Over the years, your front door can start looking very dull. The ware of your kids hitting the front door, or pets scratching the surface, your door may be looking a little rough. There are more than a few things that can be done for the DIYers who enjoy a project or two.
Here are a few easy steps to follow in order to make your door look like new:
1} Wash it! It is easy to forget to wash off old debris – but giving your door a door rinse will actually create a smoother and brighter door surface.
2} Paint it! A good dose of fresh paint can add the perfect amount of flare to your old front door. With the heat and the sun blaring on your door, it can cause the color to fade and to warp. Repainting your door with a new color will give you that “new door” feel! (We recommend always sanding down the door first, before painting, to create a smooth surface so the paint looks smooth as well.)
3} Adding a door mat, although small, can add a big difference to the overall look of your front door. It creates a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for your family and your guests. Try it out, and get a door mat that fits the style of your home!
4} Another way to add subtle but beautiful accents to your front door, is by adding greenery. Planting some flowers into pots and placing them around your doorway, it a great and simple way to brighten up your yard.
5} The last suggestion we have for you, is another small detail that anyone can add to their front door. It is a door knocker! Just like the door mat, there are many designs and colors of door knockers, you are bound to find one that lights up your entry way!
