You have enough to worry about with your entire interior design scheme, but the truth of the matter is that most people will only ever see the exterior of your home. It can make a world of difference if you change certain aspects of your home’s exterior. It might seem a little early to think about this with winter currently in full effect, but it’s never a bad idea to start planning for future projects in advance! It’ll also give you something to look forward to in spring (besides warmer weather!).
The doorway to your home functions on both a literal and figurative level. Obviously it’s the way people enter and exit your home, but it’s also the entryway to your home’s style and decor. Why settle for something boring or expected? Try changing up the color of your door to better represent your home’s style. Use a natural wood that mirrors your home’s wooden accents or give it a splash of color that ties into the themes of your home. If you have a white exterior then consider painting your door black for a striking contrast that will make people take notice.
Your home’s front door is significant, but so is the space around it. Most entryways have very standard flooring. The few feet leading up to the doorway are an underutilized space for style. Try installing patterned tile to create a grand entryway! You can also borrow from the doorway ideas and continue the thematic styles from your home out onto the flooring. It’s also important to think about the way that you’re lighting your entry. A light fixture at your doorway is the perfect opportunity to showing off style. Pick one that matches your door! Another smart idea is to place potted plants around your entryway to make your home feel like it’s bursting with life and energy. Succulents and other desert plants are a chic, modern choice!
