How To Transform the Front of Your Home from Blah to Amazing

Remodel Your Front Entry To Transform Your Home

It’s where you welcome family and friends and connect with the neighborhood. A RYCO front entrance and walkway creates an inviting transition into your home and connects all the elements of your landscape.

Complement your home

The exterior of your home should set the stage for design, textures and colors that you choose. Consider the architectural features of your home and other elements of your landscape for a cohesive look and feel. Use coordinating colors for paver walks or an accent color that matches with the home. Using accent colors can also help the entry pop from the road or as visitors approach the front door.

Natural Stone and Porcelain Landscape Tile are ideal for concrete overlay applications. Add pillars and accents with Unilock pavers and walls for a complete and elegant look. It can really make your front door and entry way stand out from the crowd when you add an additional landscape element. Use similar products as the facade of the home or something to complement the siding or color scheme.

Adding Curb Appeal

It’s no secret. Realtors will tell you that homes with great entrances sell faster and for more money. Dean Tubekis with Coldwell Banker in Barrington says, “Curb appeal affects (resale value) tremendously. Far beyond what you would think. It’s all how you feel when you pull up (to the home.)” Consider adding unique elements like contrasting borders and textures. Add planter boxes for green space and additional seating. A few special details or pops of color can go a long way. Details in the walk using alternate colors or different materials can bring a special touch to your front walk. Pops of summer color or planter boxes can really help the eye move towards the special features that you strive to highlight

Elements of Design

Scale. Proportion. Function. These are the elements of a great front entrance design. Remember, a front walkway should never be less than 4 feet in width at any point. The walkway should extend to the driveway to allow easy access from a parked car. See More Designs (http://photos.unilock.com/residential/project/entrances/)
