Every year, as soon as the weather warms up, I get the urge to refresh everything – my wardrobe, my home, even my go-to coffee order. There’s just something about spring and summer that makes us want to bring in more light, more color, and more of that easy, breezy feeling. And one of the simplest ways I’ve found to do that? Updating my front door wreath.
It might seem like a small detail, but swapping out a wreath can completely change the feel of your entryway. It’s that first little “welcome” before you even step inside – a way to instantly brighten up your home without having to rearrange furniture or commit to a full-on porch makeover. And if you ask me, it also makes the front door feel a little more put together, even if the inside of the house is… well, a work in progress.
Spring and summer wreaths are especially fun because they capture the energy of the season – whether it’s soft florals, fresh greenery, or something a little more playful like citrus or coastal-inspired elements. Whether you’re a DIY pro or someone who prefers to grab a ready-made wreath, there are so many beautiful options to choose from.
