The red pots work, no need to paint them but yes, fill them with lush greenery. Put a tall Kentia Palm or something similar with some height in the largest of the pots to fill the space without crowding it. As Gallifrey mentions a new oversized doormat would make a big difference and if you want to spend a bit more time and/or money a low profile light fitting and freshening up the pavers would both improve that all important first impression.

I'd keep it simple and go with a natural mat, focusing on making sure it is a good size and looks clean and neat.

Don't over do the pots. Your garden at the front is beautiful, so don't compete with it.

agree with cleaning pavers and adding a large plain natural coir mat (Bunnings $30), your garden is already full of beautiful plants, remove the pots anything tall will block any light going inside, perhaps a low large pot with succulents . A new square black metal and glass light, bit like a lamp would look lovely

Do not hard water blast your pavers. Any concrete or concrete product should not be water blasted. All that you are doing is pitting the surface which in turn creates more surface and the pavers will get dirtier quicker. I would suggest that you use one of the chemical (some are eco friendly) and then soft wash it off or as per instructions. You may need to give it a good scrub with a yard broom or similar, but no high pressure water blasting.

Agree with comments above about keeping the planting simple. It looks like you do not have enough light for succulents. I suggest something tropical looking with white flowers to brighten up the space. e.g new guinea balsam, gardenia, spider plants.

Nothing wrong with fake plants from Ikea. I use them and no one can tell.Hate the wire door...cheap and nasty. Either get a new good quality white one or have none for the sale. My first response was to paint the whole entrance white with an olive green or burnt red door.

All other comments above I agree with but my suggestion would be to break up the brick... Maybe put artwork up on the brick wall to right - even if just for the open house and photos. 3-piece would look great with colour - green, blue or red to make it pop. It will draw the eye up to the level of greeting someone at the door. Don't overdo with too many plants in pots as you have a lot of greenery there in the side gardens - maybe more a small tiered cluster to break up the large slumped glass side light.

the white front door is too harsh. Perhaps soften it with a light bluey grey paint to pick up a colour in the brick work. I agree take off the screen door for resale. A largish natural mat to cover pavers entirely. One feature urn pot in a light colour with a bright green fern to compliment the brick work.

I agree the right hand side could use a welcome sign......seek a frame from a charity shop, paint it same colour as door and put a welcome print inside (print one off from the Internet) good luck

The area could look too narrow if you fill it with items so maybe one plant, rather than a few. I would take the colour or even the same plant that you have in the garden by the door the bright coloured plant. I agree about the fly screen remove it but say it is available to the new owner e.g. it is in the garage. I would freshen up the white paint and I would also follow the advice above about water blasting the cobble stones prior to the porch. Get rid of or update the door mat. I am thinking a mirror would bounce light around the space. You can always take it with you. I am thinking of something I have seen a few times in New Zealand. A rustic timber, or an old window frame with a small planter box attached to the front, filled with fresh potted colour and the mirror at the back - to give it the wow factor and the illusion of space. I would hang it on the right side wall as you walk up to the door.

Remove the screen door for sure. I'd paint the white door and surround a bright welcoming colour. I'd add a lush tallish plant in a charcoal or black planter and buy a large mat, it will make a big difference and add appeal.

I think the white door is fine but I would get a nice wide low black or white pot and plant it with a gardenia and surround it with some annuals that have white flowers such as impatiens. This will help link the white of the door to your plantings.

Scrub the whole area spotlessly clean, put down a fresh new door mat and place a nice piece of outdoor art work on one of those walls. There are some lovely laser cut metal panels available, or some bas relief stone carvings. The idea of a mirror is a good one too. The plants out the front have a sort of tropical feel so the artwork could be Balinese style.

Yes, soft wash the tiles at the entrance and put a sealer on them for easy cleaning and appearance, pots look good, get a nice coir mat (one that doesn't shed hairs everywhere. Get rid of the old fashioned ceiling light and replace it with 2 flush modern down lights to light the door side and light up your nice plants. Love your planting out front.

leave block work natural concrete and paint fence Jap Black stain, should match Ok with your house going by what can be seen in the photos
