Front Door Dilemmas?

Your new home's front door is the welcome party for every visitor. It reflects the vibe of the home itself and the people who live there. Is your front door a mirror image of your personality or does it look more like the reflection of its former tenant? Here are some neat ways to spruce up your front door and put a little of your flavor into your home's first impressions.

There are nearly limitless possibilities for decorating your front door. You could simply paint it a different color (or colors), hang a wreath in the center or add a dramatic house number above or to the side. Other options include installing long shutters on either side or adding a playful, historic or decorative specialty door knocker. Online retailer Architectural Depot sells a wide range of knockers, from chili peppers to poodles, that are sure to make you smile when you come home at the end of a long day.
