A visit to the home starts at the front door.
It's the first impression a home creates and the first place to create a warm and welcoming greeting for your guests.
Greet visitors to your home in style from the first moment they arrive.
Looking for inspiration and ideas to get started?
Here's a few simple ideas for welcoming front entry decor.
1. Create an outdoor display
Begin with a pair of outdoor planters or urns.
Next, layer in the colors and textures of the season.
Add pumpkins and dried hydrangea for fall, evergreens for winter or fresh flowers for spring.
2. Add lighting
Outdoor lighting creates a welcoming first impression.
Warm, soft light adds drama and visual interest to your space.
An outdoor overhead light, wall lights, or even simple sconces just inside the door are a perfect way to accent your entryway.
3. Add natural elements
Sometimes decorating an entry can be as simple as shopping the yard, as well as adding in natural textiles to your outdoor display.
Decorate with twigs or magnolia leaves or create a wreath from dried boxwood.
One simple tips is to begin with a simple swag and layer in dried hydrangea or other florals.
4. Continue the welcome
When you open the door to the home, make sure the welcome continues.
Have a place for guests to hang coats or place umbrellas.
In addition, add a small entry table with a catch-all basket for keys, a small table clock and pen and paper for notes.
Creating warm and welcoming entry decor is as simple as adding lighting and interesting displays and continuing the welcome through the front door.
Get your home ready to welcome guests in style.
