Quick & Easy Holiday Entry Ideas for Your Home

We all like to embrace the Christmas season, welcome the holidays and decorate for almost any reason. Follow these tips to make fast and easy changes to your entry that will have a lasting impact on visitors.

• Switching from autumn decor to holiday trimmings can be done in a snap. Wreaths can be traditional evergreen, left bare or trimmed with festive touches for the holidays.
• Replace window boxes with evergreen cuttings, adding holly berries for a complementary “pop”.
• Create vignettes outside your house that pay homage to the season. Red or green cushions in outdoor fabric can comfy up an outdoor bench. Flank the bench with pots of pinecones or boxwood cuttings for a pretty holiday setting.
• Arrange pine boughs in window boxes or planters for a festive welcome.
• Top urns or planters with large pine cones for a simple yet classic look. Intertwine them with mini white Christmas lights for extra holiday sparkle.
• Topiaries are a traditional, somewhat formal holiday accessory. Left bare or decorated with lights, framing the front door with a pair of these holiday stand-ins is a sure hit.
• Drape a front porch or outline the front door with a garland of spruce, cedar or boxwood for a festive, welcoming touch.
