Your front door is the first thing guests see, so it is the best place to start your Christmas decorating. Here is how to build a grand Christmas entrance in layers, from the door outward and inside, using pieces from the Juniper House Christmas Decor collection.
Start with the wreath
A full, pre-lit wreath with a red lighted bow is the quickest way to make a front door feel festive. The listing is for one wreath, so buy two to flank a double door.

Add height with giant gold bells
Oversized gold jingle bells with red bows add drama to porch steps or beside the door. Check the listing for size and what is included.

Layer in mini wreaths
A set of four small wreaths with velvet bows works on a glass door, sidelights, or windows near the entrance.

Frame the doorway with garland
A pre-lit cedar garland gives the door frame a soft glow and a fresh-greenery look.

Dress the mantel, stairs or console
Two Norfolk pine garlands carry the same greenery inside, along a mantel, a staircase rail, or an entry table.

Hang a statement bow
A giant velvet bow on a mirror or inside the door repeats the red from outside and adds a luxe finish.

Finish with rustic gold bells
A set of gold bells on twine can hang from a doorknob, a hook, or the stair rail for a little sparkle.

Welcome guests with a tall tree
If your foyer has the height, a 12 ft pre-lit fir makes the entrance feel grand as soon as the door opens.

Quick tips
Keep the palette simple: greenery, warm white lights, red velvet, and a little gold. Repeat the same materials inside and out so the entrance feels connected. Always check each Amazon listing for current size, lighting, and what is included before you buy.
