  • First Impressions Matter: Elements of a Successful Entryway

    If you think your front entryway could use an upgrade consider:

    • Making a statement.  Lead your guests to the front door by making the entrance inviting.  Naturally, your front door is the focal point of the entrance to your home.  Install a custom wood door or paint the front door a bold color.  Installing a stone walkway or upgrading the landscaping that enhances the home’s architecture are excellent ways to make a statement. Step back and take a look at the entryway. What would your guests notice first?

    • Using exterior lighting. Proper exterior lighting showcases your home while promoting both convenience and safety. Consider installing a motion sensing light at the front door, low voltage lights near the sidewalks, and lanterns perched on posts in the yard.
    • Investing in upgrades. Upgrading your entryway’s hardware, lighting, accessories, or furniture can finish the space. What would make the best first impression? Hand forged hardware?  New house numbers that make a bold statement? Furniture that invites your guest to sit and stay awhile?
