Paint the front entry door

One of the first things that people see when they look at the front of your house is your front door. A new coat of paint on your front door can give your home a fresh new look and style.

There are lots of options when it comes to painting your front door. You can go bold and eye-catching to enhance your front door as a visual centerpiece, or more subtle yet classy for an understated but stylish look that complements the rest of your home’s colors.

Many homeowners are opting for bright colors, like blues, greens, reds, and even oranges to give their front door some fresh new “pop.”

Add greenery and flowers

Greenery and flowers are common decorative features, but many homes could use some updating in the area of plants and flowers. Trimmed, well-kept greenery, like shrubs or ground ivy, can give a natural, welcoming feel to your home. Flowers can provide a cheery first impression.

While planting is certainly an option, you don’t even need to get you’re your shovel to add some greenery or flowers to your outdoor space. A few well-placed potted shrubs or flowers are quick, easy options. Bright, low-maintenance plants are best for sprucing up your home’s curb appeal.

Add functional & decorative Lighting

Lighting is a versatile way to improve your home’s curb appeal. You can go subtle or bold, or anything in between.

You might consider replacing old, worn-out lighting fixtures with a newer, more contemporary style. Changing out your bulbs for more energy-efficient LEDs can also give you more options for brightness or color tones.

Some string lights can give a soft, festive feel, especially on a front porch. Adding some solar light along your front sidewalk or flower bed can give a welcoming look.
