See many of these entryway design ideas put into practice on a number of residential projects.

The entryway to your home should welcome people like open arms. There are many ways to create this warm embrace with concrete, both underfoot and as an architectural accent. Concrete is often maligned as being a cold, austere material. Yet it's anything but. Through the use of color, texture, shape and pattern, concrete can be made warm and inviting. Here are 10 ideas for using decorative concrete to create an attractive, beckoning front entry to your home. Be ready for lots of visitors!

All great entryways begin with a welcoming walkway that ushers visitors to your front door in grand fashion. With concrete, the decorative options for entrance walks are endless. Stamped or stenciled patterns, engraving, exposed-aggregate finishes, colored concrete, and concrete staining are just a few of the ways you can enhance your sidewalk design. To give your front entry even more allure, consider widening or flaring the concrete sidewalk or making it curvilinear rather than straight.
