Your front porch is the gateway to your home and the reaction it gives off can make a lasting first impression to your visitors and guests. Not only does this entryway spark personality but the design also leads your company to believe that a carefully crafted, welcoming atmosphere is important to you as a homeowner. So, since spring is the season of entertainment, both indoors and out, how about we highlight some ways that you can create a refreshing entry area to your domain.
Regardless of whether you enjoy tasteful, artificial greenery or small, graceful succulents and cacti, potted plants are a beautiful way to spice up your front porch. With a fresh collection of colors and a variety of crisp blooms, cultivating a charming and stylized look allows you to forge a flourishing landscape and give off an elegant appeal for the guests standing by at the door. Not to mention, potted plants are an effortless way to jazz up your outdoor space with the ability to hang them in baskets next to your outside LED lights or gracefully put them on the steps leading up to your entrance. Also, remember to take a step back and observe your surroundings from a distance in order to inspire you to embrace a more dramatic effect.
While not every homeowner has the luxury of having a spacious front porch, think of your outdoor spot as a room and add some seating anyways to allow for guests to enjoy the surroundings. A simple wicker chair, stool or bench can really add a welcoming element to your entryway. Not to mention, it can double up as your own personal reading nook when you need a little getaway from everyday stresses. Outdoor seating doesn’t just become a nice spot to relax when your guests are around, keep in mind it can also serve as a place to put on shoes, search for your keys or even people watch.
While it’s always best to utilize the adversity of neutral tones inside your home, just in case you ever want to change up your design, your front porch is the perfect place where you can be bold with color. After all, big, beautiful, vibrant colors are warm, enticing and give off this “door’s always open” appeal. So, let your front door and elegant window frames speak to your home’s architectural style as well as your lively personality. Start by slapping on some impactful, shiny colors so that you can easily accent the area with some vivid furniture, plants and decor.
The best part about redecorating your veranda is being able to admire it both day and night. That’s where some aesthetically pleasing outside LED bulbs may help to brighten up your alluring space. Some simple directional lights can be used as porch lights because they downlight the area so that your visitors can see where to push your doorbell. While some step lights can be used as safety features so that your guests are able to see their foot placement before they begin walking up the staircase. That being said, area lights are also a promising form of outdoor LED lights, as they boldly illuminate your gorgeous flowerbeds.
Be sure to invest the extra money and upgrade to outside LED lights for longevity, brilliant vibrancy and as an eco-conscious lighting alternative.
