Create A Comfortable Outdoor Living Room
As the nights draw in and the temperatures decrease, it is tempting to overlook your garden or porch until it warms up a little, however spending time outside, even in the cooler months, can feel so pleasant and festive that you will soon forget it is minus three degrees. So why not try out a beautiful outdoor decorating idea? I have constructed a warm outdoor living room that not only looks gorgeous with all the candles and fairy lights glittering but also serves as the ideal area to cuddle up with a glass of mulled wine. Regardless of the size of my outside space, I create the ideal ambiance for entertaining outside when the weather permits. Whether on a patio or in a garden nook, the goal is to treat it with the same attention as a dining room.Eat Your Meal Outside
I spent so much of last Christmas and wintertime drinking and dining outdoors, and it appears to be a tradition this year to set up the Christmas table outside. Now, I am not advocating you eat your entire meal outside. On a bright winter's day, though, getting my outdoor furniture set up in a holiday style with blankets and cushions, and of course, candles, adds all the cheer my garden requires. String fairy lights throughout the surrounding vegetation to make it even lovelier as the evening progresses. I do not forget about my outdoor space when it comes to decorating. I keep my festoon lit up from summer to winter, whether it is a view from my dining room or an outside experience I want to create.Add Fairy Lights to The Trees
Nothing surpasses fairy lights for outdoor decor since they are so simple but effective. And I believe that the more, the better. I frame my windows and doors, and I fill trees and hedges to make my house shine. My one bit of advice for going all out with fairy lights is to make sure they are of the same color. I immediately notice if my lights are changed, which throws off the overall effect. My best bet for achieving this is to buy all of my lights from the same brand to have color continuity.Add Festive Blossoms to The Doorstep
When it comes to outdoor design, a doorstep is valuable real estate; all of my guests, as well as my neighbors and me, will see it. So I would like my front door to be as magical as the decorations behind it. A wreath of some kind is required, but why stop there? I adore the wintery atmosphere I have created; it is festive, joyful, and tasteful, with a tiny Scandi edge. And who knew synthetic snow could be so stylish? You shall try it out.Light Up the Entrance With Many Lanterns
A classic aesthetic inspires me for a more minimalist approach to doorstop decor. I line my porch or steps with a slew of lamps. I mix and match the sizes and types to make them more of a focal point, and if I want to make it festive, I dot in some little trees. Because real candles are not the safest option for my home, I replace them with outdoor LED candles, which still emit a gorgeous glow but do not burn down and are far safer than a genuine flame.Chilly Branches Keep It Simple but Celebratory
When it comes to festive flourishes, less is more is not a phrase I use or promote. There is much to be said about a stylish, minimalist aesthetic. A gorgeously colored door, a white wreath, and a collection of snow-encrusted twigs and dried cotton stems are sometimes all that is required. It is also a look I can easily pull off. I go rummaging in my garden for a cluster of branches and twigs, which I either leave bare or spray with glitter to amp festive emotions.To Summarize
Lights are the simplest way to adorn the outside of our house holiday. They are simple, attractive, and quite effective. String them around your windows, from the roof, or in the trees; there is no such thing as too many. And there is the classic wreath, which should be on every door, but why not hang them at your windows as well? To add even more radiance to the front of your home, choose a pre-lit design or string lights through your DIY wreath.
