Last year I moved into a cute cottage style rental house. I was still unpacking boxes but wanted my exterior front porch to have some curb appeal and holiday cheer. And the best way to do that was to purchase a few classy and neutral front porch Christmas decorations.

Outdoor Christmas decor doesn’t need to be expensive or difficult to install. Decide if you want your porch decorations for Christmas to have a neutral or colorful color scheme. And each year you can buy a few pieces and add to the holiday look of your home.

Christmas Decorations for the Front Porch

The first thing I bought for my porch was a 26″ wreath. I loved that the lights on this wreath can change color from white Christmas lights or multi-colored and it also has a built in timer. If you live in an apartment or rental house, a wreath is an easy way to add Christmas cheer to your front door!

I was shopping on a budget and visited WalMart for the remainder of my Christmas porch decor. I purchased two large silver elk to sit in front of each column on my porch. Fluffed and installed two 3.5′ tall flocked Christmas trees beside the front door. And then I added a snowflake throw pillow to my adirondack chair.

This year I want to buy a festive doormat and after that wrap the front columns with garland to add to my front porch Christmas decorations. I would love more ideas for making my porch feel more homey and cheerful this December. Please share Christmas decorating ideas in the comment section! Bonus points if they are small budget friendly and rental friendly.
