Go Modern and
Minimal
For a more pared-down look
that's still festive, stick with one
seasonal item that can work for
both fall and winter. For this
contemporary home in Vancouver, a bright wreath
of preserved berries does the trick. Other ideas to
try: an evergreen boxwood wreath, a large floor
lantern placed by the front door or a stack of
birch wood with decorative white bark.

Brighten Up With Lights
A well-lit porch looks far more inviting
than a shadowy one, particularly as days
grow shorter this time of year. Choosing
standout lights that complement
your home's architecture can help an
entryway feel festive and welcoming.
For example, the intricate Moravian star-shaped
pendant lights of this entryway. Even without
the decorative pumpkins by the front door
(which could easily be changed for a potted
conifer in winter), the porch feels warmly
inviting.
