The winter holiday season is that special time of the year when the joy maximizes and the whole neighborhood becomes one unanimous color of happiness.

But if you want your home to spread joy and look amazing on the outside, here are five ways to decorate your exterior for the winter holidays.

People who know go with the bow
There are a few things more Christmas-y and playful than a big, red bow and ribbon. It’s a crucial part of every gift. So, why wouldn’t you make your front doors a welcoming gift to everyone who enters? Put a big bow on your front door and decorate it with ribbon. This stunning decoration scheme is a simple method to add instant curb appeal to the outside of your property.
It’s been popular the last few holidays because it reflects the desire of homeowners to make a bigger statement with their holiday decorations. It can be a simple yet effective addition to any upscale property as it reflects class and simplicity. Million-dollar homes in Las Vegas can be brought to another level with this simple fabric.
Gift-wrap your front doors
To get this effect, cut two pieces of lightweight fabric long enough to drape from top to bottom in one direction and across in the other. Staple the fabric around the door’s perimeter to hold it in place but be careful not to make the door too tight. Just meet the ends in the center and knot them off like you’re gift-wrapping your front door. A pro tip – to make it more sophisticated but still Christmas-y, use red velvet for this decoration. If you want it to be refined – use white velvet that will look great and luxurious and remind you of the snow.

Safe but adorable choice to decorate your exterior for winter holidays – a massive wreath
If you want to make a statement with your front door decor, use a massive wreath. Use a garland to hang above the entranceway to complement the plant life. The garland will look stunning even after the sun has set by adorning it with fairy lights.

Make a little Disneyland
Reindeers and Santa Clause are part of the standard winter exterior equipment, but they can be a bit plain to put on yearly. If you have a little child (or you’re a big fan of Disney), this is a perfect opportunity to make your own little private Disneyland if you own one of the luxury homes in Las Vegas. You can find your favorite characters in life-size online or locally and make a perfect winter story in your backyard. The options are endless!
If you search long enough, you can find all the characters in different positions and garments and then improvise a story. You can have Bell and the Beast making snowballs while Elsa is letting go of an adorable smile right outside your home. You can order fake snow to make it more magical for bonus brownie points. Little ones will be thrilled, but the adults won’t be cold to the idea.

Lights and more lights
Winter holidays always light up the mood on shorter and colder winter days. And there’s no better thing for the job than the actual lights in whatever form you like them:
- string lights
- LED strips
- candles
You can make many variations of these three and many good combos! You can make a little Vegas out of your home if you want to. Just follow the basic rules of sustainability when lighting them up. It’s fantastic to have a great light show in your backyard, but it’s also amazing to care for the planet Earth. So, make sure to take into consideration sustainability, too, when choosing the lights you’ll put on.
String lights are the most traditional, and you can get bigger bulbs for a more reduced look. Or you can bring a little modern twist with the LED strips (they can look amazing on Las Vegas mansions). Candles are always a good and elegant choice that will bring romance to your exterior. Just be careful to surround them with proper protection (glass will do just fine) if you don’t want them to be blown out by the wind or, on the other hand, to burn your house down if they fall on the wood.

A little vintage winter twist
Of course, you don’t have to put traditional winter decorations. Opt for some wooden vintage decorations if you want to give your home a chic but nostalgic vibe. For example, you can put a pair of wooden skis next to your doors and a wooden sled on your porch. Then, compliment them with a cozy white blanket on your porch furniture. That will make your home look adorable, welcoming, and chic. It will look fantastic if your home is in that vintage, old-school style. Fake snow will be a great addition to this scene – why not make simple snowballing in your backyard look like a scene from an old Hollywood movie?
Red velvet is simple yet luxurious.
Winterize your home by exchanging the fall vegetables for more ornamental winter decorations and swapping out the traditional pine wreath for a pristine gold straw one, to which you may add your special touches. A transitional technique you can use throughout the seasons is a garland of pinecones hung over the front entrance. It’s a great way to decorate your exterior for the winter holidays.
Your kids will love the idea.
