Use Your Christmas Door Decorations To Greet Guests

For those that may not have the time or the budget to invest in a lot of outdoor Christmas decorations, why not consider spending some extra time creating a beautiful Christmas door decoration instead? This is a popular way to make a holiday statement that everyone will appreciate.

The Classic Wreath

Perhaps the most well known option for Christmas door decorating is the wreath. It is simple, beautiful and traditional. In many cases, this is all that you will need to communicate your holiday festivities to those who visit you.

Wrapping Paper

Another way to add a much bolder statement to your Christmas door decorations is through the use of wrapping paper. If you want to cover your front door in something amazing try this. Use beautiful metallic colors such as silver, gold, green and reds. You may want to invest in an oversized bow to add to it to complete the look. This is a very low cost way of decorating the door!

Other Methods

There are other ways to decorate your door. For example, why not cut out a big snowman out of a large piece of cardboard. Or, choose a Santa instead, or even your own idea. Decorate with paint and a bit of talent, and you have a unique, handmade decoration. Add additional items such as cotton balls to make Santa's beard. Use felt for his suit!

You may want to consider what is happening as guests arrive at your home. For example, add lighting and decorations to the space that leads up to your front door so that the Christmas door decoration stands out and looks perfectly placed. Some items that you may want to consider including small, even mini sized trees and decorative wreaths. You may want to consider wrapping the inside of the house in the interior section with paper too. A good place to get ideas is at schools where teachers often decorate their doors!

Perhaps you want to do something that will make a grand statement. For example, why not create a front entrance to your home that is actually just a huge greeting card? Purchase oversized cards from the local craft store to create them. With a festive greeting on the outside and a place for guests to sign on the inside, it will serve not only as a Christmas door decoration but also something to help you remember the time.

Christmas door decorations help to create a beautiful entertains to your home and can be great ways to collect memories from year to year.

How To Determine Door Handing Upon ordering lever sets or lock sets you may be asked whether it's a right hand or left hand door. What is it exactly? And how do you determine the door handing? We split this information into two parts, since there is a difference between interior or exterior doors. Interior Doors Enter your house or office, walk through the hallway room by room and carefully observe the doors, you will notice that some doors will swing rightwards (hinge on your right hand side) and some will swing leftwards (hinge on your left hand side). Now, the key to understand interior door handing correctly is only when the door swings inwards, away from your body (where you see the PUSH sign). In most such instances you will find yourself standing outside the room. See image. But if the door swings towards you (PULL sign), simply jump to the other side of the door, or imagine yourself pushing the door, and refer to the image guide to avoid confusion. Exterior Doors The only difference that may affect you is when you will be using a mortise entry lock on your exterior door. But if you will be using a tubular lock set (deadbolt on escutcheon, non-mortise) then its pretty much the same as described above as to interior doors. And here is why a mortise lock needs further clarification. A mortise lock is built of a piece of mechanism that must be configured in accordance to the specific entrance used to function properly. Thereby originating another term in determining exterior door handing, that is RHR (Right Hand Reverse) or LHR (Left Hand Reverse). Now, stand outside the street or public hallway and attempt to enter your house, if the door swings away from your body by PUSHING the door, its the same as the image above, hinge on right is Right Hand, and hinge on left is Left Hand, Simple? If, the entrance door swings towards you by PULLING the door, then hinge on right will be Right Hand Reverse and hinge on left will be Left Hand Reverse In short, RHR is basically same as a LH door, you interior doorsONLY specify RHR when ordering a mortise lock. For all other applications its a LH door. And so to LHR that equals RH door. Note, some manufacturers have designed a mortise lock that can be adjusted according to the door handing, and no RHR or LHR specification needed. Check out the Inox NY Mortise Handle set Entry, also view it's specification sheet to understand it thoroughly.
