Home Decor Genie’s Home Decorating Tips: Does Your Entrance Welcome People Into Your Home? Lead family and guests to your home’s entrance and make them feel welcome.
- Get a fresh welcome mat – let it express your personal style! For holiday home decorating, try a seasonal welcome mat! Go funky, wacky, traditional, or whatever your style is!
- Add pots of flowers – flowers and plants add life and color. You could also hang a seasonal wreath on the door. Try pine bows, holly or poinsettias for the Christmas season.
- Make sure it’s lit at night – lighting is critical at night, so make sure you have bulbs in the lights and keep them clean. Again, a holiday tip: brighten up your entrance with fancy lights. Don’t you just love the variety?
Whatever your home decorating style is, carry it through to the entrance. People’s first impression of your home is made when they pull up to the curb. Give new friends and aquaintences a hint of your personality right up front! And for old friends and family, make your entrance say: “Hi, I’m glad you stopped by!”
