Instead of a basic contractor grade door, this architecturally interesting door has glass panes above and beautiful detail along the front, and it is painted the same shade of hunter green as the window boxes.

Window boxes are the perfect alternative to a garden for urban homes which lack the space for gardens. To use them correctly, it’s all about the proper mix of plants you put in them. You want color, texture and shape. Here, the color scheme is purple, green and white, and starting from the left to the right, there is a mix of low plants, plants that will sprout up and plants that will grow over the side and downward. This is important because if any plants grow too high, they will obstruct the view when you’re inside the house looking out.

An attractive exterior sconce adds both beauty and purpose. It looks like beautiful jewelry outside the house during the daytime; at night, it lights everything up.

If you have a space that you go in and out of all day long and you haven’t really thought about dressing it up, why not give it as much detail as any other space in the house so you’ll enjoy looking at it?
