It’s that time of year when everyone in the neighborhood is pulling out the lights, holly, wreaths, and yard art! If you enjoy making your home look holiday-ready each year, you may be wondering what exactly you can do to spruce up your iron doors. To help you capture the essence of the season, here are three easy ways to decorate the front entrance to your home.
Create a Grand Look with Garland
Adding garland around the door frame will help create a cohesive and festive look for the holiday. Whether you choose a faux design or real evergreen, the drapery you can create around the exterior door will give a beautiful and elegant look. You can hold your greenery in place by using adhesive hooks, especially if you have iron doors. These will hold up well and be practically invisible to onlookers.
Welcome Guests with a Beautiful Wreath
Nowadays, you can go with the traditional green wreath and perfectly tied bow, or you can switch it up with bright colors, a snowy look, or even something completely different like holiday sleigh bells or miniature presents. With so many items available at your local craft store, you can create a wreath or door hanger that matches your overall design and personality. Maybe you enjoy a more festive and fun look, or you prefer the more traditional, timeless appearance of the season. No matter your preference, hanging an adorned, seasonal object on your door will surely capture the attention of guests and neighbors alike.
Illuminate with Holiday Lights
What better way to jazz up your iron doors than to incorporate lights? If you have wrought iron, you could always wrap lights around the design to have it pop, or you can simply incorporate them into your garland or door hanger. Creating a cohesive look with other items on your porch or doorstep will give off a welcoming feeling when someone approaches your door. Not to mention, you’ll have a hard time not smiling each time you see your front door from the street.
There are countless ways you can give your iron doors the holiday look they deserve this year, so don’t be afraid to try something new. Or keep it simple and elegant. The choice is yours!
