for the holiday as the inside with
the following most amazing ideas.
As
you explore your festive options, you’ll find there’s a lot more out there than
the old string of multi-colored lights. It only takes a little imagination to
liven things up dramatically. Here are some of the ways to inspire your holiday
spirit.
WINTERY WALKWAY
The
famous quote goes, “You’ll never get a second chance to create a good first
impression”. The same rule applies to your house. If you’re hosting any holiday
party this year, why not light up the stairs or path to your house with candles
placed in old wine bottles or, even better, protected from the wind in glass
hurricane lanterns. Rocks, red berries, pruned evergreens and magnolia leaves
add a festive touch and make an excellent first impression.
LIGHT UP THE TREE
Bring the
stars down to earth with the delicate and lovely lights. Get over the same,
repetitive way. Rather than copying everyone else in your neighborhood and just
throwing a string of lights over your tree, try decorating a few balls or cones
instead with twinkly white lights and placing those in the branches. The cones
in the image are made from old tomato cages! They add a touch of seasonal
brightness even in climates that might not have any snow.
EYE CATCHY WREATHS
Christmas
Wreaths can adorn any part of your home, be it inside or outside. An
eye-catching wreath is the best way to make the outdoors of your home merry and
bright. There are so many options when it comes to these festive decorations.
If you’re feeling crafty you could make your own wreath like the one above,
composed of different size yarn balls, or you could purchase a ready-made
evergreen wreath and add some small embellishments like this small cluster of
yarn balls seen on the image.
SNOW MEN
Snow,
Ice and Christmas often go together. We live in a place, where spotting a snow
men is not so common, hence our love for making snow people, out of things that
aren’t snow is not much unusual. Easy to make terracotta snow man can be done
in a day and doesn’t leave a pile of brown slush on your porch, even when it
gets warm. Similarly, picket fence snow men also offers the same benefit,
doesn’t melt and can be reused again.
WOOD LOG ILLUMINARIES
Luminaries
have a long, multicultural history. But at the center of all the traditions is
one simple notion -- lighting the way in the dark of winter. If you have Aspen
(or other tree) logs laying around, you can use them for a nice arrangement
like this. Perfect for your cabin, cottage, ranch, house, condo, apartment or
flat. Perfect for any place you call home.
WINDOWSCAPES
If
you live in a loft, you don’t tend to put a lot of accent on decorating your
windows for Christmas. If you live in a house there is a whole different story!
Windows are always important and decorating them is a great idea, something
that cannot be overlooked. Use cut-out reindeer, stars or snowflakes and attach
them to the inside of your window frame to protect them from the elements. Make
sure to choose neutral shapes or silhouettes that read well from both inside
and outside.
LIGHT IT UP WITH CHRISTMAS BALLS
Christmas
light balls are extremely popular outdoor Christmas decorations that are unique
in appearance. Many times found in holiday light shows, botanical gardens, and
other elegant displays. Light balls are actually easy to make with just a few
supplies. All you need is a chicken wire, small wire cutters, a measuring tape,
gloves, and LED mini lights.
