Home Design Tips: How to Decorate and Add an Extra Oomph to Your Home's Entrance

Doors are often overlooked as part of a home's overall design, but spicing up your entryways will definitely add more personality and oomph to your space. Remember, your entryways are most often the first thing that you and your guests see when people see your home. Here are some tips on how you can decorate your home's entrance.

Paint the wall behind your door patterns. The pop of color will be an instant pick-me-up after a long day, and you can even experiment on which patterns to use. Scattered and multi-colored polka dots on a white wall would be nice, and it will make it feel like it's a celebration whenever you're home! If you'd rather not paint your walls, wallpapers are a quick option. Need help with patterns? Check out these easy-to-do painting projects.

The wall behind your doors is an excellent spot where you can showcase statement pieces like a dramatic mirror, a nice painting or sculpture, or even just a luxurious bouquet of fresh flowers. You can even put your inspiration board so that you'll always be reminded of what keeps you inspired and happy whenever you pass by. Doing so can set the mood of your every day.

Color will also make an impact! Red will give off a welcoming vibe, while lavender is a bit more relaxing. The initial mood will vary and will depend on the color you'll use. Need a boost of energy after a long day? A bright sunny yellow is a good option. Learn more about colors and how they can affect your mood here.
