The front entry steps of your home are the first things visitors see, and this will undoubtedly be used by visitors and neighbours to form an impression of the inside of your home. There are a few simple ways you can change the look of your steps and make your home more appealing and welcoming to visitors.
Clean & simple – The quickest, cheapest and simplest way is to keep your front steps clean. Sweeping, at least 3 times a week, and hosing down at least once a week will prevent build up of dirt that can cause your step to look ugly. The use of a power-wash is quite effective in getting your step to be spotless.
Be decorative – Add some decorative touches to your front steps. A decorative doormat with a fun pattern for the top step will instantly give the entryway character and personality.
Add some color – Whether your steps are wooden or concrete, a fresh coat of paint can instantly update a tired, worn entryway.
Hide the concrete – Capping concrete steps with elegant stone works will give new life to a concrete step. Using tile is also a great option. Tiles provide great design versatility.
Add a railing – If your front steps don’t have a railing – or the railing is showing its age – adding one can instantly change their look.
