Decorating Your Door For Winter

Your door can make an impressive statement this holiday season. With minimal effort, you can create an attractive centerpiece for your home's exterior. Simple materials available at your local garden center can be mixed and matched to suit your tastes.

Garland

Balsam garland are a fragrant and natural decoration that lasts throughout the winter. Draped over an awning, over railings, or under your eaves they add a classic beauty for your home.

Wreaths

Fresh cut or permanent, a wreath really dresses up your doorway. At Gertens, there are several varieties and sizes ranging from 12" diameter to 60" diameter. Choose from fragrant balsam or fraser, or any number of permanent and dried wreaths that can be used year after year. Place directly on your door or in a bare spot on your house for extra color this winter.

Spruce Tips

Spruce tips add depth and interest to your existing annual planters and pots. You can add a variety of color using juniper boughs, rose hips, pepperberry, eucalyptus, rice flower, and even pine cones. Simply remove your tired annuals and arrange the spruce tips and other additions in a pleasing manner.

Lighting Fixtures

Another great idea for winter and the holidays is to decorate your lighting fixtures. Use ribbons and fresh greens to spruce up your lighted entrance.

Above all, be creative and use your homes existing accents and style to create your own winter-time beauty on your doorstep!
