The installation of your new entryway door is finished and the results are stunning. To complete this updated look, consider adding new lighting fixtures, decorative accents and a welcoming doormat. Here are some suggestions to enhance the overall look and boost your curb appeal.
Lighting Fixtures
The right lighting is not only for illumination, but can create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for your home. When choosing the best fixture to compliment your entryway you may first want to consider placement. Whether you choose a wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or a combination of both fixtures, the goals is to create a warm and vast pool of light that illuminates the entire area, including dark corners. Energy-efficient bulbs like CFLs or LEDs will last longer and be more cost effective.
Explore various fixture styles to add a touch of personality. Lantern styles and matching sconces are currently trending in interior design. Consider coordinating the color of your fixtures with your door’s hardware for a cohesive look. Or opt for a contrasting color for a more dramatic effect.
Have a Seat
If you have a larger porch area, some comfortable seating like a garden bench with cushions or wicker chairs can create a welcoming atmosphere. In smaller areas consider a few stools or a bench instead.
Engaging Decor
Enhance your personal style by adding a welcome sign or updating your house number plaque. Flower planters are an excellent way to infuse color into your outdoor space. Consider plants like zinnias, marigolds, cosmos or petunias, as they do well in the summer heat. A tasteful front door wreath made of greens and a ribbon can elevate your entryways appearance.
