How to Update your Front Entry


Swap Out your Wreath

One of the first things people see when they come to your home is your front door. So why not dress it up with a seasonal wreath? Spring is actually one of our favorite seasons for wreaths because you can go with something simple and green like a boxwood, or incorporate seasonal flowers like peonies or tulips!

Update your Plants with the Seasons

Other great go to items for your front entry are plants and flowers. Potted plants on the ground or on plant stands make for beautiful additions to your entry because they can bring beautiful color and life to the area. You want to make sure you are maintaining your plants well and incorporating appropriate options for whatever season you are in. For example you wouldn't want to put out mums in the spring because they are more of a hearty fall plant.

These days, there are entry mats in every style imaginable. You can find mats that range from beautiful intricate designs, to funny phrases, to classic and simple. Whatever your style, you can find one that suits you and your home perfectly. This is an item that will need to be updated about once a year due to the heavy wear it will receive.
