3 Mistakes You May Be Making on Your Front Door Decor

April 17, 2025

(And How to Fix Them for a Beautiful, Personalized Entryway!)

Let’s be honest: your front door sets the tone for your entire home. It’s the first thing guests (and you) see—and it should feel warm, styled, and oh-so-you. But if your entryway feels a little underwhelming or like it’s missing something, you might be making one of these super common decorating mistakes.

Don’t stress—we’re breaking it all down and showing you how to fix them with ease. And spoiler alert: we’re also inviting you to a fun workshop where we’ll walk you through the entire process step-by-step!

❌ Mistake #1: Not Layering Your Decor

Does your front door setup feel flat or unfinished? It might be because you’re missing layers. Too often we see a lonely wreath and a single doormat—and that’s it. No depth, no dimension, and definitely no wow factor.

How to Fix It:
Layering is key! Start from the ground up:

Use a large outdoor rug as your base, then place a smaller doormat on top for contrast and style.
Add height with topiaries, planters, or lanterns on each side of your door.
Use risers or crates to create varying levels and a more dynamic look.

We’ll show you exactly how to build out those layers—without it feeling cluttered—inside the Front Door Workshop!

❌ Mistake #2: Not Decorating for the Seasons

If your front porch looks the same in July as it does in December… we need to talk. Not decorating for the seasons is a missed opportunity to bring life and energy to your home all year round.

How to Fix It:
Switch things up seasonally with small, impactful swaps:

Add spring florals or a bunny door hanger in March.
Layer in pumpkins, fall leaves, or warm tones in the fall.
Swap wreaths, florals, and doormats to reflect the time of year.

Seasonal decorating doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming—and we’ll show you how to keep it simple and elegant during the workshop!

❌ Mistake #3: Forgetting to Add You

This one’s big. Your front door shouldn’t look like everyone else’s on the block. It should feel personal. Too many people stick to the basics and forget to add something that reflects who they are and what they love.

How to Fix It:
Think about what makes your style unique:

Do you love vintage charm? Try an antique basket filled with flowers.
Love color? Add a bold painted sign or a cheerful bow.
Are you drawn to neutrals and minimalism? Focus on texture and symmetry.

In the workshop, we’ll help you find your unique style and show you how to make it shine right on your doorstep.
