No matter what style of home I have built over the years, the front of my home has always been the most important to me. It's where the first impression is made, and therefore should be a warm and welcoming one.
How can this be accomplished?
#1 The front door!....
Spend a good portion of your budget on the front door. To me it's the deal maker or breaker, so make it impressive.
#2 Paint the front door a great color!.....
If you can't afford an expensive door then why not paint the one you have a great color.Whatever color you choose make sure it's something entirely different then any other color on the exterior,this way it will really pop! (Unless of course you opt for wood)
Make sure you take your time to find something special and well suited to the style of your home.
Try putting these lights on dimmers, it offers a nice ambiance when people are arriving at your home at night. If you happen to have a large covered entrance, think about a outdoor chandelier,it's a beautiful look that's sure to get you the compliments!
#4 How about a mat or a beautiful outdoor carpet......
It offers a welcoming feel, and is a great way to bring in and inject some color or pattern
#5 Last but not least........
Greenery or flowers in beautiful pots. Why not choose something that has a beautiful shape or texture.
So there you go 5 easy ways to bring some pizzaz to your front entrance. Hopefully your first impression will be a lasting one.
Have a great weekend!
