Putting in a welcomingly well decorated front door is a great way to extend a welcome inside.
Many of us take pride in our front doors, but how many of us put a lot of effort into making sure they make everyone who passes through want to come inside?
Putting in a welcomingly well decorated front door is a great way to extend a welcome inside. The first impression you create is important, so why not make it good? There are many ways to do this, and we are going to share with you some simple ideas that will help you improve your home’s curb appeal by making the front door more welcoming!
Make sure whatever you put on your front door looks nice from inside your home as well as outside.
Even if you don’t have a lot of space to work with, you can still make a nice impression. Your front door is one of the first things people see when they come to visit, so take advantage of it! Make sure whatever you put on your front door looks nice from inside your home as well as outside.
It’s important that whatever decoration you choose for your doorway not only look good from the outside—like on the street—but also from inside the house. The front door is a great place to put storage containers (like this one), or even hang a wreath without blocking any views into or out of the house itself.
Wreaths make wonderful decorations for any season and any reason, but they’re especially appropriate for summer.
Wreaths make wonderful decorations for any season and any reason, but they’re especially appropriate for summer. They can add color and life to the front door of a home, and they’re an excellent way to welcome your guests and give them something pleasant to look at while they wait. If you’ve never made a wreath before, don’t worry—they’re easy!
Making wreaths is usually a group activity at our house; we take turns bringing in the materials, and then everyone gets involved in putting everything together. First, though, I’ll tell you what kind of materials you’ll need:
- A wireframe
- Felt flowers (any color)
- Ribbon (various colors)
- Leaves or other greenery (optional)
If you are still not quite sure what to do, look at what others are doing and copy them (with permission of course).
If you are still not quite sure what to do, look at what others are doing and copy them (with permission of course). Look online or in your neighborhood for examples of creative front doors. If you see something that inspires you, take a picture and make notes about it. Think about how it could be modified to fit your personality or home style.
Also pay attention to the way people decorate their houses on Halloween, Christmas, and other holidays; these types of decorations can provide inspiration for seasonal themes on the front door!
If your front door has a storm door, don’t forget that it is also an opportunity for decoration.
If your front door has a storm door, don’t forget that it is also an opportunity for decoration. The storm door can be decorated the same as the front door or it can be decorated differently. How you decorate them depends on your taste and budget, but they should always complement each other. Some popular options include:
- A small wreath with berries and greenery is attached to the top of the storm door
- A seasonal decoration like a pumpkin or gourd
- A sign with words of welcome
Your front door should always be welcoming and friendly-looking, even if it’s not open.
You can also make a statement about your home with the front door. It’s the first thing people see when they come over, so it should always look welcoming and friendly. It may not be open all the time, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep it well cared for. Take pride in your home and don’t let an untidy appearance ruin your efforts to make visitors feel welcome.
A tidy front door is also very welcoming in itself, because it shows that someone cares enough to maintain their property properly. When people see a nice looking house they’ll know that they’re going to have a pleasant experience inside as well!
