Front Door Facelift The
entrance to your home makes a first impression and in real estate it can be the
difference between whether or not a potential buyer will want to see the interior.
It is often said, "Don't judge a book by it's cover"...well, this doesn't apply when it comes to selling a house. Luckily, transforming a lifeless entrance can sometimes be as simple as applying a fresh coat of paint. So, if your home's front door currently says "we're sleeping, not sure we want to sell," have no fear. The guidelines below will help you have a lively entrance. Try Using A Theme The introduction to your home is the front door, so it should be reflective of the inside. You might choose a modern theme with clean lines or you could go for something more traditional, with deeper hues and brass or antique-white fixtures, complete with features like shutters and flowerboxes. |

Shine A Light Choose a lighting fixture that fits with your theme and adequately illuminates the front door and house number for easy visibility at night. Don't forget to select energy-efficient bulbs that are intended for exterior use. |
|
Bring Your Door Alive With Color Choose a distinctive shade that still promises universal appeal. Steely blues, deep reds, or a sunny yellow - chosen to complement the house itself and any other trim - all make good choices. But, don't overlook classic white as an option either. |
