10 Fabulous Front Door Ideas for Your Home

What makes one of the first impressions on your home? You know,before people even go inside. You guessed it: the front door. A front door is the gateway to your world – behind that door is a space filled with your wants,needs, personal tastes, and loved ones.

If you like making a statement in your home design, you should go big with your front door, as well. Of course, a front door should be sturdy and isolated properly to keep out unwanted guests and weather, but it should also be aesthetically pleasing.

Your front door can give guests a taste of what’s behind it. What story do you want your front door to tell? Do you want it to be subtle and neutral? Or extravagant and loud? When designing or remodeling your home, don’t forget about the front door!

Our team at Sunset Builders & Maintenance are professionals at installing doors for customers in Sanibel Island and Southwest Florida. A new door can boost your home’s beauty, lower your electric costs, prevent hurricane damage, and burglary loses.

We wanted to share some front door ideas with you if you are
looking to replace or upgrade your current front door.

  • Opt for textured glass on the front door for an artsy look and feel.
  • Order an extra-wide front door to make your entrance grander.
  • Install a pivoting front door – this will help you save space inside the house.
  • Install a handle with a handle guard across the entire width of the door for a unique look.
  • Choose an all-glass front door for a modern look. Glass doors let a lot of light into the home.
  • Design a door with custom carvings that are meaningful to you.
  • Pick a door with different patterns either in the material or design for a beautiful look.
  • Choose a bright, bold color that will contrast the color of your home.
  • Install a door with a rounded/arched top for a unique and Gothic look.
  • Choose a wood (or painted) front door for a classic, rustic look.  

These are just a few door ideas, but we know you can come up with more. We’d love to see what kind of door you’d like to install in your home. We will work with you to find a door that makes sense for your home. Our doors have a one-year installation warranty.

A bathroom has so many purposes – it’s a place to freshen up, get
clean, relax, and have some alone time. People love spending time in their
bathrooms. In fact, people spend about two years of their life in a bathroom!
Since we spend so much time in this room, we should give this special place a
little TLC.

way that makes you, loved ones, or visitors enjoy their time in this
space.  Does a bathroom in your home need

remodel, there are so many ideas!

Here
are just 9 ideas that you may want to use in your bathroom remodeling project!

  1. Make your bathroom cozy by adding a sitting area with chairs,couches, lamps, and a rug. It offers you a place to relax when you’re not in the tub or shower. Take it one step further and add artwork, chandeliers, and trinkets all around the room to make the bathroom feel fun and luxurious.
  2. Choose colors that reflect the feeling you want to have when in the room. Blues and yellows can make the room calming. Bright colors can give the room energy. Gold, silver, reds, and purples can make the room feel high-end – like you’re stepping foot into a royal or celebrity bathroom.
  3. For a fancier look, line the floor, walls, and showers with marble.
  4. Add a fireplace in the bathroom for the ultimate cozy factor.
  5. Install closets, walk-in closets, shelving, and a fitting/dressing area with body-length mirrors into your bathroom space – this way you don’t have to exit to another room to try on an outfit.
  6. Make your bathroom tech-savvy. Install a sound system in the bathroom, so you can listen to your favorite music or podcast while your shower or get ready. You can also install a TV on the wall to watch during a bath or while you’re applying makeup.
  7. Design an open-concept shower where there are no doors, only stone or glass walls.
  8. Hate rushing in the morning? Kill two birds with one stone by having a mini-fridge and a chilling drawer in the bathroom. You can easily snack and drink while getting ready without having to go to the kitchen and bother anyone.
  9. Upgrade your bathroom necessities. Purchase a remote-controlled toilet, a bidet, a steam shower, automatic sinks, waterfall shower heads. These gadgets make going to the bathroom easier and more fun.

Fertilizing Palm Trees

You’ve probably heard of people fertilizing their lawns and flowers, but what about fertilizing palm trees? Yes, palm trees need fertilizing too! By fertilizing a palm tree, you can help keep its fronds green and strong.

A palm tree needs a fertilizer that is slow-release specifically made for palm trees or tropical trees. With a slow-release fertilizer, the tree will gradually and slowly receive nutrients throughout the months. The fertilizer will give your palm tree nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, iron, and manganese.

It’s best to go out and by a pre-made fertilizer and not make one at home. Many at-home fertilizers do not contain all the proper nutrients that palm trees need.

Need help fertilizing your palm trees? Don’t know how to care for your palms? Palm trees need special care that many other trees don’t need. They are a tropical plant that requires different care.
