Trying to sell your home or just thinking of giving it an upgrade? The little things can go a long way and it’s no different for your front verandah. The front of your house plays an essential role in your dwelling’s appeal. Some captivating colours, unexpected embellishments, simple hardware switches, is all you need to spruce up your front porch.
We’ve pulled some simple and creative ways to give the face of your home a fresh and fascinating look.
Front Door Revamp
An easy way to instantly elevate the verandah’s curb is by bringing a stylish and chic front door. Analyse the style of your home and pick an appropriate modern or contemporary looking door to enhance the look of your house. If you do not wish to swap the entire door and yet want for a wow factor, go for a fresh coat of paint instead. A colourful contrasting front door will take the look a step ahead.
Light Them Up
You can’t go wrong with adding some practical lighting to your verandah. Consider having lights around your front door, even fairy lights hung from the ceiling, and some colourful lights in the garden area. Adding lights will give your home a more welcoming approach and if you are a digital savvy, you can always install motion sensor lights or connect them to your smart homes and schedule.
Have a seating space
A seating area just outside your front door would serve as a great morning routine for your cup of coffee and newspaper with a fresh view and a sense of alertness of your surroundings. You could go for a comfy coffee table with adjacent seating or a portable bench. This can also be an evening entertainment layout. To enrich your comfort you can also consider having a footrest or a cozy outdoor rug set down. If you’ve got a larger place to revamp with, consider installing a porch swing with mellow cushions and plush throw pillows.
Play with wood
The first impression of your house is the entrance, and what better than to enhance the aesthetic look of your doorway. To acquire a rustic look contemplate an option of a rectangular arch of Mahogany wood with delicately and intricately crafted apertures for the right amount of light to pass through, or an arch that runs in a wooden slab and a gap, alternating between the two. To ensure extra safety and protection especially with younger kids around, the area surrounding the porch can be fenced with low lying wood or a hazel hurdle fence. A creatively wooden carved design of your name plate or house number can amplify the overall feature of your entrance.
Hang Delightful Drapes
With your seating arrangement set and porch swing in effect, colorful drapes would be your final touch to a complete luxurious upgrade to your verandah. Along with the aesthetic pleasure that the drapes will bring in, it will also work as an easy to have privacy and a sun safe guard.
