When decorating for Christmas, you can work with the different elements of your yard that are already in place and enhance them with simple but effective decor options.
Lights:
- Using your deck railings and fence for lights is a great way to bring out the holiday spirit. You can twist cord lights around the railings and drape them over your fence to achieve a subtle but powerful look. String lights are elegant and provide just the right element of illumination to make your backyard light up.
- Go for multi-colored twinkle lights to really show your love of Christmas. You can twist these into garland around posts, railings, or your fence posts. Hang them in trees or shrubbery for a more colorful look to your garden. You’ll love how these beautiful lights will create a hue of color over your entire yard.
Garlands:
- Pine needle garlands will add to the natural look of your backyard. These garlands can hang on your fence as valances or off patio rails and even gazebos. They are simple to hang and twist around to achieve the look you’re going for.
- Use garlands of different colors if you want to add bursts of color to your yard. You can create characters, designs, or even wreaths to make your yard pop with Christmas spirit. Hang some in trees and shrubbery to add a little glitter to your outdoor space.
Candles:
- Decorate some small jars and put tea lights in them to be hung in a tree or off your fence. You can even place some on your deck railings. Use red, green, or gold bows to make them stand out.
- Get some pillar candles to place in painted wine bottles. Illumination from inside the bottles will add a classy look to your backyard.
