The New Year is indeed an excellent time for you to enhance the front entrance and the foyer area of the home. An open, welcoming environment symbolizes your heart’s desire to embrace life’s joyful experiences, golden opportunities, and helpful people. First, start with rolling out a welcome mat.

The front entrance is what people first notice and makes an impression. So you should have your front door to the meandering pathway, which should be distinct from the driveway and have no obstacles and no overgrown foliage. It is important that you keep this area well lit at night.

As the season changes, let the décor change, such as summer flowers, silvery succulents, glossy greens, herbs, etc. This is because nature’s offerings can draw attention to the front door and jewel, that is, your home.

Add a special touch to the front door with sculpture, water features, or outdoor seating. And if there are constraints on space, you can add chimes and seasonal wreaths on the door, which show welcome to loved ones.

Feng Shui associates the red color with celebration and good fortune in the home. Paint the front door in a shade of red, such as terracotta, burgundy, or crimson.

The door, which has artistic appeal, attracts the positive eye.

Making your interior foyer area welcoming and gracious will provide a warm embrace.

Hanging the best painting in the house near the front door as a greeter will make a pleasant first impression.

If you have a large foyer, display aquarium, fountain, or antique furniture, be sure that you remove anything that invades the entry. And the closet doors, and keep the area clear of any migrating possessions such as papers, toys, etc.

Entrances should have a unique ambiance. Make sure your entry is greeted with beauty and light, and no darkness and no clutter. Add an elegant mirror to the hallway. Turn this area into an art gallery, but don’t overdo it. It should be like a kiss that welcomes you.

A personal creative touch will warm your home entrance and make a definite statement, making a better impression and thus literally welcoming the best life offers into the home.
