How To Renovate A Front Door: DIY
Paint Your Front Door
Paint your front door a contrasting color from the rest of the house. Red is a popular color for doors. Pick something that pops without being obnoxious like blue, yellow, or something similar.
Replace the Door Handle
This can really help the appearance of your door if the handle is looking looking shabby and old.
Install Trim
Installing trim around your front door can drastically change the whole look of your front door, and porch. This image is from Exterior Design Specialists.
How To Renovate A Front Door: Ideas
Ornate Door Knocker
Add a door knocker that goes well with your style. People don’t have to use it, but it adds an elegant touch to your front door. Plus, there are tons of different styles to experiment with nowadays!
Hang A wreath
You can even change it up from season to season. I think is one of the best ways to increase the feeling of welcoming and hominess at your front door. Find tons of great DIY wreath ideas here.
Welcome Mat
Add a welcome mat at the foot of the front door. It’s a nice touch AND prevents muddy shoes from tracking through the house. Find one you like on Etsy.
Vinyl Lettering
Add a little bit of a personal touch to your from door with your last name, or a welcome sign. I found this one on Esty for $10.00.

I think a metal kickplate across the bottom always looks nice on the front door and a full length glass storm-door is great, too. A seasonal wreath on the door, a welcome mat on the porch and you’re all set.
I really like all the ideas – the vinyl “Welcome” is especially nice. No one EVER comes in my front door so never sees the wemcome mat. But the sign they can see.
For fast cheap color on the front door, use vinyl wall paper. Okay for holiday too. Nice Red Door for winter, Blue for summer for those os us with pretty boring color scheme.
Thanks.
