If you are looking for an eye-catching way to enhance your curb appeal, take a few pointers from this colorful craftsman! We love seeing a bold risk pay off beautifully, especially when it comes to color. While these pieces are striking on their own accord, pure magic happens when they come together.
COLOR PALETTE
The deep saturated eggplant used on the house is tempered by the bright white trim and picket fence. The lively green front door adds the perfect modern punch.

FRONT DOOR
We love a bright front door! This classic craftsman door feels fresh and modern when painted a vibrant chartreuse hue. The 6-lite window allows for natural light while still providing some privacy. Jeld-Wen 6-Lite Craftsman Steel Door, $504, homedepot.com
HOUSE NUMBERS
These polished brass house numbers rest perfectly below the windows on the front door. Baldwin 90679 House Numbers in Polished Brass, $11/number, baldwinbrasshardware.com
PATIO FURNITURE
A porch this cute must be enjoyed! Comfortable and streamlined, this smaller scale couch with matching chairs and table are ideal for a small space like this. If you don’t have room for the full set on your front porch, place the matching chairs on your back patio for some whole-house cohesion.

WHITE PICKET FENCE
Nothing says “charm” like a white picket fence. Painted bright white, this wood picket fence with Gothic detailing at the top of the pickets adds character and a bit of visual separation from neighboring houses.3 ½’ x 6’ Western Red Cedar French Gothic Fence Panel Kit, $67/section, homedepot.com
FLOWER POTS
This round cutie sits perfectly atop the brick column, and ties in the orange color from the couch. Fegley Retro Chic Concrete 2-Piece Pot Planter Set in Coral, $28, wayfair.com
We love the thatched texture on these bright green flower pots, set as a pair flanking the front door. Vondom Vases, Planter in Pistachio, $196, yliving.com
