I like it, especially the wreaths over the lights. My lights are similar to your's and I only have red ribbon on them, but next year I'm definitely doing the wreaths like your's!

And I love your home! Are those lace curtains in the window? Another thing I'm waiting to put up once my cat gets older and stops climbing things. :)

Nice home. You really have a lot if options based on the colors in your bricks. What colors do you like? Which don't you like? Since the shutters arent changing & appear to be close to BM Salamander, what about BM Winter Lake or Squirrel Tale? Try finding a color in their online gallery close to the shutters & check the suggested coordinated colors. Best of luck.

The table in the front hall looks great! Yes, I would use 2 ottomans. Are these colors that you are using in other rooms? The front hall sets the tone and those colors should be use in some measure throughout the home. You could put art in the tall space if you want. I don't think a mirror would be an issue with our central vac, though.

I am looking to brighten up the all wood front entrance, and need some help thinking of color palettes. Down the line, i'd like to have a half wall open up to the living room, but for now, to keep it budget friendly, any ideas or color palette inspos for the entrance area?

You have an outlet for a lamp on the right (longer) wall facing your closed door. That is where I would put the console. Measure from beyond the swing of your front door. You don’t want your door slamming into your console. Hang art above it and place a nice lamp there. If you feel a bench is necessary, place it on the shorter wall across from the console, or centered on that wall.

Below is a link to my blog where I posted about this.

I completely changed my game plan this year. No stringer lights on house gutters & shrubs this year. Not dealing with it. Just simple wreaths on the windows.

Most important: I got a new front door this year, so I have a nice new focal point to work with...and not that old bright white, boring, metal utility door which did nothing for the house. You can now see the front door and visitors have a visible entry point to the house. Soooo....

I LOOOOVE the vintage sled I got this year...and I plan to continue using it in the future.

Another thing...the shrubs in the front will get yanked next spring, so I wanted to work with base Xmas decor which doesn't include the shrubs.

I have some tweaking ideas for future years:

I think a few spartan silver balls added to the little lit trees might add more interest.

I think maybe to add a simple swag/garland/something to the upper door header, but nothing distracting from what's going on below.

I didn't want to do anything on the door this year. It's too new to me to even want to touch it or try anything...however, I don't really think the door needs anything on it...even a wreath. I'm still thinking that through for future.

Anyway, this is my base foundation I'll keep using, and tweak over the years as I get ideas.

We have a large wreath on the front door. I have a grapevine tree in a large pot with some fresh greenery at the base near the door. We do wreaths hanging from red ribbons on all the front windows and have two from the lights (like yours) on either side of our garage doors. Candles (white lights) in all the windows.

Yours is very pretty!

The shrubs in the urns do light up at night time, I also have the mini lights around the inside of each window inside.I should have posted this picture with the out side picture in the day time.
I'd love to see more pictures of some Decorated front entrances.
