When you think of curb appeal, you might think of the front landscape or siding color. While these are both crucial to a home’s appearance, other factors go into creating a successful curb appeal. One of those factors is a collaborative entryway. This area is encompassed by various elements that all work together to make something beautiful. If you need some design tips, learn how to beautify your home’s front entryway instantly.
Consider an Open Design
Space is an essential aspect of welcoming someone into your home. This is why some houses have open areas, such as foyers in the front of their floorplans. The same applies to your home’s front entryway. An open entrance may contain a tall overhang and many extra rooms. Remember, don’t make your overhang the same standard eight-foot ceiling height because they may give the illusion of cramped space. Also, try not to over-decorate. Let’s review that idea a little more.
Keep it Simple
You might be tempted to decorate your home’s front entryway with seasonal elements and deck furniture. Some homeowners line the walkway with foliage, thinking it’s more welcoming. However, no one wants to step over plants to arrive at your front door. In addition, extra decorations can clutter an area, which won’t make people want to enter inside. Avoid hiding your front door and invite possible buyers inside with open spaces, bright colors, and minimal decorating.
Install Outdoor Lighting
This is an overlooked element. Installing outdoor lighting around your home’s front entryway will light up the front of your home and make it look inviting. For example, maintain your walkway illuminated with floor lights. Moreover, add in several outdoor lamps, or string some chic outdoor lights from the tree branches. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be expensive and is a fast solution to a drab entryway.
