Add Potted Flowers
Adding potted front yard plants to your home will add a splash of color that visitors cannot help but notice. Many flowers thrive in Texas – even in the summer. Placing tall pots of flowers on either side of your front door will create an inviting entryway for your guests. If your home has a covered entrance, you can place hanging pots to save on porch space. Finally, a long trough planter can line the front of your home with a range of flowers, adding variety.
Keep Things Cozy
Adding furniture to your front house décor to create a comfortable sitting area lets visitors know that they are about to enter a relaxing and welcoming home environment. A good, old-fashioned swinging bench is still an excellent addition for covered entryways since they bring a sense of tranquility to your home. You can also try an egg chair made of a light, all weather material like wicker or rattan for a more modern look. Make sure to add a small table for drinks for those days when you and a friend want to just chat and sip a cold iced tea.
Add a Bit of Privacy
Privacy screens or grids add texture to the front of your home and create a comfortable, private area for you and your friends to gather. They help protect the front of your home from the elements and offer a safe place where delivery employees can leave your orders, away from prying eyes. You can opt for a more solid privacy wall or go with a more natural look by purchasing a lattice wall and planting vines near it. Over time, the vines will grow, creating an impressive natural display. If you do not want to wait that long, some walls come complete with synthetic leaves.
Let There Be Light
If you are really trying to draw attention to the front of your home, a single sconce just will not do. Adding layered front door lighting to your home will make it easier for guests to find their way around your home and highlight your newest design additions. Spotlights or uplights are a great way to bring attention to plants, decorations or other features. Why not add a hanging lamp to provide even lighting across your front door for covered entryways? The right lighting can make your home stand out - day or night.
The right front house décor gives guests a preview of what they will find inside. Looking for some more front home design inspiration? Explore Perry Homes’ gallery of homes for some outdoor design ideas that will transform the look of your home.
