A front entrance can say a lot about a home. After all, it’s practically the face of your house. For new visitors, it’s likely their first up and close impression of the place you live. You want to make sure that impression is a good one.

Where do you start? Here are a few simple tips and ideas to get you going.

Proper Lighting

Entry door décor only matters if people can actually see it. Make sure your door is properly lit. Not only does this help display the appearance of your entry door, but it increases safety when walking around at night. It may even help in keeping away robbers.

While some homeowners call it good with a singular, centered light source, we’d recommend a light for each side to properly display your entrance.

Add a Wreath

Think wreaths are only for Christmas? Think again. The truth is, there are wreaths for all seasons, allowing you to have a simple, unique, and beautiful addition to your entry door.

Potter Plants

Plants are a great way to add some color and aroma to your home, inside and out.  Placing a potter plant or two to each side of the door is a great way to outline it with some natural beauty. Just make sure to keep them properly watered.

In the winter, consider swapping them out with small evergreens or spruces.

An Accent Color

If the door itself blends into the rest of the home, it might be worth painting it a fresh color. Using the right accent color can really make your entry door stand out. Not sure what color to go with? Make sure to check out our previous post here.

A Great Looking Door is Its Own Décor

Here at Springfield Overhead Door, we like to consider a quality door to be its own work of art. No amount of paint is going to fix a cheap, drafty, beaten up entry door. You want something that’s sturdy and capable of standing against the elements.

If you’re looking to improve your home’s efficiency, you should also consider an insulated door.

Whatever your door needs might be, we have a great selection of overhead and entry doors available in Ohio. Contact us today!
