Grandin Road's extra-large fiberglass jewelry is whimsical and eye-catching. Children can imagine that they have fallen from the giant's Christmas tree, while adults can enjoy bold, eye-catching patterns. 

When this tree from Home Depot is placed near the front door, it will bring home this season in a warm way. Keep it simple by emphasizing natural greenery, or try boldly by adding colorful spotlights and decorations.

The powder-coated deer silhouette has an amazing effect on the seasonal decoration scheme of the front yard, especially against the snowy background.

Temppaper’s Christmas Village decals can be affixed on any smooth surface. They will make an interesting vignette on the front window or door, and it is easy to remove and there is no residue. 

Home Depot’s Polar Wishes series includes glowing white deer and sleigh dolls.

Traditional front door decorations include decorating the front door or wrapping the railing with luminous garlands.

As we know, during the pandemic, home becomes more important to many of us, which means outdoors and indoors. This holiday season, designers and retailers put forward proposals to update windows, doors and yard decorations. 

Trends include sustainability, naturalness and comfort.

Interior designer John Douglas Eason (John Douglas Eason) appreciates such a season, in this season, "excessive" is often just what is needed.

"But having said that, I like subtle holiday designs that blend in with nature and keep the tone. I like monochrome gourds with rough branches and fresh green plants," he said.

Eason suggested using lamps to illuminate the sidewalk, "I have been thinking about the idea of ​​connecting them with thick garlands and woodland elements. 

"I really think that a more natural holiday design is definitely the focus of this season."

He pointed out that when the holidays are over, recyclable decorations can return to nature, "and help ensure a safer planet for future generations."

Professional organizer Shira Gill's new book "Minimalista" (Ten Speed ​​Press) provides sorting tips and also recommends biodegradable methods. String popcorn and cranberry garlands on window frames or railings, or use tree decorations or fallen branches to make front door garlands. 

"When the new year comes, these may all enter the compost bin," she said.

If going to a comfortable cabin is more desirable and not feasible, you can still experience the atmosphere of a cabin. A few birch logs are placed in galvanized steel or enamel flower pots, and pine or cedar branches and some artificial or real moss are spread on the pot. Whether or not with a warm fairy light, it will look very attractive.

Peel and paste detachable decals to dress up the front door or window facing the street. Tempaper's white Christmas village wall decal set provides you with pine trees, deer, various buildings and a series of stars to create a silhouette scene.

Grandin Road also has a silhouette theme, with powder-coated metal deer and mountains.

Home Depot’s Polar Wishes series includes a group of illuminated white deer in different poses, as well as a combination of sleigh and deer. A slender white lantern tree looks charming on the porch of the city or the courtyard of the suburbs.

Instead of the usual wreaths, hang a set of Terrain leather and silver sleigh bells.

Nicole Fisher of BNR Interiors likes to blend time-tested Christmas colors with fresh twists.

"This year my palette will be green and red with black and white accents," she said. "I like the traditional concept of black and white, but I also like its surprise during the holidays. Small doses of harlequins and checkered prints, used for decorations or decorative accents, suitable for indoor and outdoor use."

She likes the green magnolia leaf garland on the top and the rich burgundy red on the fluffy bottom.

"They are my favorite to use because they hit the snow blanket," Fisher said. "They are also very hardy, can last the whole season, and always look fresh."

If you can't buy a magnolia flower ring locally, Food52 Express is fresh and beautiful. In Etsy, Jamali Garden and West Elm, there are also cute man-made versions that you can decorate with additional green, red or copper magnolia branches.

A garland of various green plants can warm the appearance of the railing or frame the doorway. Let them come naturally, or add metallic elements and trinkets to your overall theme.

If you don’t have an outdoor plug nearby, Lowe's 9-foot colorful wreath is battery-powered. Set a timer and the lights will turn on and off at the same time every night. There is also a 24-inch wreath with the same function.

Why not bathe the front door in festive colors?

"This may sound extreme," said Leigh Spicher, national design director for residential developer Ashton Woods. "But you can paint the front door to match the season, especially when your home is neutral. So this It means you can have a red or green door for the holidays and then repaint it in bright yellow for spring."

Gil's aesthetic is minimalist, but striking. "Arouse all senses," she suggested. "Projecting holiday images on your front door-think of a snowy winter wonderland, or a slideshow of your favorite holiday memories." 

Like Eason, she likes the idea of ​​spreading lanterns or tall white candles on the sidewalk to achieve "a stylish and simple look, but still feel festive and cute."

LightShow’s Projection SnowStorm set up an 8-foot-wide snowstorm, dancing in front of the house. Another version has lightly falling snow within 30 feet. 

Although winter white is great for a modern look, Eason said that adding color to the scheme can make it "fresh in the 2020s." 

"Use vintage ornaments to add brilliance to your modern design, or add gorgeous velvet ribbons to teal, purple, or delicious chocolate brown," he said.

Peach pink is another popular holiday shade with bright and blush shades.

For Hanukkah, Wayfair has fabric doors and garage murals printed with blue, white and silver symbols and greetings. 

The bright oversized fiberglass ornaments on Grandin Road look like they fell from the giant's Christmas tree. Or keep it small: At Lowe's, those handy small solar stick lights that you place on the ground around the garden or sidewalk have been given holiday outfits with candy cane stripes and snow caps.

Inflatable decoration may not be suitable for everyone, but if you have young children, it is hard to ignore the joy of seeing a huge character on the front lawn. Lowe's has favorites from Toy Story, Frozen, Grinch, Peanuts and Star Wars. Home Depot has a huge Millennium Falcon, inflatable sledges, trees,

You can walk through Santa Claus, snowman and gingerbread house and enjoy the indoor holiday fun.
