Hang a nicely created garland on the door
Since your front door makes way for your guests to enter the house and says the first hello to them, it surely deserves some stunning decorations.
And when it comes to giving special attention to your front door and porch, you can easily do that by being simple yet extremely stunning.
Create a garland from fresh greenery, pine cone and pine twigs, and deck it with Christmas ornaments.
If you want your garland to have that traditional Christmas feel, go for red and white Christmas ornaments. Drape the garland in such a way that it can effectively outline your front door.

Place a Christmas tree next to your front door
Placing a beautiful and wonderfully decorated Christmas tree right next to your front door is another interesting way of highlighting the entry.
You can use a number of things to decorate the tree such as fancy ribbons, lights, Christmas Stars, holiday stockings, pine cones, and vintage ornaments.

Hang multiple wreaths on the door
Generally people prefer to place a single wreath on the front door, however if you really want to make a bold statement you can go ahead with multiple wreaths.
As far as wreaths are concerned, you can create your own or buy them from the market.
Wreaths can be made from almost anything, and you can make them as stunning as you want. Give them a wintery touch by including small bare branches, pine cone and pine twigs.
Put gift boxes, vintage lanterns, and Christmas candles near the door
If you have generous space both on the right and left the side of your door, you can deck that beautifully with vintage lanterns, Christmas candles, and gift boxes.
As far a gift boxes are concerned, place some of them loosely on the ground and the rest you can pile up one top of another.
This will definitely give a richer appearance to your front door.

Use old Christmas cards, vintage ornaments, and Christmas stockings
For giving an innovative festive look to your door, try placing a number of old Christmas cards at the center of it and then hang vintage ornaments all around the cards.
In addition to that you can also hang holiday stockings on your door.
