It's that time of year again: the days until the first Advent are getting fewer and fewer and it's time to put your home in the Christmas spirit. But how about decorating not only inside but also outside this year? We have selected many magical ideas for outdoor Advent decorations and revealed which details are essential for a beautiful decoration.
What do you need for outdoor Advent decorations?
Visiting Christmas markets, baking delicious cookies and spending time with the family – the run-up to Christmas is many of us’s favorite time. Of course, the right decorations ensure an extra Christmas atmosphere. From mid-November it is high time to start decorating for Advent. And while everything is allowed inside, there are a lot of things you have to take into account when decorating for Advent outside.
Natural materials are the focus
Natural materials such as coniferous branches, cones and berries are some of the most important ingredients in typical Advent decorations. Get some branches of pine, fir, cedar or juniper and make themclassic winter arrangements. They are best displayed in tubs, baskets, boxes or old kitchen utensils. Color accents can be set with red fruits such as berries, apples or pomegranates. Don't forget the cones either. They are a cheap addition to any Christmas decoration.
Let there be light
Advent, Advent, a little light is burning - lights should not be missing during Advent. Whether atmospheric fairy lights or illuminated lanterns, you can use light to set accents in the garden as well as at the house entrance and windows. Be sure to make sure that the strings and lights you use are suitable for outdoor use or protected from the weather, and avoid using real candles for safety reasons.
Tradition with a difference: Advent wreath for outside
Advent wreaths are often placed at the window so that they can be seen from outside. This idea is nice, but I think it's even nicer to have a separate Advent wreath for outside. It can decorate the outside windowsill as well as the garden table or the entrance to the house. It doesn't have to be the classic either. You can arrange the candles in any shape you like and decorate them with jewelry of your choice. Small zinc cups or clay pots are ideal for this. Even decorated lanterns look really good outdoors.
Christmas window decorations are always two-sided - you can decorate both inside and outside. If you want to dress up your house in a Christmas dress, then you shouldn't ignore the windows. You can do thatDecorate the flower box for Christmas, by adding the colors of the festival in the form of garlands and Christmas tree decorations. Fairy lights are also a great choice and highlight the arrangements even in the dark. You can easily make various garlands yourself from natural materials and complement the festive decorations on the window.
Garden decorations for Advent
If your living room has a view of the garden, then you shouldn't neglect the garden decorations for Christmas. There is nothing better than feeling the Christmas spirit everywhere in the evening after a hard day at work. Make the garden part of your living space even in winter by decorating it festively. Decorate evergreen shrubs and trees with Christmas balls and garlands, make pretty arrangements in pots and illuminate the outdoor area with atmospheric lanterns.
Beautify the patio with a homemade wreath made of coniferous branches, cones and Christmas decorations. It can be decorated in any color palette. Use classic red and gold for traditional decor or go for a modern feel with black, white and silver jewelry. The choice is yours.
Create a festive house entrance for the Advent season
Regardless of whether you live in a house or an apartment, it is always worth decorating the entrance festively. In addition to the classic door wreath, there are also many other options for Advent decorations. Mini Christmas trees, vintage decorations and wooden boxes filled with festive jewelry are just a part of it. If you live in an apartment building, make sure that the decorations do not disturb anyone and do not interfere with free access in the hallway.
Advent decoration for the balcony
If you only have a small balcony, you don't have to miss out on outdoor decoration. Make the small outdoor area shine by wrapping the railing with fairy lights and decorating the balcony table with glowing lanterns and a mini Christmas tree.
