Decor Trends, Home Transformations, Other

The holidays are filled with entertaining guests and family members as you celebrate the most special time of year. With all these guests coming and going, your entryway becomes a key part to the daily activities. It’s the first impression as your friends and family approach, and it’s their last impression as they make their way out. The emphasis on a fabulous entryway have never been stronger.

Being in the door industry, we see homeowners falls short of creating a WOW factor for their entryways because they’ve gotten trapped into the same old wreaths that they’ve used year after year. It seems like the right thing to do. It covers up the worn out, beaten up door while adding a little holiday spirit to an otherwise not so appealing slab that keeps the cold out. This year, we want to spread the word that a wreath isn’t your only option. We want you to #DropTheWreath and checkout this amazing alternative to giving your entrance the WOW factor that it deserves.
