We can all feel Christmas approaching in the air. The weather is getting colder, and houses all around are becoming illuminated with glowing lights that remind us all about the celebratory and cozy aspects of this season. We can all agree that Christmas decorations are some of the best ways to make your home a more magical and warm place during this cold season. However, garages are often neglected in the Christmas display, which is a shame, because a Christmas decorated garage offers a certain aspect of fun and flair to provide a mood for the whole neighborhood. Here’s some ideas for decorating your garage for Christmas, as prepared by the garage experts here at Garage Door Repair Chicago.
Simple Decor
Don’t worry about making it a crazy display. Some easy solutions are utilizing a large wreath woven through with battery powered fairy lights. Consider adding traditional airs to your wreath including bulbs, berry garlands, and even a red bow!
Card Decor
Cover your whole garage with Christmas cards – which you can buy cheap and in bulk at the dollar store. This is a whimsical way to provide a maximalist Christmas mood over your whole garage. You can even purchase a giant garage size mural for a surprisingly low price – many of these come in magnetic, decal, or roll-up variations and boast imagery like giant Christmas trees or a sleigh complete with reindeers.
Magnetic Letters
Purchase magnetic letters and fix holiday greetings like Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, or Season’s Greetings up on your garage. One of the benefits of using magnetic letters to decorate your garage is that you can recycle them based on different moods or holiday seasons, and even in support of your local sports team. They are a truly versatile decoration investment that pays back in spades.
Lighting
We recommend using holiday themed lighting like green, red, and white. Buy LED string lights for a cheaper option, and choose blinking varieties to create a dashing light play for your whole neighborhood. For the environmentally conscious, solar-powered lights are available on the market today, and can be reused every holiday season.
Wrapping Up
Wrap up your garage with a large holiday themed table cloth, and add on a giant gold or silver bow to make your garage look like a giant wrapped gift! You can even include an exaggerated gift tag to further create the illusion of a gigantic Christmas gift.
Projections
Consider purchasing a unique holiday projector that boasts a moving-star light show that illuminates your garage for your whole neighborhood. Outdoor projectors often come with special customizable slides that can suit your every mood.
Magnets
Similar to magnetic letters, but only imagery! Garage door magnets are quite cheap, and available in massive amounts of image varieties. You can buy giant magnets depicting all of the typical and traditional Christmas imagery in order to customize your garage for the holiday season.
