Depending on the style of your house, you can choose to match your home style to your Christmas outdoor decorations.

Try to coordinate the color of your lights to the colors of your house by choosing complementary colors. Choose only one color of lights to create a luxury style.

If your house is small don't overcharge it with a lot of decorations and choose small decorations. If your house is big, small decorations will look like they are lost in the decor so choose something proportionate to the size of your house.

Personally, I don't like inflated comics characters as decoration. I am more traditional but that doesn't mean that you should not use them. Also a simple wreath is sober at the door but always of good taste.
