Creating The Perfect Entrance You’ve Always Dreamed Of

Everyone loves to take pride in their home; some people want their interior to be spot on and others want their exterior to have excellent curb appeal, however some of us just want the best of both worlds.

For some, getting our home to where we want it to be can take a little time, just like the saying “rome wasn’t built in a day”. Perfection can’t always be completed in a day, and to ensure everything gets completed how we want it, we like to take a little bit of time.

When it comes to home improvement, one of the best way to go about it is to start on the outside and work your way in. This is because if you home looks beautiful and eye-catching from the outside, people will think the inside is exactly the same. They’ll never know you’re still working on the final touches inside.

A great way to increase your homes curb appeal is by replacing your front door. Front doors are a great way to catch the attention of passersby, especially if it’s unique and has been chosen by you. This is because you’re put your personal touch on the outside of your home for the rest of the world to see.

Coloured doors are a great place to start as not many homes have them. They will add that little touch of luxury and personality to the exterior of your home, as well as the interior. Coloured doors now come in a huge variety of colours, with many companies offering different styles and designs.

Another way to create curb appeal and add to the beauty of your entrance is by installing over door canopies. Over door canopies are a little like protection for your front door. They create a protective cover against all weather elements as well as adding to the aesthetics of your home.

As well as protecting and looking beautiful, over door canopies are super easy to install and even easier to maintain. They are manufactured with Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), meaning they will never rot and do not require any future painting of maintenance. However to keep their appearance looking their best, it’s a good idea to give them an occasionally wipe over with warm soapy water.
