Holiday Decoration Ideas for Your Residential or Commercial Awnings

Around this time of year, neighborhoods and businesses across the Valley start to decorate and get in the holiday spirit. From extravagant light displays to winter-themed decorations, the magic of the season can be found around every corner. If you’re looking to reinvent your holiday décor or decorate your business for the first time, don’t be afraid to try new ideas.

When it comes to your residential or commercial awnings, get creative with your holiday decorating and utilize this building feature to add a bit of festive flair to your home or business. There are many things you can do to spruce up your outdoor awning for the holidays.

With a few simple, yet thoughtful touches you can transform your patio or deck into your very own winter wonderland — right here in the desert.

Hang Up Lights

String lights can add an elegant touch to your residential or commercial awning — and, if you choose white lights, you could leave them up all year long. Lights are a simple way to create a festive space and an inviting ambiance, attracting neighbors and customers to stay awhile and appreciate your holiday décor.

While most awnings are durable and capable of handling some extra weight, it’s often best to choose a set of lightweight string lights to keep the weight of your holiday decorations to a minimum. Doing so will allow you to add a variety of other light-weight awning decorations this holiday season. Don’t forget to test each light strand before you attach them to the awning and take appropriate precautions when using any ladders.

Attach Wreaths and Garlands

Wreaths and garlands work seamlessly with residential or commercial awnings because they can be attached to the very edge of the awning to create a natural, beautiful wrap-around look. They complement other decorations well and bring them together for a cohesive holiday theme. Wreaths and garlands come in a variety of colors and designs, giving you options for making your holiday decorating unique this year.

Decorate with Ornaments and Festive Figurines

Ornaments, winter-themed characters and figurines are a great way to make your holiday installation stand out from the rest. They come in an assortment of colors and shapes and often don’t weigh too much. You can easily hang ornaments on your light strands or on a wintery garland you’ve attached around the edge of your awning. Festive figurines like reindeer, wrapped presents, stars and even Santa Claus can elevate your awning’s décor from simple to eye-catching.

Remember to never place anything too heavy on your awning and always be sure to secure your larger decorations to prevent them from tumbling down or being blown off by wind. Even the slightest gust of wind could knock over all your hard work if not properly anchored.

Tie Ribbons or Bows

One quick and lightweight way to add a bit of holiday cheer to your home or business awning is by using festive ribbons and bows. They look great on an awning and can be used on light fixtures, furniture, doorways, shutters and more. Although simple and inexpensive, ribbons and bows can often bring all your holiday décor elements together. Select a color and style that will complement the rest of your decorations to create a subtle, polished and cohesive decorating scheme.
