As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change colour, it’s time to give your front door some personality for the autumn season. It’s the perfect time to add warmth, charm and a touch of seasonal flair to your homes exterior.

First impressions matter

Don’t let the front of your home blend into everyone else’s on your street. First impressions happen in seconds, give your home curb appeal and set the stage before anyone even steps inside.

Use warm autumnal colours

The autumn season brings a whole new colour palette, which will make your doorway feel cosy and inviting as the weather cools. Our advice is to stick to 3–4 complementary autumn shades like burnt orange, deep reds, rustic browns and golden yellows.

Add natural elements

Adding natural elements is an easy way to make your doorway feel cosy this Autumn. 

Pumpkins and squash’s are the pinnacle symbols of autumn, bringing colour and texture, especially when different shapes and sizes are arranged together. 

Make it inviting 

To make your front door look inviting, choose a seasonal wreath with autumnal leaves, berries, mini pumpkins to instantly add charm. 

You could also update your doormat, a simple way to welcome guests. Opt for a mat that is durable for the autumnal weather, like coir or rubber-backed.
