Door Decorations

Tis the season for inviting around your family and friends for yummy food, drinks and festivities! What better way to greet them than with some fun and stylish DOOR DECORATIONS that will create a bright and welcoming feel before they have even entered your home. From traditional wreathes and garlands to fun and funny handcrafted designs and door decals; these ideas are sure to put a smile on your visitor’s faces.

Wreathes are a traditional feature of front doors around the world during this time of year and with a wide variety of designs to choose from you can tailor your selection to your home exterior or personality. For a classic feel then opt for natural woven twig, holly and ivy designs with berries and acorns that will create an elegant woodland feel around your front door. If you prefer a more modern look then why not select a brightly coloured wreath made from baubles, tinsel, candy canes or pom poms and add some fairy lights for added sparkle and shine.

Door plaques make a great alternative to a traditional wreath and can be personalised with your very own theme or greeting. Simple wooden or slate plaques can be used to spell out words such as ‘welcome’, ‘home’ or ‘noel’ and can also be personalised with your family surname or a cheeky message for an ‘in joke’ with your family and friends. These plaques can be hung from the door using traditional twine or ribbon and can be decorated with flowers, berries, baubles or twigs for a cute homemade feel or bright and modern ornaments for a more contemporary look.

If you are feeling crafty then why not up-cycle some items that you have lying around your home in cupboards and wardrobes. Use an old umbrella as a hanging door decoration by keeping the umbrella closed and filling it with some glitzy Christmas baubles, tinsel fairy lights or some cuddly Christmas toys and use the handle to hang on the door knocker for a simple and stylish feature. A more natural and traditional look can be created by taking a pair of old wellington boots and filling with some holly, ivy, flowers or a poinsettia and arranging in a layered design on the front of the door.

If you live in a modern or minimal home then these ideas may not be up your street but you don’t need to miss out on the fun! Why not purchase some door stickers and decals that can be used to update your front door during the festive season and simply peeled off again when it’s over. You can opt for classic holly, snowflake or Christmas tree designs or select some festive quotes, carol lyrics or a phrase such as ‘welcome to the [insert family name]’ that are sure to create an eye-catching finish on any colour and style of front door.
