Transforming your front door not only refreshes the look of your space — it also increases its value, which is helpful if you plan on selling down the road. Or, if you host an Airbnb, a refreshed doorway can also up the ante, allowing your space stand out to prospective renters. But even if you don’t plan on putting your home on the market, your new doorway will renew your home’s energy, making you feel like you’re living in a space you truly love.

Here are some expert-approved ideas for an updated front door:

1. Let the light in.

Some front door upgrades are going to require swapping out your entire front door. Jamie King of JLK Interiors says it’s worth it, though, if you have the means. “While it requires a bit more work, I do like to explore the idea of replacing an old door entirely — if it will change the design of the home dramatically enough,” King tells Hunker. With a brand new front door, you have an opportunity to let lots of light into the home, which can make your space feel instantly more modern.
