SidingRemodel the siding around your entryway doorway to allow a contrasting style to the other parts of your house. That makes your doorway stand out. It may be a different kind of siding or simply a different pattern or color. Make sure you select something that will not clash but is simply different enough to be unique.

Perhaps your entryway simply requires a few minor things for an approachable feel. In this instance, think of including potted plants in the corner of your front steps. These plants bring life and color to the outside of your house. If you are in Edmonton like we are artificial plants are also a great option to spruce up the front entryway without worrying about fall frost bite..

Is your front deck a bit too dark at night? Great lighting is important for both safety and convenience. Think of installing motion-sensing lights close to the front door. You can put lanterns on posts for general backyard illumination, and use low-voltage lights to light up walkways. Install a few light fixtures that not only illuminate the entrance of your house but add some flare to its style. Outside light fixtures are available in a huge range of styles so you will have choices when looking for the best one.
