Classic or traditional holiday decor is making a huge comeback and that’s for a reason: the new is the well-forgotten old. There’s nothing as enchanting as classic Christmas styling, and whether you do it in a modern or retro way, it will look awesome. This roundup is dedicated to stylish classic Christmas porches and ways to make them very inviting, and I bet that it will show how beautiful classic decor can be.
Color Schemes
To achieve polished classic Christmas decor, you will need a color scheme, and usually it’s red and green, red and white or gold. Sticking to a certain color scheme is important to achieve a traditional look, and you can incorporate these colors in various ways: with evergreens, red bows, tartan and plaid ribbons, ornaments, lanterns and even vintage decor or textiles like pillows and blankets.

Layered Decor
To make your porch wow, create layers or decor, use texture and various items. Start from garlands and wreaths: these can be attached over the door and on the door, and you can hang them over the porch, too. Continue with decorating rocking various arrangements here and there: evergreens, ornaments, poinsettias and whole Christmas tree will be the base of your decor. Add details, vintage or modern ones, to make the decor complete. Lights are perfect to illuminate your space, and you may add some to garlands or lantern.

Cohesive Styling
A proper color scheme should tie everything up but if your decor still doesn’t seem cohesive, you may add details that will do it. This can be a repetition of color, for example, red ornaments, bells, lanterns and poinsettias. It can be repetition of some decor, for instance, of evergreen garlands with lights. The final look and the atmosphere you create are up to you.
