How to Upgrade Your Front Entrance

The front entrance of your home is the first thing visitors see, and also the most noticeable part of the home to passers-by. Upgrading your front entrance is easy, and increases the curb appeal of your home.

Fresh paint is an affordable, easy, and interesting way to update your home. Choose a color that compliments the style of your home, and the existing exterior colors. If you are looking for a more eye-catching look, try a darker color. A unique color scheme is the best way to stand out, but you don’t want to go overboard.

If you want a more natural look to your door, re-stain it. A nicely stained door will set your home apart from your neighbors’ factory painted doors. There are a variety of stain colors available to add a unique and beautiful change to your front door.

When you opt for contrasting colors, you add visual interest and personality to your home. A red door to contrast with your white home, or a light colored stain to contrast the dark stain of your house can create a beautifully eye-catching and bold look.

Finishing touches such as new lighting sconces, a door knocker, some plants, a new knob, a new doorbell plaque, or even a nice Welcome mat are other inexpensive little upgrades you can add to your front entrance to make it even more welcoming.

Your home is a reflection of you, and your personality. Making small changes to the entrance of your home can be a fantastic way to express your own style, and add some fresh appeal to your home.
