Your front door can be viewed as the face of your home. Your front door is what your guests see when they approach, what potential buyers notice after the fence and siding, and what you will have to open every time you return home from a long workday. It’s important to update your front door from time to time, as it is so heavily used.

No need to worry if you don’t know where to begin. Eight great front door decorating ideas are available, and most of them will not break the bank.

You can paint your front door.

A fresh coat of paint will do wonders for your home. Choosing the right front door color can be extremely important.

Consider the color of your siding first. You don’t want your front door to clash with your home’s color. Next, decide what kind of statement you would like your front door to convey.

Neutral colors like gray, black, or brown blend in, giving your home an aged, serious aesthetic. Bright, bold colors such as red, yellow, and blue can make your home stand out in a good way.

Choose oil-based paint from a reputable brand, such as Benjamin Moore. Paint the door on the weekend with a good-quality brush so that it can dry thoroughly before you or your family start using it.

Install stained glass or frost your glass.

New transom windows and sidelights flanking the entryway will give your old door a fresh look, especially if you paint it. Replace the normal windows on your front door with stained-glass ones if you already have slots for elegant, thin windows.

You can also use frosted windows to give your front door some extra privacy and let in natural light. You can frost the glass yourself using etching cream or buy new frosted windows and have them installed by trusted professionals. Waudena decorative door glass could be the best way to enhance the beauty of your entranceway.

Buy a brand new entry door replacement!

It might be time for you to replace your front doors if yours is too old or warped. It’s possible to completely change the appearance and feel of your home by installing a new front door.

If you currently have a traditional front door, a modern door can help make your home appear more streamlined and minimalist. You could also choose a customizable, elegant door like the Fiber-Classic Mahogany collection by Thermatru. You can express yourself in a variety of ways with a front entry door.

Add a stylish door knocker to the front of your home.

Installing a knocker of your choice can be a great way to fix a door that doesn’t already have one. A knocker with a handle in the mouth of a lion would be perfect for a colonial-style building. You could also choose something minimalist and modern, such as a silver knocker that has a thin handle. This is a great way to give your door more functionality and decor at the same.

Upgrade your front entrance light.

The entryway light on your front door is both a functional and decorative feature. It can be hung directly over the door or above the house address numbers. Why not replace the standard light bulb with something more creative instead of a simple lightbulb?

You can, for example, hang an old-fashioned lamp by your door and put in one or two energy-efficient bulbs. You can also replace your old bulbs with energy-efficient versions and then cover them in colorful glass to create a different look.

Plants and a rug can be placed near the front door.

It’s not just about changing the things that are at eye level. It’s also important to update things guests see as they approach the door, such as your entry rug. Get one if you don’t have one. Some rugs feature classic phrases such as “Wipe Your Paws!” or simple but charming images. Rugs are a nice decorative touch that allows guests to wipe their shoes before entering.

Consider placing some evergreen or seasonal plants on either side of your front door. This is a great idea for your front door if you have cultivated indoor plants that guests can see when they enter.

Hang seasonal greenery

The addition of seasonal greenery can make your Asheville house look more lively and spirited. We recommend that you hang some seasonal plants on your front door, like a season wreath. Summer wreaths have beautiful, bold blooms, while spring wreaths have vibrant bulb flowers. Fall and winter wreaths will have brown/red foliage and evergreen leaves or needles, respectively.

You can still use this idea if your front door is too narrow to accommodate a wreath. Put seasonal greenery into baskets and hang them on either side with sturdy hooks.

Seating for your porch

Use your porch to add some style to your front door. Create a colorful seat with cushions by the door. This is a great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors while you wait for guests. It also creates a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for future visits.
