What message does the entrance to your home relay to visitors? You can easily create a very inviting and friendly front entrance.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First and foremost keep the entrance to your home free of clutter. Keep shrubbery trimmed and leaves swept away from the door.

  2. Step 2

    Almost any porch or front entrance has enough space for a welcome mat. That's a good start for creating an inviting entrance.

  3. Step 3

    If you have a front porch, place a couple of chairs and a small table on your porch. A setting like that invites people to sit and talk while enjoying a cold drink on a spring or summer evening.

  4. Step 4

    Lush green plants add beauty to your entrance. If you don't have room for plants or hanging baskets at your entrance, a colorful door wreath works well. An attractive door is a welcoming door.

  5. Step 5

    Sweet sounding wind chimes are also a good addition to an entryway.
