We’re experts in dressing up houses. We’ll show you how to make yours not only the envy of your neighbors but more attractive to potential buyers too.
Install Exterior Shutters
Shutters add personality and will bring a welcoming feel to your home. Not only do they limit light, but they also give added security.
Exterior shutters can be made from all sorts of materials, including resins and vinyl. This can make them last longer and easier to maintain.
Spruce up the Front Door
When it comes to impact, the front door is probably the most important part of your home’s entryway. If it’s not up to scratch, visitors may question how well maintained the rest of your home is.
Give your front door a color boost with some fresh paint. Or, why not install a new wooden door for a more rustic feel. Make sure you keep on top of cleaning the area around the knobs and locks, removing dirty fingerprints.
Update Those Fixtures and Fittings
House numbers, mailboxes, and overhead lights can add a touch of style to your home. Consider getting rid of rusty fixtures and perhaps look into giving your home a name with a modern sign. Go for themed designs over mismatched fittings.
A new entry door lockset in a contemporary style could take years off the look of your front door. Your locksmith should be able to give you more ideas and carry out the installation.
Perfect Symmetry
Arranging similar plants of a similar size on either side of your entryway is attractive and easy to set up. You could also think about installing matching lights or lanterns on each side of the doorway.
Matching floor tiles with a symmetrical pattern bring a touch of class to any entryway. Replacing that shabby welcome mat is also one of those must-dos when it comes to giving the best impression.
Decorative Planters
Invest in some ceramic pots or planters in which you can show off your favorite flowers or shrubs. Go for plants that will thrive over time. Choose a pot that suits your style from modern to rustic.
Wooden barrels are also ideal for creating your own mini-garden. Adding a splash of natural color to your entryway has never been so easy.
Make Use of Extra Space
If you have a big porch or veranda outside your front door, make use of it by creating a seating area. They’re a place potential visitors can imagine sitting for their morning cup of coffee. You can even set the scene by arranging some cups.
If space is tight, then there might still be room for a bench or small table. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s in great condition and add some fresh colorful cushions.
