As proud Barbie girls, we're big fans of incorporating pink whenever we can. Case in point: this front door decoration scheme with plenty of much-welcomed pink accents. From the full-size tree to the ceiling fixture, we're into this whole look.

If your entrance features double doors, double up on decorations—especially wreaths. This flocked set pairs perfectly with the gold-toned nutcrackers and oversized ornaments.

Going for a festive look doesn't necessarily mean you have to go overboard, especially if maximalism isn't your style. In fact, feel free to go in the opposite direction and do as little as possible. This door is minimalist in all the right ways, with a wreath and potted plant.

Of course, the reclaimed beams, pale wooden floors, and white-painted exterior only further enhance the farmhouse look, but the Christmas decorations don't hurt. They're quiet, feature only natural colors, and lack any glamorous ornementation. It's a vibe that looks good with pretty much all styles.

Shop Wreath Set

Of course, the place to use the real greenery is outside, where the mess of fallen needles and sometimes overwhelming scent won't bother you, but there's something to be said about going the artificial route. These faux garlands and wreath look (and feel) so real that we're convinced this is the way to go. After all, you can use them year after year.

We have an idea where Kelly Larkin, Chicago-based founder of lifestyle blog Kelly in the City, is going to put this enormous bow, and we're into it. If you don't have a lot of porch space to spare, go big (literally) on the door with a huge (think five feet tall and two-and-a-half feet wide) bow. Either make it yourself or buy it pre-made.

Is there a story more appropriate for Christmas than The Nutcracker? No, no there is not. So go ahead and lean in and place a huge, glossy nutcracker outside your front door. Be sure to match his outfit to the baubles framing your entrance.

The fluffy white wreath and colorful pre-lit garland looks just like a gingerbread house. The pale pink door doesn't hurt. If you are going for Hansel and Gretel vibes, this is a good place to look for inspiration.

Shop White Wreath

All we have to say is, "woah." This bright and colorful design is made entirely of baubles. If you want to recreate this look, make sure to buy ones of various sizes and colors.

Red and gold, two warm tones, work well together—especially during Christmastime. So if you're looking for a color scheme that isn't red and green, deviate just a little and go with red and gold.

Shop Red and Gold Ornaments

This sweet entrance may feature two doors, but there's not a lot of porch space to spare for decorations. That doesn't mean you can't use as many decorations as will fit.

Shop Red Ribbons

Is it just us or does this greenery look extra dark? We're not mad about it. The super moody hues let the red accents really pop. So if you have a white home with a black, glossy door, you may want to try this scheme.

Grandin Road is one of our favorite spots to shop for elevated holiday decor, and these gorgeous front door decorations are a perfect example of what makes the retailer so amazing. Our eye goes straight to the garland finished off with lights and bows.

Like a wreath, a swag is an evergreen Christmas decoration that often features berries, warm lights, bristle, and pinecones. One of our favorites on the market this year? This one from Frontgate. Hang it on your door or on the walls framing your door.

Shop Swag

If you tend to hang a wreath on your door every year, why not consider doubling down and opting for not one but two wreaths? Of course, the set looks extra festive when paired with matching garlands, flocked shrubs, and the long red ribbons.

Shop Wreaths

If you live in a warm-weather place that doesn't get much (or if any) snow, trying to create a winter wonderland is tricky. So perhaps take a slightly more geographically easier approach, like this wicker basket filled with faux produce. The most charming touch? It's fastened to the door by way of a big, fluffy bow.

Shop Ribbons

There is something so exact about this decoration scheme that makes us think embracing every sharp angle is the move. The fact that the wreath and the garland match perfectly doesn't hurt either, so if you want to mimic this look, buy the two as a set.

Just look at this gorgeously festive front porch outfitted in a garland, wreath, and swag (yes, the pieces hanging from the lanterns are actually called swags). Whether you pick just one piece or snag the whole collection, your home is bound to be the most festive.
