Stunning Entry Display
Your outdoor entry display really sets the tone for your Christmas decor, so why not make it extravagant? This garland arch by @cupid_installations_ is made with fresh foliage (but can easily be done with faux branches), burgundy and red ornaments, and velvet bows.
What We Like About It: The all-red color scheme makes a bold statement, and the oversized ornaments creates a big visual impact even when viewed from a distance.

Metallic Christmas Tree
We love colorful Christmas trees, but an all-silver look will really make your tree shine. This dazzling tree from @cgaiadesigns is adorned with silver ornaments, mirrored disco balls, and cascading tinsel. More is better when it comes to creating a show-stopper like this.
What We Like About It: The tree is placed on a pedestal to give it extra height, which creates an even bigger impact in the space.

Snowflake Banister
Turn your staircase into a winter wonderland with this snowflake banister idea from @thekwendyhome. She hangs paper snowflakes along the banister, and then intertwines greenery and twinkling lights to complete the look.
What We Like About It: Unlike most staircase garlands, which are only on the top of the banister, the snowflakes adorn the entire railing, and the twinkle lights make it all look even more magical at night.
