10 Ways to Decorate Your Garden This Christmas
As the festive season slowly creeps in, the Halloween decorations and autumn wreaths are replaced by Christmas stockings and glistening tinsel.
But the interior of your home isn’t the only canvas you can adorn with Santa motifs; decorating your garden is the perfect way to welcome in this merry holiday.
Atlas Sheds has provided you with a range of fun and easy ways to transform your garden into a winter wonderland this Christmas. It’s time to wrap up warm and get out your box of decorations as we walk you through each idea.
1. Fairy Lights Galore
Outdoor string lights are the perfect place to start. With the right touch, every tree in your garden can become a Christmas tree.
Wrap Christmas lights around bushes, tree trunks, and along your fence. Choose warm bulbs for a soft twinkle or colourful bulbs for a bright and cheerful approach.
You could even opt for funky designs, like star-shaped and hanging icicle lights!
2. Plant Festive Greenery
If you love to garden, why not get your hands dirty and plant some seasonal greenery?
Plants like evergreens, snowdrops, and hellebore (Christmas rose) are perfect for adding colour and replacing plants that are less resistant to cold weather. You could even replace any plain plant pots with Christmas designs.
3. Add Ornaments to a Tree
Similar to the first idea, adding Christmas ornaments, such as baubles and tinsel, to an outdoor tree can give it a new, jolly purpose.
To prevent the ornaments from flying off, secure them with tape and choose plastic rather than glass options.
4. Add Garland Drapes to Fences
Garland drapes are beautiful and versatile; they can be placed along fences, around fireplaces, and doors.
When hanging to a fence, use nails to secure the garland in place. If you have a wooden arch or gazebo in your garden, the garland can be draped along the top or around the legs of the structure. Add pinecones, berries, and bows for an extra touch.
5. Decorative Stakes
Christmas-themed garden stakes are the perfect way to get your garden holiday-ready.
You could opt for Christmas-themed lights or add a ‘Santa stop here’ sign for the little ones to your front or back garden. Candy canes, stars, or snowflakes can also be placed along paths or flower beds to give your garden extra character.
6. Inflatable decorations
Nothing says Christmas is here like inflatable Santas, reindeer, and sleighs in your front or back garden.
This is perfect for creating the perfect, jolly display and is a sure way to turn your home into the best-decorated house on the street.
7. Install an Outdoor Firepit
Christmas calls for family gatherings and board game nights with friends.
If you have a gazebo or lounge area in your garden, why not make it extra cosy with an outdoor firepit? This is perfect for chasing away the winter chill while showing off all of your hard work to guests.
Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to roast some marshmallows!
8. Inclue Some Whimsical Garden Statues
Classic Christmas statues are perfect for an outdoor display.
For a touch of holiday magic, you can place small, festive garden statues or figurines, such as nutcrackers, reindeer, or elves, around potted plants.
9. Invest in a Snowflake Projector
If you’re a tech enthusiast, why not opt for a snowflake projector?
This can project some enchanting Christmas patterns onto your garden walls or the wall of your home, creating a mesmerising display for all to enjoy.
10. Christmas Light Displays
What’s better than lighting up the outside of your home like a giant Christmas grotto?
Christmas light displays are perfect for showing off your creative skills to your neighbours in the front garden or creating your own glistening north pole in the back.
Think giant lit-up reindeer, Santa sleighs, jingle bell window lights, and anything else you can find!
