First Impressions: Essentials for Designing the Front Exterior of Your Home

First impressions are everything. A firm handshake, an ironed shirt, but especially the front of your home. The first feeling you and your visitor’s need to have upon arriving at your home is welcomed, which is why we’ve collected a variety of designs and assets that will spruce up the face of your space. Even the dogs will wonder how beautiful the inside must look!
While lawn upkeep and exterior architecture are important, it is the small, simply overlooked aspects to a home that are often forgotten, yet so very important in making a first impression.

Plants and Gardening

Who said your garden had to be in the backyard? With summer arriving, a very simple way to make your home look more sophisticated and welcoming is the use of plants. By planting a walkway, or laying out pots by the front door, it is easy to create a striking entryway for your home.


Not only are they beautiful, but the upkeep is simple and easy.

Walkways

An important factor to keep in mind when designing your front yard is the walk to the front door. What will your visitors see? Is it easily accessible? Does it go with the aesthetic of your home?


Luckily, walkways can be very versatile and simple to spruce up. Whether it’s stone, concrete, or something different all-together, make your visitors feel as though they are in good hands as they step off the curb and into your home by including fresh designs and assets, such as gravel, use of plants and more.
