The entryways of your home are the first thing people will see when they visit you. From the moment a guest walks up to your front door you want a good impression to be made and for your entryway to look fresh, simple, and welcoming. 

Today we are going to talk about some of the different ways that you can rejuvenate a boring entryway and make it stand out from the crowd. 

Simple Ways To Rejuvenate Your Entryways

Paint Your Door

The first thing you can do to your entryway this year is paint the front door a new colour. If you have a wooden front door that has been weathered and dull over the years one thing you do to make it stand out is paint it with a bright new colour and make a statement at the front of your home. For example, a bright red door is a popular choice and this can really make your home stand out and also add some much needed personality to the space. 
​

Install New Windows

Another way to improve the entryway to your home is to remove and replace old looking windows at the front of your property. Windows can last for years and years, but over time their frames can look dull and go out of style. Use a company like Renewal by Andersen Windows & Doors to replace your windows with new ones and refresh your home instantly. More light will get into the home, and the house will look much tidier from the outside. 

Add A Wreath

If you are keen to make some fun decorations for your entryway this year, one simple way to do this is with a wreath. Wreaths are not just for Christmas and you can actually create a seasonal wreath for any time of the year. For example in the summer time you can opt for bright fake flowers and leaves, and you can also create a Halloween themed wreath at the end of October. This simple decoration when displayed on your front door can elevate your design and make the front of your home look amazing at any time of the year. 
​

Create A Coat Rack

One simple way to use up a porch space that is being neglected is to use some wooden panelling and paint to create a coat rack in the space. If you have a porch with a wall that can be used for storage - why not cut up a piece of wood to the size of the wall and paint it a pastel colour such as mint? Once you have done this, screw or glue this to the wall and you can then add coat hooks for people when they come and visit your home. This once neglected and useless space will now be a place where people can hang up their coats before making themselves comfortable in your home. ​

Display Artwork

If your entryway includes your corridor leading through to the main home, a great way to fill the space is with some simple and beautiful artwork. Consider hanging a few fun prints in the home of your favourite style and bring the walls to life with colour. 
​

Hang Some Shelves

Another way to vamp up your entryway corridor is to hang some wooden shelves on the wall that can be stacked at different levels for the ultimate design effect. Hang some shelves in a diagonal structure on your walk and then add some decorative plants and other small Knick knacks that will make this space into a design feature for your home. 

Add Some Greenery

Greenery is always a great way to vamp up the entryway of your home whether it be the outside or the inside of your home. Outside the home, you could hang two hanging baskets on each side of the door and pick either flowers or plants that match the colour of your front door. For example if you chose bright red, petunias are a stunning choice here and will look amazing all spring and summer long. On the inside of the house you can consider adding a succulent or two on the shelves of your entryway or even have a larger plant on the floor of your porch and people come in. ​
​

Buy A Welcome Mat

The final touch to any great entryway has to be a lovely welcome mat. A welcome mat invites people to come inside your home and yon can get these in many different sizes and patterns. Get one that is true to you and place these at the front and back of the home.
