Whether you just bought your first home or are planning to sell your current home, boosting your curb appeal is an important part of homeownership. Improving your curb appeal can make your home a welcomed retreat from the outside world. From your front door to the numbers of your house and the landscaping in your garden, curb appeal can improve the outside of your home. Check out our tips for better curb appeal!
Adding Numbers and a New Door
Nothing says welcome home better than a new front door. If your current door is still in good shape, try updating it. Change out the hardware for something new and shiny. Switching the door knob, knockers, and even the color of your door can give your home an aesthetic appeal. Adding a new number to your home can not only let people find you more easily, it can also give your home personality. Choose block letter if you want your home to be bold or written out for a touch of elegance.
Sprucing Up the Porch
When updating your home’s curb appeal, a porch or entryway can’t be overlooked. Adding new lighting is the first step of adding to your porch. Replace the tiny sconces with a statement pendant light or recess light for a modern appeal. It is also important to define your outdoor space. Add flowers and a welcome mat if you have a small entryway or chairs and a side table if you’d like to show off space.
Hardscaping and Landscaping
Hardscaping is an excellent way of adding appeal to your home. Take a look around your yard. If you notice a broken or cracked sidewalk or steps, it is definitely time to do something about them now. Add landscaping by planting some bushes, trees, or flower beds to your home. If you don’t have a green thumb, don’t worry; call a landscaping company to plan out your home’s exterior and maintain it for you!
Custom Iron
The last piece of the puzzle is a beautifully crafted custom iron fence for your home. Iron will not only appeal to everyone who visits your home, it can also help to give your home a defined property line. This defined line will keep you and your family safe while boosting curb appeal.
