Small Change, Big Impact: Entry


The first and sometimes only part of your home guests and neighbors see is the front entry. If you want to change the welcoming point of your home or just spruce it up, start by adding new potted plants to your porch. Large ferns, topiaries, and heavy leafed plants draw attention and add life to a dull entryway. These also look great in large urns or oversized pottery. Purchasing new, nicely finished house numbers can also add a personal touch and prove to be a worthy investment, especially when painted a vibrant red or bold black. Wreaths are an entryway piece that are easy to change and can be reflective of the season. They can be easily be made and spruced up with flowers, ribbon, and other small feathers, greenery, and decorations from your local craft store. Don’t forget the interior. Adding a bench, hooks for coats, or even a basket for mail can make your home seem more inviting.
