When you drive up to your house every day do you consider that it doesn't draw attention to those who pass it? Perhaps you have been focusing your attention at decorating the inside of your house, say by spending your money on furniture that is needed. If so, you probably put off decorating the front of your house until the furniture shopping was complete. Or, it might be that you have moved into a new house and you were able to furnish it totally, but the previous owners of the house didn't do much to beautify the outside. Whatever the reasons that you are planning to make changes for the front of your house, from making a list of what you want to change to selecting a front door, here are some ideas that might help you.

Make A Detailed Assessment - Consider taking pictures of the front of your house, some from far away and others close up. Then sit down with the pictures to look at them, paying attention to details that need attention. For example, by looking at the pictures you have taken, you might see that there is not enough color in the landscaping. You might note that the walkway going to the front entrance of your house is boring. And, the pictures might also show you that your actual front door doesn't add interest to the house. Write down everything you want to do to change the house's appearance. 

Now Make The Changes - Think of starting with a small project, the front door. Have you thought about how the front door can help to make a statement about the kind of house you have? For example, consider buying an elegant mahogany door that has glass and wrought iron as part of the design. Doesn't that indicate that the inside of the house will probably have a bit of a formal feeling to it? Now picture a front door that is painted in a bright red or a turquoise turquoise color. That might indicate that the inside of the house will have quite a bit of drama going on, maybe eclectic furnishings. Think of taking the pictures of your house with you as you talk to a salesperson at a front door service. The salesperson will probably have the training and the experience to give you ideas on which doors will look best with the architecture or your house.
