Landscaping plays a huge part in beautiful curb appeal. This home certainly took advantage of that with all the incredible foliage and shrubbery surrounding the otherwise humble entrance.
To make your home stand out, consider painting the front door an inviting color like this beautiful turquoise door. It will make your home memorable.
The lack of a garden is well made up for with the beautiful pink flowers that extend the length of the door and a little beyond. Such a beautiful way to frame the entrance.
If you have a front porch or patio, place a couple of chairs and table to show off the space and give it a sense of home.
Creating an inviting entry space can be as easy as placing some pretty potted plants and a cozy bench by the front door.
Landscape lighting can make a world of difference in your curb appeal. Leave the lights on for a while in the evening in case buyers decide to drive by.
A red front door can always be counted on to catch someone’s eye and make a great first impression. If a red door will fit with the color scheme of your home, it’s a good idea to consider painting it while it’s on the market.
If you have intricate detailing on your front door such as these forged iron doors, it’s best to keep any foliage simple and let the doors speak for themselves.
If you have a small space by the front door, let the landscaping be your foliage and add a welcome mat and some lanterns to add interest to the front door.
