Kerb Appeal | Entrance Inspiration

Kerb Appeal Entrance Inspirations

One of my favourite Pinterest boards that I regularly pin to is my Dream Home board. Some people have travel aspirations, some people go nuts for ice cream recipes (ok, I do these things too) but for me my biggest weakness is imagining my future Grand Designs episode. The one in which we turn a modest semi detached into a modern masterpiece… or something along those lines.

Back to reality. It doesn’t take building a whole new home to create your dream home. You can make a big impact with a few easy to implement changes. My sister has just bought her first home and with help from B&Q we’ve been researching ideas to make the front of her fixer upper look more up to date. It’s a terraced home which was in desperate need of some attention. After gutting the interior, adding a new kitchen and bathroom, new floors, painting walls and putting a much needed door on the downstairs bathroom (yep, no door there previously) they are starting to focus on the front of the house.

As I am not (yet) a homeowner and live in a flat I have not had the chance to work on this kind of project before. You can imagine how excited I am about it. But I have to reign myself in quite a bit. After months of securing their new home, going through the buying process, getting all the necessary work done and moving a toddler and a teenager in, we need something quick, easy and cost effective. Following these fantastic tips from B&Q we can take some of the design elements from the buildings on my Dream Home board and use them to create an entrance that’s welcoming and beautiful.

Back to black

A little black masonry paint can go a long way! We’ve been looking at how creating a monotone facade to create a blank canvas to work with that looks chic and effortless.

You can never have too many… Plants!

I know you all get this one… But for easy upkeep we’re thinking pots and succulents with fresh slate to fill in the space between them.

    Massage can bring you a sense of calm and deep relaxation. Massage stimulates endorphins, which are brain chemicals (neurotransmitters), that cause feelings of well-being.Visit full body massage near me
