Makeover Ideas for your UPVC Door

Published: 16th October 2024

Your front door is often the first thing visitors notice about your home, and a simple makeover can breathe new life into your entrance. If you have a uPVC door, you might be wondering how you can upgrade its appearance. In this blog, we’ll explore a variety of makeover ideas for your uPVC door that will help transform your entryway and elevate your home’s kerb appeal.

 

Decorative Flowerpots

One of the simplest and most effective ways to enhance the look of your uPVC door is by adding decorative flowerpots. Whether you prefer the look of vibrant blooms or elegant greenery, flowerpots on either side of your door can create a welcoming and lively atmosphere. Choose pots in colours that complement the style of your home and door and arrange seasonal plants or evergreens for year-round interest.

 

Add a Wreath and Ribbons

A beautiful wreath on your door adds character and a personal touch. While most people associate wreaths with the festive season, they can be used throughout the year. Depending on the season, you can swap out wreaths for different styles—spring flowers, summer wreaths or autumn leaves.

Ribbons are a lovely addition to add extra flair. Ribbons in your chosen colour scheme can be tied around the wreath for added texture and visual interest. For those with more creative skills, a DIY wreath can add a personal and unique touch to your front door.

 

Decorate For the Season

Seasons provide a great opportunity to change up your front door’s look. Whether it’s Christmas, Halloween, Easter, or even summer, you can give your uPVC door a seasonal makeover with decorations that match the time of year. During the winter months, you might want to opt for warm-toned fairy lights, festive wreaths, and decorative baubles. Spring can call for bright pastels and floral garlands, while autumn might inspire the use of pumpkins, gourds, and leafy accents. When attaching decorations to your door, be sure not to use permanent adhesives or anything which may damage the door.

 

Add Lighting

A well-lit entryway is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Adding outdoor lighting to your front door area is an easy and effective way to improve its appearance and make your home safer. Whether you prefer wall-mounted lanterns, sleek modern fixtures, or charming string lights, there’s a wide range of options to suit your style.

Lighting can highlight the architectural features of your home and create a warm, inviting glow. Motion-sensor lights add an element of security, while decorative lighting can be used to illuminate your pathway or garden area.

 

Can You Paint a UPVC Door?

While it may seem like a quick and easy option to change the colour of your uPVC door, we do not recommend painting it. Painting a uPVC door can compromise its finish and durability, leading to issues such as peeling, cracking, or fading over time. uPVC doors are designed to be low maintenance and come in a variety of colours that are resistant to weathering and wear.

Rather than risking potential damage by painting, it’s best to explore the many options available through manufacturers like Hurst.
