The exterior of your home is equally important as the exterior. Your curb appeal is the first impression of your home.
One way to increase your curb appeal is to maintaining your exterior surface. You should fix all of the cracks and rotting materials of your home, as well as add a new gutter system to avoid rust and paint from peeling.
Having a great looking curb appeal will make your home a stunning view for everyone including potential homebuyers. In addition, your curb appeal will increase the price of your home, so it’s a good investment to make.
Here are 6 ways to increase your curb appeal:
1. Oh Green World
A beautiful way to increase your curb appeal is giving your garden some attention. If you do not have the time or finances to plant and make a garden from scratch, you can always buy already made containers from garden centers and put planters and window boxes. You can make your planters hanging too.
2. Door Make Over
The most important part of your house is the front door. Paint it with striking, bold colours or consider door replacement to completely change the look of your entryway. It will add a unique touch to your curb appeal.
You can put chairs or tables next to the porch or matching lanterns and plants. Use these elements to create symmetry in your doorway as this too will boost your curb appeal.
3. Safety First
Install a fence, gateway, and arbour. But choose an amazing theme or style and use them as decoration. Incorporate oval shapes in your fencing if you want that unique look. Not only is this good for safety, but it gives your home more elegance and historical background.
4. Art Power
Insert outdoor art in your garden. If you have a backyard why not make it interesting and more appealing to your style. You can create the art, even if you are not a skilled craftsman. Paint some old vases and sculptors or simply make them from clay. Put a garden fountain or hand coloured rocks. Incorporate flowers or a bench around the art pieces.
5. Change Windows
Make your windows more appealing. Make a whole wall made of windows because they are the number one curb appeal booster. Or instead of buying new ones you can simply paint their frames over or put some cool shutters. Shutters come in various shapes, colors and sizes. They are also good for additional security and control of light and ventilation.
6. Walk This Way
Make a path to your entry. It can be made out of rock, cement, tiles, wood. Then accessorize it. Install lighting around (it is a great safety measure) or arrange some flowers according to the path. Maybe put some of those art pieces we were talking about too.
