The front entry is the gateway to your home. The entry should welcome guests or be a comfortable place to pause before saying good night.
A front entry can be a porch, stoop or landing (the most common), or a patio. Occasionally, they are outdoor living spaces with a dining area surrounded by a garden or a quiet place to visit with neighbors. The front door should be the focal point. The path between the street (or driveway) and the door should be obvious. This can be achieved through architectural details, color, lighting, plants, or any combination thereof.
‘Curb appeal’ is the catchphrase for homeowners who are looking to update the look of their front entry. There are simple ways to enhance the front entry of your home.
You can create interest by adding color and texture with plants. No matter what architectural style your home is, plants can liven up any entry.
Another simple way to change the look of your front entry is to add warm night lighting.
