There is no easier way to step your front door up a notch than with the addition of a couple of potted plants. Bringing a welcoming verdant touch to your front porch, adding a symmetrical look, an arrangement of plants around the front door are also a great idea for smaller spaces and apartments where you might be lacking in space but looking to create that front garden feel.
'Well chosen plants at the front door can set the scene for the rest of the home,' says Lee Turner, director at Turner Road Architects. 'It’s important to keep in mind the light, temperature and space available but also considering things like whether you want soft or sharp leaves, vibrant or subtle color, can really help establish the mood and bring a sense of cohesion and continuity.'
