If it’s too petite to accommodate a console, a bench, or other functional items, you can surely hang a mirror or artwork to greet guests-and of course, yourself. Don’t think of it as a mere vestibule make it as much an expression of yourself as the rest of your home. Live in an apartment? Maybe you can personalize your unit’s front door with a wreath-if not on the side facing the hallway, on the inside (use it to frame the door’s peephole!).Įxtend your sprucing up beyond the front door into your foyer. Assess whether you need a sconce above your house number or a brighter pendant to better illuminate your front steps. At least as important is attractive and effective outdoor lighting. A front door with a fresh coat of paint and flanked with planters lets guests know they’re welcome. Your home doesn’t need a front porch to make a good impression, of course. If your porch has a roof, consider adding an outdoor-suitable ceiling fan so that you’ll make the most of the space even on hot days. An outdoor rug and a few plants, real or faux, will make this spot one where you can easily entertain friends or chat with neighbors. Bring out a few cushioned chairs and a garden stool or side table on which to place a pitcher of lemonade. If you’re of the same mindset and have a roomy porch or veranda, consider furnishing it to function as an outdoor living room. According to Pinterest, people are focusing more intently on ensuring their homes’ first impressions are memorable ones. Now that, post-pandemic, we’re engaging with the outside world again, we want our outside spaces to be engaging as well-in particular, our front porches and entryways.
