Decorating your home during the holiday season is an important way to get into the spirit of giving and reflect on your own blessings. If you have children, it’s also an opportunity to create memories that they’ll treasure forever. While decorating the interior of your house with festive decorations can be fun, it’s also important to consider getting your outdoor space ready for the holidays as well. Here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind when decorating your fence this holiday season.
Hang Wreaths
Wreaths are a great way to dress up your fence and make it look festive. Hanging one on your fence is an easy way to add some Christmas cheer without having to worry about where you’re going to put a tree. Plus, you can get really creative with what kind of wreath you want and how you want it to look, so it’s a great option if you’re not interested in doing anything too traditional.
String Lights
Stringing lights on your fence is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. It’s also a simple and affordable decoration that you can do yourself. Make sure to plan ahead when stringing up your lights so they don’t interfere with any power lines or other obstructions nearby. The most important thing is to make sure the lights are plugged in and turned off before climbing over or onto anything, especially if you’re working at night!
Use Garland
Garland is a great way to add a festive touch to your fence and porch. You can choose from a variety of different types, including pre-lit, flocked and metallic garland. This type of décor can be hung on either side of your door or gate and is often found in reds, greens and golds. Garlands are available in an array of different sizes so you should be able to find one that fits with your space.
Paint Your Fence
Painting your fence is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to spruce up your home this holiday season. It also allows you to customize your space and create a personalized look that will show off what matters most. For example, if you have lights on your tree that change colors or shine in different patterns at night, paint them on your fence so they can be seen from all sides.
Add Bows or Ribbons
Add a festive touch by adding bows or ribbons to your fence. You can also use twinkle lights to dress it up even more. For example, if you have already installed solar powered string lights on your fence, place some clear Christmas light bulbs on top of them, and you will create a warm and inviting glow. Another idea is to add fairy lights around the outside edge of your fence, so they line both sides like a wreath.
