What would you do with this porch?

This is the front of my house. The paint needs touching up on the porch doors around the door furniture and the bags and big box of plants needs moving out of the porch. Aside from that, how do I decorate it for Christmas/seasonally? The two middle doors open, the two side panels are static, there is a front door inside the porch door with a window to one side. Where to put a wreath? More than one? Small trees? Plants in pots? Lights? Help!

There is a bay window out of shot with matching stained glass so that could have lights around it too to tie it in. I like natural, greenery, unusual floral, traditional Victorian/Edwardian.

That's a lovely porch @ChristmasCrafter

And it looks less like eyes than the pic I posted! But now I've seen it I can't unsee

@StyleDesperation

Oh thank you! Some great ideas here.

@offyougotwantychops funnily enough a family friend is growing me a lemon tree which will live on my patio and come into my porch for the winter/spring. Probably not this year though sadly.

If anyone has links to anything they think would work, share away. Like the sound of the split wreath too but haven't seen anything like that before. Anyone seen anything?

Think I need to find an outdoor lit garland with battery pack as no suitable outdoor power on the front of the house.

Will have to trawl for decorations, how sad! I will post a picture when it's done.

@StyleDesperation As regards what to do with this porch, we need a new porch and I'd really like one like that, so I would work out how to get one put up here...

Ooh lovely!

I would definitely have a tree in the porch or one either side of the door.
