The entrance of your home says a lot about you, and it is one of the most important features of your home. No doubt after a long day from being away from home, seeing that front door in your sights is most welcoming.
At the same time if the home tends not to be appealing it can make you feel quite unhappy. It is not just the entrance door that is important. It is the entire front of your dwelling. It could be that the windows are outdated or are not functioning properly, or there may be a few repairs needed to the roof or perhaps even a new roof is in order.
Then it could be that there are only a few minor adjustments that need to be made to make the front of your home much more appealing. It could be something as small as a new paint job or perhaps incorporating a new front garden.
It all begins with making sure that you are giving the impression that the house has been well cared for and is clean and orderly. It’s one thing to have a nice flower bed but if it is loaded with weeds and unkempt it creates a negative impression. Even just sweeping the front walkway can make a big difference to its appearance. If you have a gateway to the home you want to make sure that it is not drab looking or squeaky and rickety to open.
The lighting at the front of your house is also very important. You want the lights to be clean and make sure that all the lightbulbs are working and are bright. Two important aspects to watch for here are that your street number can be easily seen and you want to be sure that the doorbell is working.
You can have a very simple garden and it doesn’t have to be a flowery one. Shrubs will work quite nicely as they add all year round color.
It is really important to have a good footing that leads up to your front door. It should be not in any need of repairs and it should be well-kept and clean. You don’t want to have a pathway that becomes the focal point, and takes away from the rest of the attributes of the front of a house.
You can really add to the personality of your home by implementing some garden décor that is tasteful and fits with the theme of your house.
You can use your front door to send a positive message to anyone that is looking at your home. You can make it the focal point by just using a vibrant but compatible color of paint. Make sure that you do not clutter the entrance, way as this takes away from the ambience of the home.
Having a welcome mat at your front door is a little investment but a good one. Not only does it make the home look warm and friendly, it helps to keep the debris outside the home and instead of them being tracked indoors.
