Spring in Chicago is the time of the year when flowers and plants begin to bloom. Why not hang them on your entry door? They can add a beautiful touch of color.

Many homeowners like to stick with traditional spring colors with their flowers. Pink, yellow, white and baby blue are all popular options. Be careful, as you don’t want your flowers to be too colorful. You want your spring door decorations to be eye catching not an eye sore.

Celebrate Holidays with Spring Door Decorations

One way many homeowners decorate is based on holidays. There are a few holidays in spring that you may celebrate. Here are a few you can look forward to between late March and mid June.

Easter

The Christian holiday Easter falls on the first full moon of the vernal equinox. That means it’s a different Sunday every year but it always falls in the spring. There are many Easter decorations you could display. Whether it’s bunnies, eggs or baskets of flowers, there is no shortage of ideas. Many people make their own Easter wreaths or hanging decorations. Get creative and have fun.

Ramadan

Unlike Easter, Ramadan can be any time of the year. It’s the first month of the Islamic calendar which is based off of a lunar calendar. That means there are 11-12 days less than a traditional calendar. This year, Ramadan starts on June 8th and will remain in the spring months for the next few years so it’s definitely worth mentioning.

The most common symbols displayed during Ramadan are moons and stars. You can find many different door hanging decorations online. Lanterns are another decoration offered that are associated with Ramadan but, if you light them with fire,  they can be dangerous near your door. If you want to display lanterns, get a pole and put it just outside your front porch. It can add to your entryway without putting your home in danger.
