How to Decorate Double Iron Doors for Every Season

Double iron doors are some of the most beautiful door options available. They look luxurious, and even more basic design options tend to look a lot better than your standard hardwood doors. 

However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for decorating your double iron doors each season. 

Here are some tips to help you get the best look possible. 

Why Decorate Your Double Iron Doors Each Season? 

There’s joy that comes from decorating your doorway, and that’s more than enough reason to do it. That’s probably why you’re reading this in the first place. However, there are other reasons, too. 

When you decorate your doorway, you’re making entering your home a comfortable and inviting experience. That makes a world of difference after a hard day at work or some other stressful event. 

It’s not just for you, either. It makes your home stand out in your community, and your guests feel more comfortable right off the bat when they see the effort you put into making an inviting entryway. 

Don’t forget that your front door is what makes the first impression on visitors. When you put effort into decorating it, it makes a huge difference. 

Summer Decor That Brightens Your Entryway

Summertime is supposed to be bright, cheery, and full of color. You want to really create that vibe around your doorway for the summer season. 

This is pretty easy to do, too. 

We recommend getting some colorful summertime flowers and positioning them around the doorway. Dandelions, sunflowers, cosmos, and similar options are all great. 

If you want to decorate the door itself, you can use a wreath with a stunning effect. Wreaths aren’t just for the winter holidays. You can make them with summertime flowers, and they look absolutely jaw-dropping. 

Summertime is also when you tend to get more visitors. Whether they’re those annoying solicitors or simply kids trying to do a summer fundraiser for school, you’re going to get a lot of knocks on your door. 

Consider switching out your doormat to a summer-themed option that’s colorful and inviting, and maybe get two door signs that complement each other well. You can hang one on each of the double iron doors to make some creative sign combos. 

Of course, you might even have some summer holidays depending on where you live and what you celebrate. When they come around, make sure to add a bit of festive flair. Your guests will love it, and it helps raise the spirit of the community.

Fall Decorations to Welcome in the Harvest

Fall tends to be all about Halloween, harvests, and the beautiful shades of brown and orange that take over the plant life. To make a good double-iron door decoration, you want to lean heavily on those themes. 

Maintaining flowers throughout the fall can be difficult. Your list of choices shrinks dramatically. So, we’d recommend steering away from flowers entirely to bring in symbols of the harvest. 

Squash and pumpkin are extremely common, but you can also design little bouquets with dried varieties of corn, pinecones, and similar things that people expect from the fall season. 

One thing to note is that if you use real food, you will attract wildlife to your doorway. That’s a bonus for some people. Seeing the squirrels run up to pick at your harvest decorations is both a joy for you and something that helps animals prepare for winter. 

However, if you don’t want that, you can look for synthetic options that provide the visual without the potential pest problem. 

Of course, there’s also Halloween to consider. Across the US and Canada, it’s pretty standard for ghosts, ghouls, and all kinds of silly decorations with a darker tone to decorate entryways. 

You don’t have to wait until right before Halloween to do it. You can lean into the holiday spirit at the start of fall and stick with it. You might want to tone it down after the holiday is over, but atmospheric decor is in style all season long. 

Winter Decorations to Bring Warmth to the Cold Season

Winter is harsh in a lot of places, and your plant life options are limited. The good thing is, you can always lean into the holiday spirit, and even if you don’t celebrate, there are some seasonal staples that work without being as holiday-themed. 

First, try an evergreen plant that’s short and easily fits near the entryway. Preferably, flank both sides of the door for a uniform look. The good thing about this is that it’s not just winter decor. You can leave it up all year, and it’ll look amazing. 

Snowflake decorations can add a lot of charm to the glass panes of your double-iron door, and snowmen add a touch of whimsy. 

Adding more fun and silly decorations really helps bring the mood up around your doorway. That’s important when the season lacks sunlight and gets pretty depressing. It kind of makes your home a refuge for happiness and comfort. 

Bows and ribbons reminiscent of the holiday season are always welcome, and of course, you can do a lot with a simple wreath. 

Spring Decor to Welcome the New Year

Spring is all about rebirth and color taking over after a long and harsh winter. That’s the theme we want to go with here. 

First and foremost, it’s the perfect time to get an herb garden set up right next to your doorway and add some fast-growing flowers that will blossom within the first few weeks of the season. 

You will add a whole new scent to the entryway that invites guests, enhance the curb appeal, and, of course, the herb garden idea comes in handy for your nightly meals. 

With all the baby squirrels, birds, and rabbits moving around, a great way to enhance your double iron doors is to provide some whimsically designed habitat decor. A small bird fountain or feeder, a hideaway home for squirrels and rabbits, and similar things really bring the animals in and bring your doorway to life.
