How to Style your Front Door for Late Summer

The thermometers all read mid-90’s but your Insta feed has been taken over with Halloween decorations…. Here’s how to style your front door for that post- July 4th, pre fall transition.

While I am a basic fall girlie deep to my core, I respect that there is a lot of summer left to play out before fall really begins (which is PSL day, in case anyone is confused). If you aren’t ready to swap your Red, White, and Blue decor for burnt orange and burgundy just yet, here are my top suggestions for a stylish, inviting front door that honors the season.

Pare it down

Don’t take your patriotic colors down just yet! Instead, swap the red or blue out for green, yellow, or let it breathe just paired with white.

Blue and white anything with greenery will always work!

Classics are key

Gingham and striped patterns are king for a reason! They’re not fussy and they play well with others. A gingham pattern in primary colors will sing on any front door (and be a great base for the incoming Back to School decorations that are coming in hot).

Stands alone or ready for a cute mini-banner celebrating the return of school!

Embrace the Sunset

Colors in the sunset palette (think deeper oranges, pinks, yellows) are perfect for these warm, late nights. Adding a deep green ribbon to compliment and your wreath will nail this in-between season.

The dreamiest colors to send off summer.

Conclusion

If you’re a mom like me, you probably have a million lists open on your phone to help get organized for the um-teen seasons ahead (school supplies, last-min vacation, does everyone have soccer cleats that fit? should we go ahead and pick a spot for Thanksgiving this year?)… Your front door should be able to hold it all while welcoming everything that’s to come.
