What better way to kick off the Autumn season than by giving your front door a little facelift? You can achieve this by applying a fresh coat of paint which is a great option anyway if it has chipping paint or is a bit lackluster in color. Consider fall colors like brick red or mustard yellow, but also double as tasteful color options year-round. You can further elevate your front door’s appearance with decorative trim.
Don’t forget to update the hardware to something more current too like upgrading to a smart lock which can enhance your home’s security and allow you to remotely lock and unlock your front door.

Once you have completed any home or seasonal renovations or DIY projects, spice up your porch with a few finishing fall touches.

And, who can forget about the festive messages that can make any guest feel extra welcome? Consider getting a chalkboard sign and writing personalized, seasonal messages, or swap out your door mat per the season.
