Home Front Doors and Humble Entrances

Elegant entrance doors with stone walkway and bordering seats

The entrance way to a home is key to creating that warm welcoming experience. Not only for your visitors but also if you’re ever intending on selling your home. But above all, you want your front door to be welcoming to you too. When you arrive home, or invite guests and friends around, you want to feel a sense of pride when they arrive at your front door. 

Having a grand entrance is one thing, but for the people who live a more humble existence, a front door or entrance that is personalized and quite clearly says “this is my home, I love it, and I’m proud of it” is what you should be aiming for.

A palatial entrance to a home is a statement in itself, but for the more humble home, then there may be some dressing up required to create the look and feel you want. Think pot plants, think outside, outdoor art, think seats and chairs. There’s a lot you can do to dress up an entranceway and hopefully some of the images on this page might just give you some ideas of your own.

The elegant white double french door entranceway above is very simplistic. A statement in itself, the stone walkway leading up to the doors, the twin bordering concrete seats and the two coach lights give you a feeling of abundance inside.
