It’s hard to believe that it’s 3 weeks until Christmas and Hannukah, and then Kwanzaa. No matter what you celebrate or you simply want to make your house look festive, here are some tips for decorating the outside of your house for the holidays.
Choose Your Focal Point
Before you start decorating, you want to choose your focal point. This will help you build your theme for your home’s holiday décor. A lot of people choose a front door or front porch as their focal point, using some lights on the railing, a beautiful wreath, or maybe even a fake tree outside.
Keep the Décor Simple
Some people go all out like they’re Clark Griswold. There are some homeowners who put a ton of stuff on their front lawn. This can look nice or it can look overdone. Not only that, but it can also be dangerous for drivers. Start out small and if you want, you can always add to it.
Choose Your Lights Carefully
When you are looking for lights for outside, make sure that it’s rated to be used outside. If you haven’t bought holiday lights for a while, there are a lot of options out there that you can choose from. If you have trouble finding the right ones, you can also ask employees at the store what they recommend.
Be Safe While Decorating
Make sure that you are safe while you are putting up your decorations. If you have to get up on a ladder, make sure that you have a person spotting you so that you are safe.
These are four tips that you can use when you are decorating your home’s exterior for the holidays. Enjoy the season and be safe!
