Want to make a long lasting visual impact for those special home gatherings, moments with friends and family, opting to hang out at your place? The greatest way to leave a lasting impression on your guests and family is presenting yourself as a super savvy decorator, even if it’s only the front porch.

Here are 5 ways you can easily get that drab walk way looking more fabulous then you do on a Sunday morning!

By Diana from our vintage home love

1. Hang a Wreath!

It’s festive, it’s creative and if your truly hands on this will be no problem for you. A great place to shop for wreaths that are truly one of a kind, where your neighbors will nod in appreciation, is the online handmade community Etsy.

2. Carve out a few Pumpkins or lay some around.

This is not only one of my favorite options, but it can also involve you and your family! Make a day of it, watch how you all gather to make truly one of kind designs.

3. Potted Plants are a Necessity!

There are certain flowers and plants that are green or bloom despite the weather conditions. These are not only an investment but are ideal when kicking that curb up a notch.

4. Keep it Symmetrical and add some Decor elements.

A good idea is to keep your walk way balanced. If there’s to much happening on the right, edit a bit, scale back and balance each side evenly. You’ll find this simple approach achieves a dramatic impact, not to mention conversations starters of your swoon worthy entrance.

5. A festive welcome mat or outdoor rug.

Depending on how spacious your front porch or walk way is, invest in a festive walkway. Nothing calls out the holiday decorations then festive decor. Be bold and don’t forget to have fun!
