Non Christmas Winter Porch Decor

Non Christmas winter decorations are simplified with my fool proof formula.

I love adding porch decor, and I tend to use this simple formula no matter the season.

1. Door wreath or swag
2. Simple (season-less) door mat
3. Evergreen planters flanking the front door
4. White LED lights (or lanterns) in moderation
5. Optional Seasonal Additions:
   • Bells
   • Pine Cones
   • Evergreen garlands
   • Undecorated pine trees of various sizes
   • Stack of cut logs
   • Embellishments like pine cones, berries, or flocking
   • Vintage sled with skates
