How to Revamp Your Entry Door Before the Holidays

Improving Curb Appeal Is Simple

If the heart of a home’s interior is the kitchen, then the heart of its exterior is the entry door. The right entry door not only has the power to enhance curb appeal, but also allows you to express your unique personality as a Philadelphia homeowner.

Start by Making a Statement

Choosing the right door material is a great place to start, but style and color decisions are just as important. You want to pick a door that will last a lifetime, but is still on trend. An easy way to accomplish this is to pull inspiration from one of the biggest curb appeal trends happening now: bright and bold, painted entry doors.

Pella's Vibrancy Collection has six bold new color options available in Vivacious Red, Lively Blue, Spirited Orange, Animated Yellow, Sparkling Teal and Energetic Green.

Create a Warm and Inviting Space

Pella’s traditional collection of wood-grain fiberglass doors are the perfect way to marry old and new trends this fall. The classic wood-grain gives your home a warm and inviting entrance that offers a low-maintenance, rich and enduring look.

Decorate with Seasonal Planters and Flowers

Planters make any entryway welcoming to family and friends. Choosing the right types of flowers can also help homeowners celebrate the seasons. Popular choices for fall include mums, ornamental cabbage, ornamental peppers, sedum or ornamental grasses.

Placing a potted mum at your entry door is an ideal spot to keep its bloom alive--even when the leaves start to fall. Make sure your mums are in a sunny location where they can get at least six hours of sunlight throughout the day.

Let More Light In

As the days become shorter and shorter, there is no better time to welcome more natural light into your home. Entry door sidelights are a chic way to allow more natural light into your home while still maintaining the privacy you want.

Installing a new entry door isn’t just about increasing aesthetics and home value. A quality entry door can improve a home’s energy efficiency, helping to lower heating and cooling costs.
