Front porch: A beautiful makeover

Your front porch serves more than a practical portal into your home because it displays the threshold of your imagination. It’s essential to make a positive first impression and a statement about your style, sense of design and hospitality; especially during warmer months when more guests are likely to ring the door-bell. Since you want to draw visitors in. The design and decor of your front porch can either get them excited and eager to enter or leave them feeling hesitant and pessimistic. So, if you’re ready to revamp your front porch, these ideas are sure to give your home a fresh look.

Try some greenery

Flank your front door with seasonal greenery and flowers for an instant refresh. Asymmetrical setup will create a more polished look. If you are a plant killer; don’t worry try plants like- Aloe Vera, Snake or Spider Plant, Heartleaf Philodendron and so on. These plants are low maintenance, stylish and cozy, adding a touch of nature to your home. And if you’ve already got plant beds, container gardens, or flower boxes; spend a little time cleaning them up to get them back in shape.

Rejuvenate with color

Update the look of your front porch and home with some fresh paint. Most front doors are polished wood with no personality. If you have a unique front door with a center glass window, wood-carved pattern or geometric pattern; don’t be afraid to go bold and non-traditional. Add your favorite color, and suddenly the same door has great personality, yours!

Colored doors are likely to be high on trends; medium to deep blues, blush pinks and lime greens are some colors that are trending. And if you’re not interested in a dramatic makeover, simply adding a fresh coat of paint to these elements can make them look new such as trim, and railings.

Enhance the details

Modernize your home with new and matching details and fixtures. These seemingly small changes can make a big difference such as house nameplates and numbers, mailbox, porch lighting. Don’t be afraid to ditch the traditional bronze and branch out into something new. Choose the perfect and diverse kind of nameplates and number such as acrylic, brass, engraved glass or wooden to suits your style and home. Tie everything together by choosing house numbers, fixtures, and a doorknob in the same style. Don’t just illuminate your front space to see, illuminate it for style. An interesting or quirky doormat can add playfulness, and bring a smile to your guest face. If you’re looking to light up the front of your house, consider landscape lighting for a highlighting effect that traditional porch lighting can’t offer.

Add something new

Add a letter slit to make sure your mail gets into your home safely. It’s true, apartments of Dhaka city don’t offer much porch space to create a lounge area, but if you are a fortunate one to have space at your door then add a tiny stool. It may seem unusual but it is very practical because we face issues putting or taking off our shoes whenever we go outside of our house or went into our house. A small sitting chair will instantly solve this trouble and will enhance your hospitality. Guest will be glad to see that you are trying to make their visit smooth and comfortable.
