Tips to Spruce Up Your Front Door

Brightening up your home and giving guests a pleasant stay starts at the very beginning: your home’s front door. While most homes sport a basic white style, there’s no reason to stick with the status quo, and getting your front door to match the style of the interior of your home is as easy as making a few simple changes. Here are a few tips to help you spruce up your front door and bring some personality to your home’s exterior.

1.) Play with Color

The easiest way to bring some life to your front door is with a splash of color. With a relatively small surface area, re-painting your front door is not a costly endeavor, and it won’t take much time to get a couple of coats on there. Here are some of our favorites:

• Black – nothing says drama like a dark-colored front door, and because most front doors in the suburbs tend to be white, this will certainly make your home stand out. But don’t think it’s all doom and gloom; a black door can bring sleekness and glamor that will impress any guest.
• Pink – If your interior is soft and sophisticated, a pale pink door can be the perfect mood-setter. It will stand out and be unique without being too overbearing or shocking. A subtle dusty rose can be a great neutral-pink shade.
• Green – Bring a bit of the outdoors right to your front step. The perfect shade of grassy green will bring vigor and liveliness, while a muted sage blends in with a more subdued interior
• Sky Blue – Inviting joy into your home has never been so easy! A cheerful sky blue will encourage a sense of play and levity as you enter your home and will certainly make passersby smile.

2.) Knock Knock!

Perhaps the simplest way to bring some pizzazz to your front door is with a new door knocker. Choose a material to match your hardware and feel free to play around with the design. Go whimsical with a lion or gargoyle head. Alternatively, choose a sleek brass ring or rustic pewter design. Letting visitors have some fun at your door will definitely set a fun mood for when they come in.4

3.) Handle It

Sometimes, simplicity is best, and since every door must have some kind of handle or doorknob to let us in, this is probably the simplest place to start if you want to spruce up your door. Changing from a standard round knob to a sophisticated antique lever style will automatically enhance your front door. Even changing the finish of the handle makes a major difference, so consider bronze, chrome, brass, and pewter among others.
