10 ways to decorate your home's exterior for the holidays

By: Jessica Alcock

Decorating for the holidays doesn't just happen inside the house. Here, our favourite festive front doors we found from scouring Pinterest and our very own home tour archives.

Evergreen wreaths are suspended by sage green ribbon in every window, and strands of garland drape off the porch railing and around the door frame for a festive countryside look.

String lights add a touch of whimsy to this entrance that features rustic elements like evergreen wreaths, teal green doors and metal accents.

Tired of hanging Christmas lights from your roof? Go the simple Scandi route and hang a strand of garland instead.

On this veranda, planters gush with evergreens, ivy, holly, blue thistle and faux blueberry branches, as well as moss green and blue ribbons, and match the wreath that hangs on the beautiful wood.

From the strands of garland and the piles of chopped wood to the wooden beams of the house and the friendly greeter in the foreground, this home is straight out of our cozy Christmas dreams.

This entrance is accented with handsome elements like a woven runner and natural arrangements in rustic urns.

While the small Christmas tree and piles of snow give this home a natural holiday aesthetic, the rustic lantern takes this entryway to a magical new level.

Live in a townhouse complex? Make your home stand out by painting your door a bold paint colour, such as millennial pink or glossy black, and add a simple green wreath for a festive touch.
