While you\u2019re at it, your entryway could do with some sprucing up. After all, your <a href=\"https:\/\/dwwindows.com\/entry-doors\/\">entry door<\/a> is where you welcome your guests, so it should be cozy, warm, and inviting.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Invite plants<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Both internally and externally, you can spruce up your entry door by placing a plant or three around it. Rather than going with flowers, you can spice it up with some succulents, a fern, or a small evergreen in a pot on either side of your door. If your entry door is covered, you can hang a potted plant at the entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Plants aren\u2019t just for the outdoors either. If you have a table in your entryway, take some flowers or cuttings and put them in a vase in your entryway.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Summer wreath<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Wreaths aren\u2019t just for the holidays. Grab a wreath of leaves or faux tropical plants for your doorway. If wreaths aren\u2019t your thing, grab a summery-looking welcome sign featuring a sailboat, sun, or other fun summer elements. If you\u2019re feeling DIY, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.succulentsandsunshine.com\/how-to-make-a-living-succulent-wreath\/\">this tutorial<\/a> to make a living succulent wreath, perfect for summer!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Welcome your guests and welcome summer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you want to completely overhaul the decorations, choose minimal, lighter decorations featuring bright colors, pastels, or nautical themes to welcome summer. Pineapples have long been a symbol of hospitality, so placing pineapple-themed d\u00e9cor in your entryway would add a festive, welcoming touch to any home.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Clean around your entryway<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t swept away winter mud and grime from your entryway, it\u2019s better late than never! If you have trouble keeping your entry clean, consider investing in some stylish-looking organizers like coat hooks or shoe storage.<\/p>\n<p>This is also an auspicious time to ensure your entry door is secured against the elements. Although most people think this is a winter activity, think again. Your cool AC air could escape out the front door, taking your home\u2019s comfort \u2013 and your hard-earned money via increased energy bills \u2013 with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While you\u2019re redecorating your entry door, did you notice any cracking or breaking along the edges or panels? Has it been difficult to open or close for a while? If so, it might be time to replace your entry door.
