5 Front Stoop Designs With Serious Curb Appeal
Entryway staples sure to elicit neighbour envy
Elevate your home’s exterior with thoughtful design choices that create an inviting entryway. From iconic lighting to unique accents, discover a collection of essentials that not only enhance doorstep curb appeal but also reflect your personal style. Whether you’re drawn to modern aesthetics or industrial charm, these curated pieces will make your doorstep the envy of the neighborhood.
Nordic Illumination
Great lighting is key to an inviting entry or doorstep. This die-cast aluminum Louis Poulsen LED sconce was originally designed by Arne Jacobsen for the SAS Royal Hotel, in Copenhagen. Available in grey, black or white. $1790, at Design Within Reach.
Postal Service
As a rule, metal accents weather well and give a home industrial character, enhancing its doorstep curb appeal. CB2’s iron mailbox brings that character in spades, while exposed welding seams announce its hand-craftedness. Plus, it’s big enough for magazines, which, as you may expect, is important to us. $120, at CB2.
Orange Crush
Find that an orange door is too bold? Opt for a brightly coloured welcome mat instead. This durable spun-vinyl Chilewich shag rug is quick drying and mould resistant. Pick from three sizes. From $62, at Ziggy’s at Home.
Pleats to Meet You
Set MSDS Studio’s understated Pleated earthenware vase on your front step and bring some plant life to the yard – even if you lack the space or time for landscaping. Dish and planter sizes are also available, all with self-watering wicks. $50, at Umbra.
For Hire
Facades by architect Reza Aliabadi always excite, especially when it comes to creating great curb appeal. Case in point: Shaft House, done as a joint venture with Ali Malek-Zadeh. We love the project’s carport, plus the pairing of timber and Corten. Oversized house numbers and an orange door are definite eye catchers. Atelier RZLBD and Urbanscape Group.
