Refresh Lawn
Cleaning up your lawn is a great and easy way to increase your curb appeal. Spend a little extra time with the whipper-snipper perfecting the edges of your lawn. Invest in a hedge trimmer and fine back those hedges so they don’t look over grown. Pull out any weeds that have sprouted and do a clean-cut mow. Having a neat and tidy lawn is the foundation of increasing the overall look of your property.
Revamp Letter Box
Mailboxes should complement the home and express the homeowner's personality. When choosing a mailbox or the mailbox paint ensure to match the colour with your house’s exterior. For something extra, you could surround your mailbox with a beautiful flowering garden to instantly make your front yard more welcoming and approachable.
Add Flower Beds
Add contrast and colour to your home exterior with a new flower bed. Prime spots for curb appeal are at the front corners of the yard, along driveways or walkways, and immediately in front of the house. When creating a new garden, choose features that will frame your home rather than obscure it. Include a mix of plant size, colour, and texture for optimal results.
Give Front Door a Fresh Paint
Transform your front door into a focal point by applying a fresh coat of paint or colour stain. Get started by removing the door and its hardware. Clean the door, then apply a primer. Paint any raised or depressed panels with a foam brush, then apply paint to the rest of the door with a roller. Let dry, apply a second coat, then let dry completely before reattaching hardware and hanging.
Add Lights
Exterior lighting is warm and welcomes guests before they step inside the home. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, it is a great safety feature. You could put solar lights along the pathway lighting the way to your front door. Or a simple porch light is charming giving your houses exterior some character.
