Your front door has an enormous impact on your curb appeal, as it’s the first welcome your guests get to your home. Fortunately, you don’t need to spend a lot of money replacing your door to give your home a fresh update. Below, the home improvement experts at Nunda Lumber & Hardware in New York share a few easy ways to boost your curb appeal in a weekend project.

Easy Home Improvement Projects for an Attractive Front Door

1. Paint

Painting is an affordable and easy way to completely change the look of your home, and the sunny weather makes summer the perfect time for this project. Try adding a bold pop of color to draw the eye to your porch while adding some personality to your home. Tie the color into the rest of the home, such as matching the color of your shutters or choosing something that contrasts nicely with your siding color. Consider freshening up the trim around the door at the same time.

2. New Hardware

That dated hardware could be detracting from the image of an otherwise beautiful front door and porch. Choose a style that matches the overall aesthetic of your property, whether that’s contemporary or rustic chic. New hardware could mean adding a mail slot, peephole, door handle, house numbers, or door knocker.

3. Statement Lighting

Lighting is essential for your nighttime curb appeal and can boost the security of your home by deterring burglars. If your porch is large enough, add a statement light over the entryway. Smaller porches could simply have a pair of lanterns hanging on either side of the door. Just make sure your fixture adds enough lighting that people can clearly see where they’re walking as they approach the door. Symmetry is aesthetically pleasing, so keep that in mind as you plan your new statement lighting.
