Front-Door Focus
Hefty columns can help call attention to doorways hidden by overhanging eaves. In this zesty ranch remodel, two decorative columns define the doorway while lending architectural interest and overall curb appeal.
"An easily identifiable front door is critical for improving your home's curb appeal!" —editor Kelly Rawlings
Example of How Adding Columns to the Front of the Home Dresses up the Building
Added Dimension
The addition of a few columns and a pediment creates a sense of arrival at this front entry. A faux balcony dresses the second story, calling attention to the vertical height while making the doorway seem more intimately scaled.
"Exterior columns (both load=bearing and decorative versions) can be found at hardware stores and home centers. They're available in metal, wood, and molded high-density polyurethane." —editor Kelly Rawlings


A well Landscaped Entrance Creates

Welcoming Entrances

This cottage wears an open, welcoming smile now that old screens are gone from the front porch and the stairs and floor have been brightened with paint. Because the porch is only two feet from the ground, local building codes allowed the homeowners to do without a railing on one side.
