Hello World! Welcome Friends! Over the past couple of years, the housing market across the United States has been red hot, with homebuyers rushing to snag the home of their dreams even if it involved participating in bidding wars and waiving in-person inspections.
While the housing market is slightly cooler and there are less bidding wars, homeowners that work with reliable real estate agents are still selling their homes at desirable prices because many buyers have saved cash throughout the pandemic from spending time at home, which is helping to prop up home prices.
First impressions are everything when it comes to selling your home which is why you need to invest in improving your home’s curb appeal before you put it on the market. While it’s possible to sell your home as-is to an all cash buyer, homeowners generally get much higher prices by sprucing up their property and working with a realtor.
A simple, yet effective way to boost your home’s curb appeal is by decorating your entrance door. With that in mind, here’s a few tips to help provide inspiration.
Embrace a Natural Look and Feel
Homebuyers generally want authenticity in the property they purchase, which is why you should invest in some greenery such as a magnolia wreath, bouquet of lavender, or a eucalyptus, fern, and mixed berry combo.
You don’t need to have a green thumb to use this technique. Artificial plants and wreaths are typically fine, and they have the added benefit of you not having to worry about their upkeep.
Create Contrast
Painting the front door a bright color is a popular trend homeowners follow, mainly because the color causes a positive reaction. For example, a radiant red door with red flowers on a white or gray house helps make it pop.
Use Metallics to Make your Home Shine
Adding a door knocker and a door handle to your front door in a unique color are great ways to make your front door pop, in a practical manner. Additionally, you should also look into adding home numbers that are visible from the street. They don’t need to be too large, just enough so people can see them when driving up.
Generally speaking, bright chrome and satin chrome hardware provides an edgy look that pairs well with cool blues. Aged bronze stands out best against bold red and orange tones. If you have a green-focused color scheme, then a matte black may be best for you.
Use Symmetry
Symmetrical compositions are ideal for home decor because it’s naturally pleasing to the eye. For example, if you have room for one planter by your door, you should have a second identical version on the other side of the door. Similarly, having one wall sconce can look lonely. By adding a second, you’ll make a pair and your home will give off a more inviting vibe.
Making Sense of It All
The great thing about the decorative tips in this article is that they’re all simple to implement. They’re also just the tip of the iceberg in sprucing up your home. When it comes to making your home attractive, the sky’s the limit as every home is different.
