Since the interior of our home usually commands all of our design attention, the exterior can often become lackluster in comparison. This spring, elevate your home’s curb appeal by giving your front door a much-needed makeover. With a few modern tweaks, you’ll have an eye-catching entryway that is sure to keep up with the Joneses.

Get Creative with Color – Ditch the typical neutral hues and opt for something a bit bolder, like a rich blue or vibrant red, to instantly give your home a fresh, updated feel. Head to the paint store and pick up several color swatches to find the best one for your door. If you have a hardwood door or don’t have it in you to go crazy with color, a bright wreath gives off the same exciting effect.

Decorate with Detailed Hardware – Contemporary hardware in metals like brass and silver can easily enhance the look of your front door. As simple as it sounds, swapping out an old door handle with one with more detail can be a quick fix for an outdated entryway. A few ornamental details like a house number and a doorknocker give your front door flair.

Finish with Dazzling Details – Gorgeous welcome mats, potted plants and other whimsical outdoor accessories are the perfect finishing touches to modernizing your front door and giving your home a dash of curb appeal.
