Texture and Artistic Elements

Go for texture. Pair a stained wooden front door against white trim with vinyl siding for an on-trend, modern front door look. Artistic design elements on the front door can also make your home stand out. “A few ways to do this is the use of sidelights, curved windows above the door, glass inserts with the look of stained glass or round top entry doors,” according to AHT Wisconsin Windows.

These house painting ideas will improve curb appeal.
