Front Door Makeover: 12 Doorstep Upgrades That Will Boost Your Curbside Appeal

You might have spent years outfitting your living room to design perfection, buffed up your kitchen to 'gram-worthy levels and even whipped your cluttered entryway into neatly organized shape. But take a minute to look around and you might realize there is one area of your home that could use a little more love — the front door. It's okay, it's the one space that gets away from even the most obsessed design obsessives since it is so easy to forget about once you’ve crossed the threshold and dropped your keys. But it is also the first thing people see, and if it’s looking neglected and overgrown with cobwebs, you could leave guests with the mistaken assumption that you’re the type that celebrates Halloween year round. 

There’s no easier way to boost your curbside appeal than with a doorstep makeover. It’s a great place to take bold design risks, add some character and have fun (think statement mailbox, adorable hedgehog doormat and colorful planter, all below.) We’ve rounded up a selection of doorstep décor that will let passers by know that if your house looks this cute on the outside, it’s definitely got to be smashing on the inside. Who knows, you might even start a trend on the block.
