First and foremost when designing the entrance to your house, it is important to define its location with respect to the facade. This is so that there is no confusion in the housing project between materials or different colours. The entrance must be a place that's visible and inviting.

In this article, we are going to show you eight things that you need at the entrance of your house in order for it to be as fabulous as you've always dreamed. From lights to textures, even windows, there are plenty of different ways you can style up your front entrance that invites loved ones in and brings envy to passersby. 

Get ready to get wowed!

1. Two coatings

To accent your new wooden door, you can cover the walls with some materials that enhance it. The combination of two coating materials gives a special interest to that entrance, like the combination of wood and glass, stone and wood, clay brick and wood, and stone slab and concrete. These are some of the best ways to get that oh-so-unique entrance that no one else can match.

2. Lights that highlight textures

The textures of the walls of your home give character to it, and depending on the texture, the style is also defined with the type of coating you use. The colour and material used in floors and doors must correspond to that material. Lighting is important because a texture, however interesting, in the darkness of the evening night is completely lost unless the perfect light shines on it.

3. Leveling up

When you go up the steps to a home, you feel that space as more important. You feel that the home itself has been lifted up on a pedestal and you are reaching for something far better than what you left below. If you can, create a gentle walkway for your guests to arrive to your home. A gradual incline suggests a sophisticated home, while a steeper one might suggest more modern.

4. Panoramic windows

An entrance with large windows allows a natural clarity to enter the entrance space, and the result is magnificent! In addition, a panoramic window, like this one, framed by wood is a sophisticated and special detail that's enhanced by a design of panels of glass and wood, making the perfect combination. Not only is it a particularly appropriate design, looking from the inside for the clarity it brings, but simply in terms of the facade, this entry is phenomenal.

5. Wooden doors

The material for the door can make all the difference in how your entrance is perceived. A wooden door gives the warmth you need to welcome those who visit you and especially you when you come from work and just want to kick off your shoes in your home sweet home. A door made from solid timber or oak will welcome you with warmth and it will always be present!

6. Landscaping the sides

Ornamental plants will always be the best companion when it comes to defining access to the house, so do not skip them. Try   plants that are of a height that does not hide the entrance, and look for ones that have low maintenance and are not of season. For you enthusiastic flower-lovers, this gives you a lot of options. Pick a colour that complements the material of the door or the colour of the façade. The white chopped stone highlights the green of the plants and your garden appears more clean and tidy.

7. A small portico

The porch of your house can go unnoticed and make your entrance blend in just like any old one. But what do you think of this portico? With a design like this that is well built with interesting details, it makes the front of your home look like the gateway into another world! This portico came with this house, but if you don't have one of your own, no worries– let one of our trusted architects take care of the design according to your style.
