How to Dress Up Your Driveway for the Holidays

If you want your house to really stand out this year, think about dressing up your driveway.

Driveway decorations are the perfect complement to you home decorations – and they are one of the easiest accents you can install!

Here are some ideas: 

Lights, lights and more lights!

Luminaries, arches, or accent stakes. There are tons of different options that can suit your style.

Use solar or electric pathway lighting to line your driveway – try for a classic style using all multi-coloured lights or a simple, elegant white.

You can even aim for a theme, matching your driveway lighting with the rest of your home's décor.

The added lighting is an extra detail that will take your holiday decorations from great to spectacular.

Set a Scene

Create a magical Christmas scene by incorporating decorations on your yard, spanning the length of your driveway.  This would be a great space for Santa and his reindeer to land, or even the perfect placement for a family of snowmen.

Don't forget the shrubbery!

If you have shrubs or trees lining your driveway, take advantage of net lighting or tree wraps. This is an incredibly easy option and will definitely make an impact.

Door Décor

If you don't think you will have the time to install lights, or want to add that one final touch to your decorations, consider buying a spotlight. Not only are projectors simple to install, there are so many different options to project.  You can choose a colour, snowflakes or image.  It can become your personal light show and your garage door is the perfect backdrop.

With the addition of driveway decorations to your already spectacular holiday décor, you will be well on your way to being the best dressed house on the block!
