Your front door and entryway set the tone for your entire holiday decor. Here's how to make a stunning impression with our Expert Tips & Tricks for Decorating ~ Your Entryway:

1. Frame the Door with Garland


  • Choose a full, pre-lit garland for elegance

  • Accent with ornaments, bows, or pinecones to match your holiday theme

  • Add twinkling fairy lights for extra warmth and glow


2. Hang a Statement Wreath or Teardrop Sconce


  • Opt for a large, well-decorated wreath that complements your door color

  • Layer with ribbon, floral picks, and ornaments for a designer look

  • Use a sturdy, weatherproof hook to keep it secure


3. Add Festive Accents to Your Entryway


  • Arrange lanterns with LED candles on either side of the door

  • Include seasonal doormats or oversized nutcrackers for charm

  • If space allows, place small Christmas trees or potted holiday plants near the entrance

  • If you have a ledge above your door, try adding some window candles (I use those that have timers so they turn on and off the same time each day) Hint: QVC has some nice ones.


Pro Tip: Keep your entryway décor cohesive with the rest of your home’s holiday styling for a seamless, elegant look.
