5 Steps To A Front Door Facelift

This article is supplied and sponsored by Pella Windows and Doors of Philadelphia.

Spring is a great time to give your home's entryway a little love after a long winter. Enhance your home's curb appeal and make a statement by revamping your front door. A simple splash of color and a few fresh accents can go a long way without breaking the bank. Here are five tips to help you improve your front door curb appeal this season:

1. Add bold color
Your front door is one of the first things people notice about your home. Add a touch of personality by switching to a bold front door color like red, yellow or blue. It's amazing what a new coat of paint can do! If you're feeling daring, try repainting your home's exterior or trim.

2. Revamp your hardware
Replace your front door hardware for a quick, easy facelift. You can choose to replace outdated hardware with beautiful bronze-rubbed or nickel pieces throughout your home for an easy refresh.

3. Add a little light
For a beautiful nighttime glow and enhanced safety, add exterior accent lighting to your walkway, or stylish new light fixtures to your entryway. The perfect lighting helps create a warm and welcoming feel.

4. Get growing
Re-energize with fresh and colorful potted plants, or beautiful new flowerbeds. You'll love the smell of fresh flowers all season long!

5. Accessorize with color
Is your welcome mat looking a little, err...unwelcoming? Try a colorful doormat to add a sense of fresh playfulness, or paint planters for a bold look.
