1. Color jolt. Brighten your entry with a mailbox in a vivid hue that complements your home’s exterior colors. This electric red mailbox brings the same bright color of the front door (which looks darker here under the shadow of the covered walkway) forward to the street, visually tying together both areas. The eye-catching color stands out against the dark exterior of the building and the all-green planting, adding energy and interest to the overall front yard design.
