Fall and winter mean more indoor activities – game nights, movie nights, and dinners with friends and family. With the additional foot traffic through your home, muddy shoes, and warm-weather gear, you may want to consider improving your home’s entryway.
While the potential upgrades and improvements are endless, a few savvy changes can save you money and beautify your home in no time. Here are a few ways to improve your home’s entryway before winter weather arrives:
1. Replace Your Front Step for Safety and Style
Nothing demonstrates a warm welcome like a solid front step!
Why Upgrade?
- Brick or stone masonry makes a massive difference in the resale value of your home
- It’s a more durable option, rather than wood or vinyl steps and decks
- Enhances the feeling of security as you walk up the steps to your home will never go away

2. Upgrade to a New Front Door
A new door isn’t just a good idea for improving your home’s energy efficiency, but it’s among the first things guests (and potential homeowners) will notice when pulling up to your lot.
After all, it’s the first interaction they’ll have with your home, so why not make it as impactful and impressive as it can be.
3. Expand Your Storage Capabilities
Even if you have a coat closet near your front door, there’s a good chance it’ll get invaded by snow boots, kids’ coats, and all sorts of outdoor toys and gear.
You Could Consider:
- Include a storage closet or nook
- Extending the entryway slightly to create usable space
- Customizing shelves, hooks, or benches
Adding a square footage to your entryway may require a minor home addition service, but the payoff in daily conveniences is worth it!
