Perhaps you’re getting ready to have guests over or ready to sell your home with RealAdvisor. A striking facade or welcoming lobby can do the trick. There are many ways to upgrade your home entrance, such as installing new lighting or painting the walls. Whether in Portland or Memphis, TN, these front door decorating ideas will make your property stand out from the rest.
1. Light up your walkways in a new way
Good exterior lighting is essential for the security and convenience of your front door.
If you want to improve the look of your home’s front door, this is a fantastic place to begin. Lighting the walkway to your front entrance is a simple technique to make your property more welcoming. The entrance to your home is the first impression visitors will have of you and your taste, so creating a good one is essential. Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by lighting the path to your front door with warm, inviting lighting.
Homeowners are urged to reevaluate their outdoor lighting schemes by moving away from the conventional practice of “soldiering” lights along the path, much like an aircraft runway.
To give your guests the impression that they are on more of a journey to your front door, you should consider enhancing the walking experience of your home by staggering the lights along the walkway.
2. Plants and flowers provide beautiful accents for front doors
Plants are frequently used as part of an interior design scheme in the home. Why not use the same principle for the front door of your house? Adding plants and flowers can achieve a vibrant splash of color near your front door. A bouquet of dried blue thistles and other brightly colored flowers comes highly recommended by Per Obiora of Kashew.
You might adorn your front entrance with a wreath of fresh olive leaves and lavender flowers as another organic decoration option.
3. Build a portico to cover your front door for instant curb appeal
If you want to completely renovate the entry to your home and give it an extensive facelift, one option you should think about is installing a portico over the door. Not only will this give you some protection from the rain at your front door on wet days, but it will also significantly improve the look of your house.
Porticos are an easy addition that can change a property with a flat front into one that magnifies the front entry and protects visitors, packages, and the wood trim surrounding the front door.
Porticos are a great way to add curb appeal to your home. Porticos are available in a wide variety of roof types to complement the architecture of a house, such as a gable, hip, arched, shed, and bracket forms.

4. Include themed items for a seasonal design
When looking to improve the look of the entryway to your home, it is recommended that you integrate seasonal decor. The following are a few suggestions for front-door decorations that will lend an air of festivity to your home and win the admiration of your buyers or investors.
Prepare for the lower temperatures of fall by adding color to the area around your front door. To make buyers or investors feel welcome, decorate the front door with wreaths, a new welcome mat, soft wraps, and pillows in autumnal colors such as cinnamon, pumpkin, and sage.
To turn an ordinary evening into an enchanted one, you only need a few lanterns lit with battery-operated LED candles or fairy lights. Your front door display can look wonderful while still being kind to the environment if you hang a wreath made entirely of natural materials. A fall or Christmas wreath created from wood flowers naturally colored with vegetables is a great way to put nature’s lovely palette to work.
Natural wreaths have a zero-waste sustainable footprint, which means that when you are ready to redesign your home, you may dispose of the wreath in an environmentally responsible manner.

5. Refresh your door with a doormat and paint
You do not require elaborate decorations to achieve a more put-together look for your front door. A fresh coat of paint is sometimes necessary to make significant improvements to the entrance of your home.
When you decide to sell your property, one of the first things you should do is tidy up the front door. You can do this by painting the door in a modern color and placing a welcoming mat in front of it.
Painting your front door with vibrant colors, such as a sunny yellow or an eye-catching red, is an easy way to change your home’s entryway, increase your curb appeal, and create a welcoming beacon for visitors.
