Help! How do I put some WOW on my door frame?

Have you seen what one of my friend's Chloe did to front door? You might like this ... https://celebrateanddecorate.com/welcoming-wisteria-vine-for-spring/

Can you paint the door trim (where the house numbers are now) the same color as the shutters? That would draw attention to the door and it would make the yellow pop even more. I am not sure what you have planted under the smaller window but I would add more and something taller. It looks rather empty in that area. Good Luck! Have fun!

paint the frame around the door the same color as the shutters a s then add some hanging baskets with colorful flowers on either side of the door

You could cut your own house numbers out of plywood and use a wreath for the Zero.

I think paint is a great idea for the door frame. Another thought is putting a potted plant that climbs on the left of the door, maybe a clemetis?

Even though you keep saying that you don't want to paint...Painting that trim around the door would be the way to go. It is an easy project (simple to repair the marks and dents in metal---easier than painting shutters) that will give balance to your entry. And because black never goes out of style, the black trim could remain no matter what color the door is painted. I have used black trim around my front door for 30 years and I still love the look.

Command hangers do not leave a residue. Since you do not want to paint. I would make a long plaque or old picture frame with a wood insert painted black. Attach the address numbers on the plaque vertically and hang it right under the light fixture. Hang a fake floral vine on the jamb where the numbers are along the top and just above the door bell. Use Command hooks.

Hi Margret, what I see is a lot of colors. Brown roof, tan siding, red brick, white trim, dark blue shutters, golden door, green carpeted step. So your eye doesn’t know what to look at. I would take your siding color and deepen/darker shade and paint your door and shutters. That way it compliments your surfaces you can’t change. If you want that last step covered get a dark color closer to brick color. You could try peel n stick on your door frame that matches your paint and it’ll be easily removable. Just a thought. Love to see what you end up doing.

Have you considered changing the color of the door?

Remove the blind and cover the window with window film or clings to make it look like stained glass. That window is gorgeous but not being highlighted properly.

You have a very "busy" area to work with and so I would suggest keeping any changes you make VERY simple. Most sugestions made have been nixed, so all I can say is SIMPLIFY! Less is More! :) Have a great day!

I like the idea above of the window film to make it look like a stain glass window, but I could also see your door painted in a brick red. Good luck!!!

Ok, front door has been painted black,, shutters have been taken off, cleaned and are now being painted black, this afternoon front steps will be black, and this week we are putting in flowerbed or shrub bed around the front sidewalk. New house numbers plaque is on its way, and a wooden sign that will lean against house under the numbers that says HOME with a paw print for the “O”we have a mini dachshund.....sign is black with white lettering....Since yard is so hard, have decided to level that area, put in edging, put down some dirt, set black pots with yellow flowers in (since day lilies are yellow in other bed) and blue spruce juniper in between. Mulch will be put down too. That way during the fall and winter can switch out the flowers. Hung 2 Boston ferns in front of window but it is very crowded now with the bistro table and the big plant, so am taking that plant and putting it somewhere else, maybe out back. The dwarf nandinas in pots will be moved as well. . Mailbox I painted with white flowers, white post will be arriving this afternoon, so that will be put up tonight as well. Now, the front flower bed is still growing, it looks bare there, under bedroom window, so really really need to put something there orange whirligig is being taken down this afternoon, lol. I would love to put the bistro table and chairs under that window, maybe paint it...but not sure if that will look worth a hoot. Any ideas what could go there that would be interesting, that isn’t bushes or trees or plants? BRICK IN FRONT WILL BE CLEANED THIS WEEKEND.....

Thanks so much guys!!

Hi everyone, I like your ideas, thank you for sharing. By the way, Margaret, your house looks great!

I really like it! Now, this door looks great, thanks for sharing with us the result of your work. Well, if I need any ideas, I come to Pinterest for inspiration. In addition, I visit various blogs and forums where I also find many great ideas for home renovation. Honestly, looking at your renovated house, I decided that I wanted a change and I think that the beginning of spring also influenced my decision. So I want to replace the front door and several windows in my house. Thus I found a company that makes the best replacement windows Seattle on the recommendation of my neighbors. Besides, they have a showroom and I will be able to find the front door at an affordable price there. Dear Margaret, I thank you for the post that inspired me to improve my home.

Here are 3 photos of the front of the house from last spring and autumn, after everything was completed. I wanted to also add in what we did to the carport in back yard that we now call the “Gazebo”. Right now it is a blank canvas waiting on weather to get warmer so I can play in flower boxes and planters again. May put in a funky big planter in front bed, and will definitely be putting a crepe myrtle in white at far edge of front flower bed. Looking for a bush, not a tree, want it to grow into an bush like shape instead of a tall spindly tree. Will keep everyone updated!!
