The entryway is one of the most important areas of
a home. Remodeling the entryway to your home can boost value. After all, this
is the first stop for many guests and can break or make your curb appeal.
Planning for your entryway remodel can consist of more tasks than you think.
Whether you are simply updating an old look or getting a home ready for the
festive season, here are 5 affordable ways you can give your entryway an quick
makeover.
Paint up
A new coat of glossy bold, cheerful paint can do wonders
for a front door and trim. Even if you decide to forgo a bold color,
a good paint job can make an entrance look brand new. Take caution in going too
bold and avoid using colors that do not mix in well with the surroundings. This
is the first thing you’ll see when you come home every day, so make sure you
take the time and the necessary steps to create a clean finish that
will last a long time.
Suggestion: Ask for Michael in our Paint Department for great
choices in paint.
New Hardware
There are few things worse than broken or worn out hardware on
doors, especially the entryway. Fortunately, there are plenty of options at
your disposal when upgrading front door latches, including traditional, keypad,
and biometric lock sets. Use this as an opportunity to not only upgrade the
hardware to something newer and more advanced, but also the style. You could
choose something traditional or go with more of an accent piece.

Install New Glass
Adding or changing out the glass in your front door is another
great way to breathe new life into the space. A project like this isn’t very
difficult and can be done with your existing front door. Remember that your
front door is the entryway into your home and the first thing guests will see
when they visit. Choose something that really makes your house feel like home.
Updating Sidelights
Sidelights, or vertical windows on the side of an entryway door,
can give a unique touch to the look of a house. Not only does it add another
layer of design to the front door, but it also allows more light inside.
Unfortunately, if your home doesn’t already have one, it could be difficult to
construct space for them, but if you do have some already in place, it can be
relatively easy to upgrade to a new style.
Get creative and find a fun design or keep your privacy with
frosted glass.
Enhance Porch Lighting
Create a polished and sophisticated entry by choosing the same
color or metal finish for exterior elements such as entrance hardware, door
knockers, and porch lights. You might even consider a smart light system that
automatically turns on during scheduled times and can be controlled by your
smartphone. You can even buy a smart lightbulb to upgrade your existing
fixture.

Upgrade Landscaping
Placing containers of flowers near the front entry is an easy
and inexpensive way to add a dose of eye-catching color. Go bold with color to
see the containers from the street.Plants can add vibrant colors to the front
of a home and are an excellent way to take up decorative space. Consider
installing hanging plants to draw the attention upwards or large wood
planters for a more rustic appearance
