5 Ways To Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Home Decor

26 Apr

How is your home’s curb appeal looking? The exterior of your home is like the cover of a book, offering people walking past a glimpse of what is inside. Good curb appeal can create the impression of a loving, well cared for home that is as glamorous on the inside as it is neat on the outside.

Bad curb appeal meanwhile can lead to impressions of neglect and owners who simply don’t care about the look and feel of their home. It’s unwelcoming and most damaging of all, off-putting.

If you are looking to boost your home’s curb appeal to either impress guests or to boost its value, then read on.

Make it green

A green garden is the sign of a home that is looked after. Make sure your lawn is well maintained by cutting the grass regularly, digging up weeds and sweeping off leaves. Keep it as well watered as any local hosepipe bans allow and try and fix brown spots as soon as they appear. Away from the lawn, planting can help to brighten up your exterior and improve curb appeal, so consider adding some plants or flowers.

Paint your front door

The color of your front door can say a lot about what lies behind it. Giving your door a lick of paint can have a transforming effect on your property’s curb appeal and it can be done relatively cheaply too. As a general rule, you want a color that will accentuate the rest of the home rather than clash with it. From cheery yellow to demure dove gray, here are some of the best front door colors for you to consider.

Improve your borders

How are your borders looking? An overgrown hedge or a broken fence that separates your property from a neighbors isn’t exactly a sign of a home that is cared for or well maintained. Make sure that your borders reflect the love you have for your home, either through clever and looked after planting or by using some neat wood fencing White Plains, ny which adds a touch of style to your yard.

Light up your home

There is nothing more uninviting than a home shrouded in darkness. If your property looks like something out of a horror movie, you stand little chance of making a good impression on visitors or passersby. Outdoor lighting such as a string of lights across a porch or LED’s on the pathway that leads to your front door will help guide people in, while at the same time showing that this is a home that is welcoming.

Power wash your exterior down

A grubby exterior covered with years of dirt or grime does significant damage to your curb appeal. It says here is a home that isn’t cared for as it is allowed to end up looking dirty and haggard. Taking a power washer to the outside and washing away all that muck will have the building, porch, walkway, and driveway gleaming again. If you don’t own a power washer, then they can be hired for a relatively modest sum. Given how much better your home will look after it’s been hosed down, that will be money well spent.
