11 Spring Door Decor Ideas To Welcome The Warm Weather

Once the chilly winter days give way to warmer mornings, you know it's time to refresh your home for spring. But while preparing your interior for this seasonal change, you might overlook your front door. However, if you want to embrace the season completely and charm your guests (and unannounced neighbors) as soon as they step up to your threshold, use a little creativity to decorate the spot for spring. You could stick with classics, like wreaths, or try your hand at something more unconventional, such as an umbrella bouquet or a wicker basket swag.

Whichever idea you go with, you may need to purchase (or repurpose) some artificial blooms and foliage to make the decorations work. If you want to make your artificial flowers look real, don't compromise on quality. Also, only opt for flowers that bloom in early spring, such as crocus and daffodil, to keep the decor authentic. If you aren't a big fan of plant-based arrangements, you could also upgrade your door mats to lend your entrance a little personality. Want to explore a few ideas before you decide on the right warm-weather look for your house? Here are some spring door decor ideas to help you welcome the sunny season in style.

One of the easiest ways to decorate your doorstep for spring is to replace your door mats. You could just grab a seasonal one from a home improvement store and place it on your threshold. But if you'd rather have something more custom, get a basic version like this Plus Haven Coco Coir one to create a bespoke one for cheap. Grab a stencil (or freestyle it) and your favorite paint colors to write greetings and draw interesting patterns. If you want to extend the life of your doormat and don't want it to look faded after only a few days, use a sealant such as Flex Seal Waterproof Rubber Spray On.

Elevate your front door this spring season by adorning it with an adorable yet unique bouquet. Plus, you can repurpose an old umbrella in your home and keep it out of the landfill. Gather some artificial flowers with long stems (this is a must since umbrellas are deep and you want the blooms to be clearly visible) and any spring-worthy ribbon that you have on hand. You'll also need some tissue paper to give your stems some height and to keep them in place. Or, get some foam like FloraCraft's 2-Piece Cone Set, insert one point-down into the umbrella, then poke the stems into place.

One creative way to increase your home's curb appeal is to hang a wreath on your front door. Choose a base depending on your budget and the aesthetic you're going for. You can follow this creator and use a traditional base, like SuperMoss' 12-inch Grapevine Wreath, or grab a 10-inch green floral foam ring from Dollar Tree. One thing you might want to consider is that grapevine wreaths will require fewer flowers and leaves since you can leave parts exposed. However, you'll need to layer the foam one with artificial leaves, blooms, and sprigs to hide its humble origins.

Not a big fan of the traditional spring wreaths gracing every door on your block? Replace the basic frame with a 10-inch Wooden Bead Wreath from Dollar Tree for a more modern look. Add a few flowers and greens to the wreath's bottom with floral wire and hot glue, and keep the rest as is. You can even stain the beads a darker shade for contrast if you have a light-colored front door. Or, if you're feeling artsy, grab some paint to draw tiny flowers or insects, like bees and butterflies, on each bead.

Store-bought wall decor is a great way to add some pizzazz to empty corners. However, tastes constantly evolve, so you might have a few signs you no longer like that you stashed into storage. Instead of tossing them out, use one of them to decorate your front door for spring. If the decor clashes with your door's color, paint it a springtime shade of your choosing. (Using waterproof paint would be best.) You can even draw festive designs on it to give it a little oomph. Afterward, embellish it with ribbons, florals, and plastic butterflies before hanging it.

If you want to embrace spring in all its glory, then this idea is perfect for you. Grab an old wicker basket and stuff some artificial florals and bushes inside prior to hanging it up. Trim the stems based on the basket's depth and adhere floral foam to its base to keep your arrangement in place. You can even place real flowers inside if you don't mind the upkeep. Plop them in a plastic bag or vase containing water, but ensure there are enough blooms and greens to fill the width of the basket or they won't stay in place.

Do you like making your guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive at your doorstep? If yes, then greet them with a gorgeous wooden plaque. For this DIY, you'll need an unfinished wood round, like the Build-A-Cross' 16-inch Circle. Decide on the words you'd like to display. You can opt for a phrase like "happy spring" or go with your family's last name. Then, use a tool like Cricut's Joy Xtra Smart Cutting Machine to make a decal to adhere to the board. Or, if you want something simpler, you can buy pre-made decals, like the Hello Spring Vinyl option.

Make sure it's flattened completely, and stain or paint the surface any color you choose before removing the decal. Finish the plaque with some florals and plastic butterflies, and hang it up using a sturdy rope.

If you want to embrace spring in a literal way, get some large wooden letters to craft a fun sign for your front door. However, decide what you want it to say and experiment with a few placement ideas to make sure everything fits before you order supplies. After you have the letters, cover them with an artificial moss sheet, such as BYHER's 12-inch Dried Table Runner, with a generous amount of hot glue. Give the letters a custom look with distinct decorations, like flowers, insects, and birds.

Want to wow your visitors from the get-go? Repurpose your extra PVC pipes and use some chicken wire to DIY a striking spring garland archway. You'll also need some extra large zip ties, like this 24-inch Black UV Resistant Pack, to adhere the pipe to your front porch posts. Now, you just need to attach flowers to the wire. Remember, this idea is time- and effort-intensive and will require quite a few floral garlands to hide the pipe. However, you can use the mounting setup to also hang greenery for the winter holidays and autumn-colored foliage for fall.

Want unique spring decor for your door? Get the small step ladder out of your attic or basement. If you don't have one at home, hit a few estate or garage sales to find one for a steal. You could even check your local thrift store. Once you have it, clean it with a damp microfiber cloth and paint it in happy-go-lucky spring shades to elevate its look. Now, for the fun part: coiling a beautiful garland around the steps and making it look festive. You could even hang a small basket from the top step and fill it with flowers to add to the look.

If you find a watering can on your next visit to the thrift store, grab one to craft a custom door decor piece this spring. You'll also need a wood round for the base, but its size will depend on how big the can is. Decorate the can, attach it to the round at an angle, then use cascading flowers to create a whimsical look. For an even more magical touch, weave battery-operated string lights, like Brightown's 7-feet Waterproof Fairy Lights, among the blooms.
