Decorating Outside Door For Christmas
House Beautiful/Mark Scott
Christmas is coming, and while all attention is typically on decorating your tree, don't forget about the exterior of your home. The front door sets the tone for your entire home (first impressions and all that) and the festive season is no exception, so we've rounded up some great Christmas door decorations for your abode.
However Christmas will look this year, up your kerb appeal, wow your neighbours and create a wonderfully festive entrance – and we don't mean going OTT with flashing lights and inflatables (although, you should always decorate to your heart's content).
Tapping into Instagram's growing doorscaping trend, read on for expert tips on how to spruce up your front entrance, plus Christmas door decoration ideas to help you style your outdoor space.
1 Red front door
Father Christmas knows a thing or two about colour that captures the spirit of the season and makes people feel in the holiday mood.
Planning a festive door makeover? Repainting your front door is a great way to transform the look of your house, and the perfect colour to choose if you want a change in time for Christmas is Cranberry Crunch, says Marianne Shillingford, creative director at Dulux.
'Vibrant reds in a high gloss finish look amazing on a front door and you can let the colour do all the talking with a contrasting simple green foliage wreath which will definitely get the thumbs up from the elves and your neighbours.'

Christmas door wreath
notonthehighstreet.com
Make your own homemade wreath – it's far more rewarding and much easier than you think. Plus, it's a great winter's day activity for the whole family to get involved in.
The great news is that you can easily get your hands on DIY wreath kits, from Notonthehighstreet to Etsy, supplying you with all the materials to create a door wreath in whatever style you wish.
Alternatively, you could create one using the following items: florist wire (or you could even use an old wire coat hanger), plus ivy, mistletoe, holly and a ribbon.

3 Grey front door
Maybe a red front door is not quite for you. But how about the ever versatile grey?
'Grey shades are also a great choice if you're looking for a colour which will shine all year round, and a cool tone such as Gallant Grey looks brilliant offset by Christmas' red and green palette,' says Marianne Shillingford.

Pot grown Christmas tree
If you have the space, go full festive and add a Christmas tree. You can buy a small Christmas tree to sit near your front door, whether that's on the steps or in your front garden.
This pot-grown Christmas tree from B&Q varies in size, between 2.6ft and 3.3ft (you can also get this delivered straight to your door with a socially distanced door drop).
'Real trees (even a cute little one if you haven't the space for a whopper) love being outside and if your door faces the sun, you can use solar fairy lights and lanterns to add extra sparkle once the sun goes down,' adds Marianne Shillingford.
