How to Decorate a Front Door

A front door is the first part of your house that onlookers will come into contact with. By adding a little decoration to your front door you can “wow” your guests with your flawless personality and style.

You don’t need fancy features or expensive door decor to create a fantastic first impression. There are many creative ways to achieve a welcoming entrance for your home, without breaking the bank on your front door.

With many styles of front doors available on the market, there are many different ways to decorate your front door to add some much-wanted curb appeal to your home.

What are the best front door decorations?

There are many ways to add some modern decor to your front door. From quirky decorations to the odd spot of DIY paint, improving your front door has never been easier!

1. Hanging Baskets

Flowers make anything and everything prettier. Hanging baskets can be hung from the door itself or placed on either side. However you want to include them, the addition of flowers will add a simple sense of elegance and beauty.

Your hanging baskets are a versatile substitute for other planters. As the seasons change, so can your flowers! Use brighter flowers in the summer, like petunias and fuchsias. As the seasons get colder, you can opt for some hardier plants such as violas and ivies.

2. Traditional Wreaths

It goes without saying that the first front door decor idea that comes to mind is a hanging wreath. Though a traditional Christmas staple, these faux floral decorations can be found in many different styles.

With more colourful, summery pink wreaths available, you can add a spark of character to your front door. As the autumnal months approach, you may also want to opt for an auburn wreath.

If it is a dedicated natural feeling you’re after, then look no further than a real-life wreath for your front door. Especially popular in the winter season, natural wreaths are the perfect Christmas door decoration.

3. Decorative House Plaque

House plaques are a more traditional approach to front door decor. This doesn’t mean to say you need to be adding your family name to your front door!

Make your house number or house name stand out with a fancy plaque. If you have space, you can install it above your entrance. You can even install it by the side of your front door or even at your front gate.

4. Decorative Door Knocker

Add a little flourish to your front door with a decorative door knocker. Doorbells may be a more practical feature for your home, but there is nothing more unique than having a stylish, one-of-a-kind door knocker in the neighbourhood.

It may be that you don’t intend it to be operative and used solely as a decoration. Either way, they are a perfect way to create a fresh feel to your front door decor.

5. Vintage Letterbox

Letterboxes are one of the most functional parts of our front doors. However, this does not mean to say that we can’t use them to add some class and style to our homes!

Trimmed letterboxes can add a touch of traditional style to your front door decor. If you’re looking for a more vintage style for your home decor, then bespoke letterboxes may suit your fancy.

6. Doorbell Covers

With so many fancy doorbells on the market nowadays, there is a lack of fresh and creative ideas when it comes to their style.

Thankfully there is an abundance of additional doorbell covers available! These decorations are unique in showing off your charming decorating ideas with little to no effort.

7. Doormats

A fantastic feature of front door decor that can show off your personality at a first glance is a doormat. There are plenty of different decorative styles that give guests an insight into your character.

A monogrammed doormat may display your inner sense of class and allure. A humorous quote may better suit your quirky personality, and show off your interest in niche geek cultures.

A doormat is the perfect door decoration for anybody looking to portray their unique identity.

8. Improved Door Handles

Replacing your door’s hardware can provide an instant improvement to your home decor. Matching handles, hinges, and letterboxes can create a uniform style for the front of your house.

Providing a first impression that portrays elegance and stylistic prowess allows your home to feel cool, calm and collected.

 

Front door decor ideas without a front porch

It’s true that a front porch can instantly improve your home’s curb appeal. Unfortunately, not every home allows for such pleasantries!

There are many other door decor ideas that can put a spring in your home’s step.

1. Pretty Planters

Adding some greenery to the front of your home will bring some life and soul to your entryway. With tall planters of shrubbery, your front door will become a welcoming archway of nature.

If you want a more nature-themed approach to your front door decor, use wooden pots for your planters. If you also don a wooden door, you can think about adding a lick of varnish to really boast a sense of natural grace.

2. Outdoor Sconces

Installing modern, stylish lights above your entryway will not only add to your door decor but also increase your home’s security.

There are many lighting decorating ideas that can improve your door decor.

3. Outdoor Dresser

If you have enough room on your front porch to sport any additional furniture, then snapping up a cheap dresser can add a designated vintage feel to your front door decor.

Adorned with plants, flowers, and other natural decorations, a dresser can also provide a safer space for parcels and mail when out of the house.

4. Herb Garden

Many people decide to have these in their kitchens, but there is no harm in using a herb garden as door decor! With the correct pots and suitable drainage, there are many different green herbs that can be grown by your front door.

It may even be worth investing in a little umbrella-like roof for your herb garden. These can complement your door decor and add more style to the front of your home.

These outdoor decorations are not confined to garden decor. In fact, bird feeders are the perfect addition to any front door decoration!

There is nothing more perfect than coming home to an entryway adorned with birds.

Paint can also be used to decorate the edges of your front door frame, or even used to create partitions in the panel. At the end of the day, paint is one of the most ideal and classic ways to create an upgraded feel to your front door decor. Best of all, painting your front door couldn’t be easier!

There are plenty of door decor ideas available to suit any home’s needs. Whether you sport a wooden front porch, or would rather take a minimalist approach to your decor ideas, decorating your door does not need to be expensive or laborious.
