Spring Decorating Ideas For Front Door
Create an Instagrammable entrance to mark spring and Easter this year with an extra-special floral front door display.
Doorscaping isn't just limited to Christmas, and if you take a quick look on Instagram you'll see that decorating doorways goes beyond just a door wreath, with full-scale door displays growing in popularity across all seasons, including spring and autumn.
Not only do these extravagant front door displays provide a backdrop for frame-worthy photos, but it brings instant cheer to neighbours and passers-by.
'The wonderful thing about a spring front door display is that you can totally tailor it for the size of your space. Whether that's styling up a full floral arch to transform a porch or taking elements of the display and using the same spring flowers to create a handmade doorway wreath,' says Rebecca Stanton, Creative Stylist at Dobbies.
'I love the element of surprise that comes with Easter decorating, as it's not as typical to see in comparison to Christmas. Once you see your home transformed and feel the instant spring cheer that's created as a result, I'm sure it will become a much loved and looked forward to tradition!'
So, how do you create a truly Instagrammable spring & Easter front door display? The experts at Dobbies have shared a step-by-step guide to help you achieve the look outside your own home.
Dobbies
What you will need
- Chicken wire
- Floristry wire
- Oasis blocks (floral foam)
- Greenery and foliage from your garden (for the base)
- Spring florals from your garden (florals used in this step-by-step are: Anemones, Daffodils, Hyacinth, Iris, Alliums, Ranunculus, Tulips, Freesias, Achillea, Antirrhinum, Hellebores, Stocks, Viburnum, English foliage)
- Artificial stems
- Cable ties
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
- Small step ladder (optional depending on how tall your doorway is)
Step-by-step guide
1. Create a chicken wire base, shaped to suit your doorway. The arch could frame the doorway or an asymmetric arch could work better.
2. Fill the chicken wire frame with oasis blocks – soak these in water so the fresh foliage lasts longer.
3. Begin arranging the base layer with greenery and think about the shape you'd like to achieve; will it be the same size all the way round the arch or would it be more impactful to start off full and thick and get thinner as you go along?
4. You are now ready to add fresh floral stems to the oasis blocks, remember to balance out the colour and texture throughout the arch.
5. Dobbies have added artificial stems to this archway, using Hydrangeas and Lavender. These can be added at this stage. Please note: artificial stems are not designed to be used outdoors so they must be chosen carefully and used in a porch or covered entrance to ensure they last.
6. Step back and enjoy your spring showstopper!
