classic red

A door that pops gives this pretty porch inviting rustic appeal.

1. Patriotic Punch

Surrounded by original brickwork and framed in black, the red front door of this Toronto home takes centre stage. The bright hue is proudly Canadian and, when paired with brushed nickel hardware, takes on a modern look.

2. Tiny Twigs

When the door makes a statement on its own, a subdued adornment is the way to go. A rustic twig wreath embellished with playful plaid ribbon enhances the stoop’s wintry style and adds whimsy without clashing or taking over.

3. Green Garnishes

A garland graces the porch railings and is met by a tall planter at the bottom of the stairs – it’s lush and wonderfully stylish.

4. Bold Bucket

A carefree gathering of winter greens arranged in a folksy scarlet bucket makes for a country-chic display.

5. Sweet Sips

There’s no better way to keep warm outdoors than bundling up and sipping delicious hot chocolate. This sweet presentation is utterly tempting for kids and adults alike. Mini marshmallows, anyone?

6. Country Comforts

Classically rustic Muskoka chairs lend cottagey appeal and provide the ultimate spot to lean back and relax alfresco. Canadiana-themed toss cushions offer a playful nod to our nation.
