Christmas decorations are the heart and soul of the yuletide season. A well-decorated home can really bring out some cheer in a home, and even the usually droll office can be a bit livelier when a few decorations have been set up here and there.

The problem here is that a lot of people tend to overlook the entrance to their homes or offices. It is one of the first things people see before they enter into the building, making it the perfect place to set up a decoration or two to help put a smile on their face before coming home or starting the day's work.

If you're pondering over what decorations to put on your front door, then here are a few ideas to get you started:

"Merry Christmas" signs

A simple but brightly decorated sign saying "Merry Christmas" is one of the most common Christmas decorations people put up on their front doors. And for good reason too, as the greeting symbolizes the cheerful and charitable spirit of the season. Light displays are particularly attractive pieces to hang up on your front door, especially at night when they shine nice and bright.

Wreathes

The humble Christmas wreath is one of the most ubiquitous signs that Christmas has come around. You could opt for a simple balsam pine wreath or a more colourful pre-decorated wreath instead. The former wreath is an excellent choice if you like custom-decorating the pieces you have at hand while the latter wreath is a quick and easy choice that you can hang up on your front door in a matter of minutes.

Christmas Garlands

Garlands are similar to wreathes in their simplicity but are more versatile and can be arranged to form a distinct pattern of your choosing. These garlands come in many different packages, from plain faux balsam pine garlands to garlands with frosted snow designs. These garlands are especially useful if you have a front porch where you can hang a garland from and can serve to complement brighter, more colourful decorations on your front door.

Decals and Stickers

If your front door has a few glass panels, then you can use this to your advantage by sticking a few decals and stickers on. Take for example a set of nativity scene stickers or snow flake glass magnets. Both pieces can add a lot of life and colour to your front door's glass panels even as they are easy to attach and detach at a moment's notice. You can set them up in such a way that they interact with the other Christmas decorations that you set up on your front door.

Metallic decorations

Pieces like gold metallic starburst and multicolour metallic starburst can add a touch of glitz and glitter to your front door. They can function as effective centrepieces; drawing the attention of guests and passersby to itself as they walk through the doors of your home or office. These decorations, however, work best when paired with other decorations. The metallic shine of these kinds of decorations can be greatly enhanced by subtler colours like the green of a wreath or a garland.

Christmas stockings

These Christmas decorations can aren't just for the fireplace - they're also effective in bringing about the holiday cheer even when placed on your front door. Stockings with a traditional "Merry Christmas" greeting or with a kitty design can be pretty interesting pieces that will fit right in with your front door. You could even insert a few battery operated mini lights in the stocking to make it really beautiful in the night.

Illuminated displays

Speaking of lights, illuminated displays are especially effective at beautifying your front door in tune with the holiday season. Displays like Christmas bells and beautiful snowflake display can work wonders for your front door - especially at night when it's time to turn on the lights. Just be careful setting up the electrical connections, as you don't want the door scraping off the protective covering of the wires.

Keep these tips in mind and you'll be able to find Christmas decorations to help make your front door fit for the cheer of the yuletide season!
