1. Rain Boots, Umbrellas, or Watering Cans!

For people who love things to be fresh and lively, you can redesign your door using your old rain boots or umbrellas which are lying idle in your storage. Just place some faux flowers inside the container and secure it with a ribbon, and voila, your DIY front door decor project is ready to be hung using a wreath hanger.

2. Quirky Chalkboard Quotes

A quirky idea to decorate your door is to paint the interior of a tray, frame, or cupboard door with chalkboard paint. You can then fill your chalkboard with an inspiring quote, welcome message, monogram, or your house numbers. It’s a really functional and awesome front door decor idea as you can easily change the chalkboard message according to your mood.

4. Empty Picture Frames

We all have unused photo-frames stashed somewhere in the dredges of our cupboards. It’s finally time to put those frames to use, people. Empty frames can be embellished with craft supplies you have lying around the house such as scrapbook paper, faux flowers, fabric flowers or even dried flowers.

6. A Door That Plays With Colours and Reflections

Inspired by artist Armin Blasbichler’s home in South Tyrol, you can design your door using light switches to confuse visitors. Another idea is to use little Pantone reference panels for every colour, which is a highly unique and great means of artistic expression.
