Sprucing Up Your Driveway For The Holidays
Helping to inspire laughter, good tidings, and great cheer, holiday home decorations create a mood that's fun, relaxing, and intimate. And what better place to start than your home's exterior? Here are a few tips for sprucing up your driveway this holiday season.
Hang a wreath, and add small evergreens
A beautiful wreath is inexpensive and simple to hang. You can buy a natural one at a local nursery or grocery store. Even an artificial wreath can add beauty and holiday cheer to your home. And if you really wish to add sparkle, try some tinsel or a set of lights.
Small evergreens decorated with petite ornaments can add a festive touch. You can color them with tinsel or spruce them up with lights to match your wreath.
Add some candelabras
If you're looking to upcycle those old champagne bottles, maybe now is the time to put them to good use. Gather them up and turn them into candelabras. To make them, simply paint those bottles matte black using spray paint. Next, add some long white candles for contrast. You can create a flowing effect by burning some long white candles inside the bottles. This allows the wax to cascade down the side of each bottle, creating an effect of bubbling champagne that flows. It's an excellent toast to your neighbors.
Hang some mistletoe
Lively mistletoe adds a greater vitality to your driveway during the holidays. The plant represents romance, which is why couples kiss under it during the season. But mistletoe is more versatile than you might think. You can add imitation frost to your mistletoe or tie it with a bright red ribbon.
Light up the night with energy-efficient lights
Add some punch to your holiday evenings with a little color from energy-efficient lights. You can choose from a variety of colors, including bright greens, brilliant reds, and deeps blues. Or you can opt for plain white lights. Either way, it's a great trick to add holiday cheer to your home's exterior while helping the environment. The professionals at Georgia Lightscapes can help you fit the lights around your garage door or along the top of your home.
Wrap a little tinsel around your mailbox
One of the first things people see when they look at your driveway is your mailbox. Consider wrapping it in brightly colored tinsel. You can use alternating white and red around the pole of your mailbox to create a look that resembles a candy cane. You could top it off with smaller decorations such as miniature reindeer to match the color of the tinsel.
