Freshen Up Your Front Door Style
Picture this: your living areas are beautifully styled, you’ve conquered the daily tidy-up checklist and your home’s interior is ready – bring on the unexpected guests! But before those visitors ever make it inside to see your hard work, they’re getting an impression of your home as they walk up to your front door. Whether it’s refreshing the stain, adding a pop of color with a new paint job or a simple switch of the hardware, there are steps you can take to make sure the front of your home looks just as well-kept and guest-ready as its interior!

Not all front doors are created equal. Ensure that your front door’s style matches your home’s overall look to ramp up curb appeal with a cohesive appearance. For a traditional home with brick or stone, go for a refined, classic look with a black or navy door, or a wood door stained a darker hue. Incorporate brass or brushed gold fixtures such as a kick plate, doorknocker and handle.
If your home leans toward contemporary or eclectic, embrace a bold door to add excitement to your entry. Turquoise, chartreuse, royal blue or even sunshine yellow are popular choices to brighten your exterior. Tape paint swatches of your favorite hues against the home to choose the color that looks best with your existing exterior. Complement your door with silver or dark matte metal details.
Door it Yourself
Refreshing your front door doesn’t have to be complicated. For a quick DIY update, swap out worn hardware with new replacements, remembering to choose options that blend with your home’s style. Or, include an element of fun with a vinyl decal near the doorknob that says “hello” or “welcome.” You can even help guests find your home by adding your address numbers to the front door – simply choose numbers in a style and color that matches your fixtures, decide where to place them and screw them into the door.
Once you’ve revamped your door, be sure to keep it well-maintained by cleaning it regularly, resealing it at least once a year to protect it from the elements and waxing your weatherstripping to ensure the outdoors stays out. With a little time and effort, your front door will be singing your home’s praises to everyone who sees it!
