Your front door is the first thing guests see, even if the porch is only a step wide. A good mat and a little light at night already make a big difference, and both take minutes to set up.
Start with the mat
A doormat does real work, so choose one that scrapes shoes well. The heavy-duty coir doormat is thick, has a non-slip backing and copes with rain. If you'd like something with more character, the black cat welcome mat makes visitors smile before they've even knocked.
Add some light
A porch light you have to remember to switch on often stays off. The rechargeable solar lantern charges in the sun during the day, so it needs no outlet and no wiring. Hang it by the door or set it on a step.
Keep it simple
Keep the area around the door clear, sweep it often and change one small thing each season, like the mat. A tidy, well-lit entrance looks welcoming all year.
