CHRISTMAS FRONT PORCH DECOR
CHRISTMAS FRONT PORCH DECOR IDEAS
The holidays are just around the corner and that means we need some Christmas front porc h decor ideas! There is no reason to keep the cuteness stuck in the inside of the house. Decorating the front porch lets everyone know that you love Christmas and provides cheer for the whole neighborhood!
Christmas decorating is so fun. I pick a theme each year and add it all over my house – inside and outside. Because of this, I have lots of items from years past that I can use over and over again. You will often find me taking old decor items apart to create new ones. And because of this, I can keep decorating for the holidays cheap and on budget.
This year’s theme is “Candy Land”. I have a white tree and I will be creating lots of bright and colorful pieces to scatter on the tree and around the house. And, as you might guess, the next picture is my absolute favorite and I will be using this theme as inspiration.

DIY CHRISTMAS FRONT PORCH DECOR
The front porch provides a lot of different areas to decorate. The front door, railings, planters and boxes, chairs and tables are all a blank canvas for decor. You can go keep the decorations cheap and within budget if you make some of them yourself.
Other inexpensive sources for Christmas decorations for the front porch are Hobby Lobby, Michaels, thrift stores, and yard sales. Even if you do not purchase anything at the craft store, you will find tons of creative ideas.
Shopping at thrift stores and yard sales might mean that you need to plan ahead. Knowing what you are looking for early helps as you find things to collect. Keep in mind that you can use chalk paint for the colors you are looking for. Small furniture items, picture frames, planters, glass or metal jars, and wood pieces can all be painted to suit the style you are looking for.
Also, be sure to shop your craft room or craft storage for items like ribbon, fabric, paint, containers, wreath bases, and flowers that can be used, even if it is only the color you like.

FARMHOUSE CHRISTMAS FRONT PORCH DECOR
If you are chalk painting items for your front porch, it is a good idea to add a clear coat to your pieces. This will help to keep the paint from flaking when it rains or snows.
Your garage or shed is also a good source of items for a Farmhouse Christmas look. Antique and vintage goods can be repurposed for your front porch decor. And don’t let a little rust or chipped paint scare you off as it contributes to the farmhouse look (see the wagon in the above picture).
I have a very small porch, but someday I hope to have a porch with a seating area. Chairs and tables are perfect spots for seasonal pillows and blankets to create splashes of color.
Railings, posts and beams are a great place to add lights, swags, and greenery. Or be like me and go a little crazy and add lights to the greenery! This is such a cozy, homey look.

CHRISTMAS FRONT PORCH DECOR
You will notice in the picture above that there is no reason to keep the Christmas tree decorations inside the house. You can hang them from the porch and place them in baskets and planters to add lots of color for the season.
Repurposing and reusing is a great way to save money on front porch decor and stay on budget. If you put your mind to it, you will come up with lots of ideas for repurposing items!
