16 Stunning Front Door Christmas Decoration Ideas

Invite friends and family into your home for the Christmas season by creating an inviting and festive front door.

This stunning door decoration is perfect for any bold colored door. The wreath is a mix of vine, dried foliage and/or moss. This stark wintry look is created by the white spray of twigs bursting from the top of the wreath.

The eye-catching cluster of ornament balls have glossy and matte finishes and are shaped like a bunch of grapes. Be sure to add a silver bow at the top of the cluster so it ruffles over the balls like leaves. Add a dramatic flair with four to five different lengths of white ribbon, making sure they are all longer than normal.

This door design greets all who knock with warmth and is the ideal choice for a double door entrance.

The no frills approach of this design is in keeping with the naturally cozy and inviting porch decorations.

The greenery framing the doorway is anchored by a red bow in each corner. The bows match the wreath bow that is placed to the middle side of the wreath. Pine cones and small apples decorations give a natural appeal to this very woodsy door design.

This door decoration is in keeping with the fruit found in the living historical recreation of Colonial Williamsburg. Known as the Williamsburg Christmas Look (circ 1939), this design uses the now famous fruited designs.

Three large poinsettias are equally spaced around the wreath along with three gold bell ornaments. The unique porch columns are wrapped with pine and pine cone garlands.

This design foregoes the door wreath opting for a long streamer ribbon placed at the top of the door. The lighted garland is wrapped with metallic red ribbon that's trimmed with gold. The gold trim picks up the gold accents in the door. Potted poinsettias and white hydrangeas grace either side of the doorway.

The vibrant fun colors of this door decoration takes a page out of Mardi Gras color palettes. The wreath features purple, pink and green ornament balls with a deco mesh bow and ribbon.

This white willow and lights door decoration is whimsical and airy like a touch of fairyland. The wreath and garland as well as the spiral topiary trees feature LED white sprigs of garland. The railing is decorated with white strings of light.

To recreate the wreath and garland, you can use white willow garland with battery operated LED lights. Use a white wire wreath form to wrap the garland around to create the wreath. Be sure to secure the strands to the wire frame with white wire ties. Tuck the battery control box behind the wreath form. Secure the garland on the door frame columns with white wire, tacks or hooks.

To create the spiral topiaries, spray paint a stick white and plant into the urn. Use a firm but flexible wire to create the spiral twist. Attach the top of wire spiral to stick with white wire and bury the end in the urn. Then attach the strands of LED willow garland to the wire frame using white twist ties.

Finish with decorative lanterns placed next to the door.

A classic Christmas design uses great holiday elements together with pine garland. Poinsettias, gold ornament balls, red berries, and pine cones decorated the garland. The iconic red tartan plaid is interwoven through the garland with lots of twists and curls.

Complementing the door decorations is the column wrapped with red ribbon and garland for a candy cane effect. The ribbon can be secured with small pieces of packing tape (be careful when removing not to peel paint). Small tacks may also be used. Small command hooks or picture hanging wire can be used to secure garland in place around columns. Be sure to use outdoor proof ribbon and garland.

This door design completes a fun porch vignette. The door is framed with a green garland that features an intertwined red metallic cord. Miniature gold ornament balls are added along the length of the garland. The wreath features poinsettias as well as red and gold ornament balls.
