Verandah Décor Tips and Ideas
A snow-free Christmas doesn’t have to be any less festive. Here are some themes and ideas to help you through the season.
Evoke Southern Charm
Create a cosy, southern-style verandah with greenery, white lights, and classic red and white accents. Add comfortable cushions in traditional Christmas patterns and other lightweight, soft furnishings to rocking chairs or benches.
Go All Out With Lights
Place trendy wire or twig Christmas trees pre-lit with LED lights to give your verandah a welcoming glow. String solar-powered Christmas lights and lanterns across the rafters or around verandah railings to illuminate the area at night. Explore rustic wicker and wire pre-lit sculptures in Christmas designs, as these suit outdoor displays in warmer weather.
Try Tropical Themes
Enjoy the sunshine-filled vibe and consider rustic, nautical, or floral themes. Decorate an outdoor Christmas tree with in-season blooms or use succulents or Christmas cacti lit up for a fun take on Christmas greenery.
Warm Climate Christmas Decorations
Dress up your verandah or deck with a combination of these Christmas accents.
Coastal-Themed Décor
Perfect for beach houses, Christmas ornaments in ocean hues and sea creature decorations are ideal for warm-weather Christmas décor. Add them to plain garlands or door wreaths, or place them in lanterns or hurricane vases to create a cheerful accent.
Festive Foliage
Bright green foliage with white and gold accents complements the warmth and brightness of the weather. Choose wreaths and garlands with cypress, eucalyptus, or other vibrant greenery to help your foliage stand out.
Solar-Powered Lanterns
Lanterns provide a cosy glow while serving a functional purpose at night. Consider energy-saving solar-powered fairy lights in large floor lanterns or hurricanes on your verandah steps to guide your guests up to your front door.
Bright Blooms
Embrace vibrant flowers and foliage and let them brighten up your warm and sunny front verandah during the festive season. Potted poinsettias are perfect for Christmas.
Minimalist Lighted Décor
Add a little sparkle to your verandah décor with lighted decorations. The minimalist design doesn’t overwhelm the space but still gives a nod to the festiveness of the season.
