Natural & Neutral Christmas Porch

Welcome to a special Christmas porch holiday edition of our weekly Three Things series!

As I was shooting photos for our holiday home tour, I found myself with a LOT more pictures than I wanted to bombard you all with in one post. And since our simple, natural and neutral Christmas decoration are some of my favorite things, sharing more today seemed a perfect fit.

Today I am concentrating on our Christmas porch decor, which is simple to recreate and I hope inspires you in your own decorating!

Easy Natural Christmas Porch Ideas

Why do I love our Christmas porch decorations? They are nothing ‘special’ and I didn’t spend more than a few minutes on them (not more than 30, to be exact) – and those were mostly spent gathering the greens from around the yard.

And THAT’S why I love it! I’m not a fan of over-the-top decor – for me. I don’t want to spend the money, time, or energy, let alone store it all after Christmas is over.

So I use many of the same things from last year, like the sled and chalkboard pot, and add simple cut greens, a few ornaments, burlap ribbon, and our regular lights. It makes me happy and looks pretty festive, I think!

I was inspired to add antlers from the stash my stepdad gave me after seeing an example very similar to how mine turned out in a magazine – for $49!

My wreath was $10 (the only thing I purchased new for the porch this year) and while it’s not flashy I like how it ties into our theme this year.

I don’t think I’m quite done with it, though – I’m thinking about adding a couple wood slice ornaments hanging from the middle – what do you think?

This is a fast idea for bare-looking pots for your Christmas porch that I’ve seen in a lot of magazines:

Cover the bare soil with greenery (I used dwarf laurel leaves) and add a few ornaments on top. Done and done!

Do you decorate your porch/stoop/deck for Christmas? How much time do you like to spend?
