While there are many places in the home you can easily decorate for the changing seasons – like the replacement windows on your Fair Oaks, CA home – none are easier to dress up than the entry door. Entry doors look great with a little decoration. While everyone loves a good wreath, sometimes it’s fun to change up entry door décor. Here are six fun, easy, and creative ways you can decorate your entry door, and they aren’t wreaths:

• Rainy Day – Find old rain boots, an umbrella or a watering can. Put some fake flowers inside the container you chose and use some ribbon as decoration or a hanger. This whimsical décor is always fun in the wet spring months.
• Cut Out – If you want something even more personal for your entry door, you can make a DIY wood cut out. You can buy or build a cut out in almost any shape or size. Love music? Hang a wooden treble clef. Are you a big cooking family? Hang a spoon. If you want to make your own, all you’ll need is hardboard, a jigsaw, and your imagination. Don’t forget to decorate your cut out with paint or stain for a finished look.
• Letter Monogram – Show off your family name with a letter monogram decoration on the entry door. Giant letter monograms are very trendy, and therefore easy to find. You can purchase one at your local craft store, or, if you’re feeling crafty, make one yourself out of foam board or hardwood. You can decorate the letter however you want, with paint, mosaic, glass, stain or even shells.
• Flower Basket – Nothing is more welcoming than fresh flowers. Fill a small basket with fresh flowers of your choice and hang it on your door. You can change out the flowers depending on the season or holiday for a fresh look.
• Chalkboard Sign – Paint the interior of a tray, frame, or small cabinet door with chalkboard paint. Hang your new sign on your entry door for a functional and cute decoration. Write fun, helpful, or welcoming messages on your sign to suit your mood, the season, or your needs. For example, you can write, “Come on in!” if you’re having a party, or “Shhh…baby sleeping” if the little one is napping.
• Picture Frame – Finally make use of one of those old picture frames you have in your basement or attic. Empty frames are easily embellished with craft supplies from paper and faux flowers to dried flowers, beads or paint. You could make the frame even more personal by installing a wire across the frame and attaching photos with clothespins.
