Another festive favourite is a natural, rustic look. A focus on natural greenery for example with additional potted pine trees and a natural pine wreath is an extremely popular choice. Smaller pine trees can be used on steps up to your patio, leading a pathway to your door. Why not add a display of Winter logs and pine cones to add to the rustic feel… This nature-inspired decoration looks great in an outdoor setting accompanied with classic warm string lights to brighten up the space. 

A popular lighting option for your Christmas patio is to add lanterns to illuminate your porch and create a cosy, festive atmosphere. Floor lanterns looks especially great on porch steps - some opt for filling these with battery powered fairy lights and baubles for further decoration. Wall lights look great positioned either side of your door to create a cosy entrance to your home. These lighting options are fab for any time of year - especially Christmas time! When incorporating lighting into your porch decoration a popular choice is to opt for warm, white bulbs rather than colours ones (a multi-coloured lighting scheme can sometimes make your decorations look too busy).

If traditional green and red decorations aren't to your taste then why not try a bright, colourful design scheme?

 This is a great way to stand out from the crowd with a modern twist. If bright, bold colours are a little too bright, why not try a pastel colour scheme of lilac and pinks? These colourful baubles look best paired with a white silver tree for a nice contrast.

If you're looking for more understated decoration, why not go for a neutral colour scheme. You can still make the space festive and welcoming without bright reds and greens. 

A neutral colour scheme is elegant and soft, it looks great paired with a warm lighting scheme using lanterns or string lights. If your interior colour scheme is largely white and neutrals based, this decor looks especially great.
