Porch Décor Tips and Ideas
A snow-free Christmas doesn’t have to be any less festive. Here are some themes and ideas to guide you.
Evoke Southern Charm
Create a cozy, southern-style porch with greenery, white lights, and classic red and white accents. Add comfortable cushions in holiday patterns and other lightweight, soft furnishings to rocking chairs or porch benches.
Go All Out With Lights
Place trendy wire or twig Christmas trees pre-lit with LED lights to give your porch a welcoming glow. String solar-powered Christmas lights and lanterns across the rafters or around porch railings to illuminate the area at night. Explore rustic wicker and wire pre-lit sculptures in holiday designs, as these suit outdoor displays in warmer weather.
Try Tropical Themes
Take advantage of the sunshine-filled vibe and consider rustic, nautical, or floral themes. Decorate an outdoor Christmas tree with in-season blooms, or use succulents or Christmas cacti done up with lights for a fun take on Christmas greenery.
Warm Climate Holiday Decorations
Dress up your porch or deck with a combination of these Christmas accents.
Coastal-Themed Décor
Perfect for beach houses, Christmas balls in ocean hues and sea creature ornaments make the perfect warm-weather holiday décor. Add them to plain garlands or door wreaths, or fill lanterns or hurricanes with them to use as a cheerful accent.
Festive Foliage
Bright green foliage with white and gold accents complements the warmth and brightness of the weather. Choose wreaths and garlands with cypress, eucalyptus, or other vibrant greenery to help your foliage stand out.
Solar-Powered Lanterns
Lanterns provide a cozy glow while serving a functional purpose at night. Consider energy-saving solar-powered fairy lights in large floor lanterns or hurricanes on your porch steps to guide your guests up to your front door.
Bright Blooms
Embrace vibrant holiday foliage and let them brighten up your warm and sunny front porch during the festive season. Potted poinsettias are perfect for Christmas.
Minimalist Lighted Décor
Add a little sparkle to your porch décor with lighted decorations. The minimalist design doesn’t overwhelm the space but still gives a nod to the festiveness of the holiday season.
