Ways to Improve the Curb Appeal of Your Home-
Looking to draw more attention to your home in a positive way? Here are some solutions to improve the curb appeal of your home.
1. Fresh paint can do wonders for the look of your home.
2. Create symmetry- add light fixtures or potted plants at the entryway and make sure you replace old, weathered house numbers, door knobs, and light fixtures
3. The front door is the focal point for people passing by. Paint your front door a complementing color to your house and add a wreath of your liking to create an inviting entryway.
4. Install outdoor lighting to create accent lighting in trees or along a path to your front door. Bonus- this also acts as a way to deter potential burglars.
5. Get your plants into shape by weeding and pruning; mulch to restore the color.
6. Install window boxes to your front windows to bring some charm back to the home. Chose copper or iron boxes to achieve a traditional feel or painted wood for a cottage feel.
7. Add shutters or an accent trim to your windows
8. Create a planting bed along driveways, walkways, corners of the front yard, etc. Choose features that will frame your home and go for stone or precast concrete blocks. Mix plant size, color, and texture.
9. Repair cracks and stains in the driveway, kill any weeds, and stain the concrete
10. Build a walkway to your front door. This gives your home an inviting feel. Create a path with stone or bricks
11. Paint any porch and stoop railings or replace all together
12. Replace your beat-up mailbox or give it some fresh paint if it is made of wood.
13. Trim branches that obstruct views of the house from the street
14. Buy colorful pots and plant complementing flowers in them. Place them by your front door.
Hope some of these tips help!
