How can I decorate the outside of my house for Christmas?
Whether your outdoor space is a city-side balcony, a lush green garden, or a simple courtyard, decorating the outside of your home for the festive season is an excellent way to spread the cheer.
Firstly, it’s important to consider:
- Access to electricity
- Walkways, landscaping, and driveways
- Surfaces to decorate
- Windows, railings, doorways and stairs
Once you have successfully strategized, let the fun begin! A box of LED lights is always a great place to start, especially for those with access to railings and stairs. Next, have a think about the aesthetic you are setting out to achieve. If you are working towards a more traditional setup, then maybe a pair of velvet red ribbons would be the perfect piece.
