A beautiful entrance speaks volumes about a home, so it is worth highlighting its details and characteristics, since it is part of the main façade, it is our letter of introduction and the first impression we will give to guests visiting our home. 

With your personal stamp and dose of creativity, the entrance can be renewed; sometimes with simple details or with more complex elements. If you feel it is time to give a new look to the entrance of the house, in today's book, we will give you 16 ideas that will inspire you to renew it as soon as possible. 

1. A change of color

Colors have the ability to transform spaces and our mood. To give a renewed air to  the entrance of the house, a simple and very effective solution is to change the color of the walls that frame the main door. The choice of color should be in harmony with the rest of the facade, but if neutral colors predominate, it is well worth the risk, choose a color that makes you smile every day.

2. A garden

Decorating the spaces of the home with nature, gives them an elegant aesthetic, fresh and full of color and textures. A front garden is an excellent idea to renovate the entrance of the house. The size will depend on the space you have available, the best thing is that there are alternatives even for the smallest and narrowest dimensions.

An alternative to have a front garden, which will not take up space but will highlight the beauty of the entrance, is a green wall. As you can see, just a strip of plants on one of the columns of the entrance completely transform its appearance, enhancing the beauty of the entrance to the home. 

4. Pathways

Pathways are a fantastic idea to decorate the exterior areas of the house, and at the entrance they emphasize the access, guiding the visitors along a route that can be interesting if you add attractive materials as we can see in this image. The combination of stone and wood is ideal, natural and full of texture and subtle contrasts.

5. A water source

Fountains offer an incomparable beauty in the design and decoration of the home. Its constant sound is relaxing, harmonious and is a very original idea to put it in the entrance of the house. There are designs that adapt to any space and budget, so it is an option that should not be ruled out.

6. Creative signs

The number of the house must have adequate visibility and be visible to all. To give it more emphasis, you can place it on a planter near the door with lighting that makes it visible at night.

7. Security and beauty
