5 Woodsy Outdoor Decorating Ideas

December 11, 2019 by Chris Carroll

featured imageWe love these 5 woodsy outdoor decorating ideas! Whether you are selling your home this winter or hosting a party, these ideas will turn up your curb appeal and ensure your stairs and walkways are warm, cheery and bright. 

Light the Way for Holiday Guests

This idea mimics a traditional paper-bag-style Santa’s runway but is a much safer alternative. To accomplish, add a layer of rock salt or Epsom salt to glass vases or mason jars then nestle a glass votive candle in the center of each. Depending on the size votive you use, the candles will safely provide hours of illumination. When one burns low, simply replace it with a fresh candle.

Add an Orb

We love these obs. Follow this how-to guide to make your own. The illuminated grapevine sphere topiaries are great for your front porch and can easily hang on trees. The waterproof lights ensure they’ll brighten up your entry even during stormy winter weather. 

Woodsy Luminaries

Add a woodsy glow to your entryway with a grouping of birch log luminaries. To create them, cut the branches into varying heights with a circular saw. Next, drill holes into the top of each log using a 1-1/2″ paddle or spade bit just deep enough to accommodate a votive. For kid- or pet-proof illumination, pop a battery-operated votive into each.
 

Turn Every Day Into Holiday

Designer Erinn Valencich gives her front porch lanterns a wintry update with artificial sprigs of berries and snowflakes she applied using a craft-store stencil and spray snow. Mimic this design or create your own. 
 

Create Icy Outdoor Ornaments

Bring the holiday spirit to your yard by filling your trees with these colorful, 100% biodegradable ornaments. They are simple to make, all you need are a few dishes, your favorite plants or fruit and water!
