How to Create a Posh Holiday Porch
5 simple ways to deck out your porch this holiday
1. Brush Up On Basics
Add warmth (and insurance against slips and falls!) by adding a coco mat runner. Swap in new, modern address numbers to instantly transform your front door.
2. Celebrate With Style
Avoid being predictable by hanging a long-lasting, industrial-style 3D star on your door instead of a wreath.
3. Boost Your Greenery
Give your porch some winter oomph by filling an urn or planter with a small, faux evergreen, complete with ornaments.
4. Let There Be Light
Bring your landscaping to life during drab winter weather by highlighting key features with white string lights. Line the steps with hurricane lanterns with LED pillar candles dropped inside.
5. Add Colour and Ingenuity
Wrap the banister in eucalyptus with blue Mardi Gras beads (you can get them at dollar stores or fabric trip shops) woven through it. Insider Tip: Unlike evergreen, eucalyptus leaves don't drop and they keep their colour and shape for weeks.
