It’s natural to focus most of your Christmas decorating on your home’s interior, especially the tree you set up in your family room, as that will become the centerpiece and focal point for the home.
But the outdoor Christmas decorations you choose for your home will make it more visible and will be apparent to those just passing through who might not get a chance to see what your vision has brought to life inside your home.
In addition, outdoor Christmas decorations will improve the look and feel of your neighborhood and larger community. What’s more, many of these are easy to put up. Here are 6 types to include in your outdoor decorating this upcoming season.
A Christmas Wreath on the Front Door
A Christmas wreath is just perfect for the front door and is one of the easiest and most straightforward outdoor Christmas decorations to set up.
There are many ways to decorate outdoor Christmas wreaths, too. Most standard doors are 36” wide, and a 30” wreath works best on these.
Once you have the wreath chosen, you can light it, add ribbons, picks, sprays, ornaments and other accents to add color and movement.
Remember, while a Christmas wreath is perfect for the front door you can also hang them on mailboxes, on garage doors, and on the side of your home or shed.
Outdoor Christmas Lights: Wrap the Trees
One of the most creative ways to decorate with outdoor Christmas lights is to wrap your trees (or use net lights on your bushes).
Tree wraps are easy to pull off and look stunning when you use large, bright lights like C9 Christmas lights. It’s a great way to add relief and ambient light to your other outdoor Christmas decorations, especially if you don’t light your home’s roof or ridgeline.
We’ve already published a helpful guide on this. For more information, see our previous post, Commercial Christmas Lights and Tree Wraps: Magical Display.
Hang Large Shatterproof Ornaments in the Trees
If your home has trees in the yard as part of the landscaping, one way to really make the trees pop with color is to hang large shatterproof ornaments from the branches. This technique will add color and sparkle to your trees even if you choose not to wrap them or otherwise light them.
Shatterproof ornaments are great for this purpose because they are highly durable and if they drop from the trees for any reason they will be very unlikely to break.
But, the other great thing about our shatterproof Christmas ornaments is that they are effectively indistinguishable from glass ornaments, adding to their visual appeal.
Christmas Inflatables
Christmas inflatables are an easy, cost-effective way to add a lot of light and color to your yard without too much work.
Most of them can be set up in mere moments and within minutes you can fill your yard with light and color that will captivate the attention of all passersby.
We also carry a variety of Christmas inflatables here that are unique and eye-catching, such as 10’, larger-than-life Snowmen and Santa’s Express Train that has a light effect that makes it appear as though the train is moving. Check them out in our full collection to learn more.
Another great thing about Christmas inflatables is that they are easy outdoor Christmas decorations to pack up and store, making them great for homes with limited storage space during the offseason.
Roofline Lighting
Roofline lighting is one of the most popular ways to decorate with Christmas lights outside in our area, and can be a great way to draw attention to your home as a focal point of your neighborhood. For more information, please see our previous post, Lighting Your Home's Ridgeline for an Eye-Catching Look.
Christmas LED Lights and Signs
We carry a variety of Christmas LED lights and signs, including commercial-grade LED Christmas decorations that are visually stunning, unique, and impressive in scale.
