Keep It Understated

For a front porch holiday display that's equal parts festive and chic, decorate a tree with metallic ornaments, hang a garland around the door, and make it glow with string lights. Emily Henderson also gave this front porch a seasonal update with a plaid doormat.

Turn It Into a Winter Wonderland

Charlotte Moss's Manhattan townhouse gets the full holiday decorating treatment, which includes the patio, even if guests won't even set foot out there. She made the outdoor fireplace as welcome as possible by hanging whimsical Spanish moss on the trees and a large wreath. "Step outside and it feels like you're entering the world of Narnia," she says.

Keep a Sense of Humor

Here's another decor detail from Charlotte Moss's holiday patio we couldn't help but include. If you have any outdoor statues like this one, make them a little merrier by staging them with cedar, winterberries, seeded eucalyptus, and pinecones.

Include Santa

Put up a "letters to Santa" mailbox so your kids can drop them to be sent to the North Pole. Consider swapping out your welcome mat, too.

Go Simple But Chic

Obvious, but needs to be said: A simple wreath looks clean and tasteful, but still seasonally on point.

Update Summer Staples

Why stop at one wreath when you can have two? Then update a summery adorondack chair by throwing a plaid blanket over it.

Decorate Your Outdoor Fireplace

Your outdoor fireplace deserves the same treatment as your indoor mantel. Deck it out with a garland, then place a bowl of red fruits near it for a color pop.

Antiques always have such a charm to them. If you have an old sled lying around, lean it against the wall next to your front door this Christmas.

Bring Presents Outside

And to take it one step further...

Presents? Under the indoor tree? Overrated. This year, let your porch get in on the action. If you don't want snow to melt through your actual presents, just wrap up old shoeboxes for the look and reuse them again next year.

Stagger Lanterns

Flank the front door with a ton of lanterns, then fill them with real or flameless candles (the latter is safest, of course). The more the merrier.

Don't Forget the Backyard

You don't only have to show love to the front porch! Bring the cozy vibes to the backyard with plenty of cushions and plush throws around a fire pit. Then hang cafe string lights. This look from Bon Traveler is stylish and understated enough to keep up throughout the season.
