Easy Front Door Makeover

1 Use symmetry to give your front entry a pulled-together look with minimal effort. We used a pair of industrial-sleek wall sconces and twin planters with easy-care shrubs (evergreens work, too). These all-in-one planters have a reservoir irrigation system so they'll water themselves for a week or more!

2 Update trim and doors for a revamp without a full repaint. A standout hue, like golden yellow, sets your door apart, and a contrasting dark brown or gray makes trimwork pop.

3 Add small accents to polish the makeover. We chose aged-bronze hardware, a matching doormat and easy-to-apply number decals. The dark finish of the sconces matches the door hardware for a unified look.
