How to add originality to the front door

Surely, you will agree that first impressions are very important. Just as a theater begins with a hanger, so your home begins with a porch. The exterior of the house is a reflection of its owner, and the exterior of the door is the most important element of the facade. Usually the owners themselves enter the house from the garage or through the door leading to the kitchen, the main entrance, most often, is intended for guests. Therefore, it is very important that the entrance door makes a pleasant impression and meets the security requirements. Unfortunately, homeowners often forget about both. Look from the side at your main porch. Is it safe, comfortable and attractive enough, how can I improve the appearance of the door? Perhaps everything looks great, and it will be enough just to add a welcome mat at the doorstep. If not, here are some tips.

Lock reliability

First of all, make sure that your locks are secure. How long have you been replacing them? A reliable system of locks will provide you and your household with the necessary sense of home security. The importance of this factor cannot be overemphasized. In addition, when choosing locks, handles and various additional accessories, you can be guided not only by the principles of safety, but also approach the issue from an aesthetic point of view. 

Door accessories

Want to add more finesse to your entrance? Install a door knocker, a special metal device for knocking on the door. Most often, such a device is made in the form of a ring, but sometimes it is a real work of art. A large number of different forms will help you choose the option that suits you. It all depends on your preferences. Agree, a door knocker will look much more interesting than a plastic bell. If you think that the days of door knockers are in the distant past, and prefer to use the bell, make sure that it is nice and in working condition.

Lighting to improve the appearance of the door

Is your porch lit at night? Facade lamps will perfectly cope with this task and will fit into the overall picture of a cozy home. Believe me, this little touch will literally transform your porch. You may want to put metal or wooden garden furniture on the facade. Then the entrance area will turn into an oasis of comfort and hospitality.

Holidays are a great occasion to further decorate the front door and porch. Wreaths, garlands, balloons and toys are sure to add a festive mood to the hosts and guests of the house.
