Curb Appeal: The 3 Easiest Boosts

curb appealWhen you look at your home, could your home do with a bit of extra curb appeal? Whether you are planning to sell your home or not, the exterior of your home is something like the cover of a book. It gives the first impression to people looking at your home and helps them to imagine what is inside. If the outside of the home isn’t cared for, then it can give the impression that the inside is neglected, also.

So whether you are interested in selling your home soon, or you just want to make some changes to make where you live look better for your own enjoyment. Adding some curb appeal can often be easy and inexpensive to change how the home looks, and can help to add value to your home.

So here are some of the projects that you can do to make your home give off a better first impression.

3 Easiest Ways to Boost Curb Appeal

Urban home? Add some pizzazz to your entryway.

Go green

Any realtor out there will tell you. You must make the home to stand out and make the most impactful impression on any potential buyer. So one thing that they would advise is to go green with greenery and flowers. This doesn’t have to be grand and hard work. In fact, simple additions like window boxes and planters can work. That’s especially true if you don’t have a large yard or driveway. It is a good idea to use things like plants to help to emphasize focal points or to accentuate certain features. Things like hanging baskets can look great too. Even just having one pretty plant arrangement is something that can go a long way to improve your home’s appearance. 

 

Let there be light

 

There are plenty of different things that can look really unappealing for the home, and one of those things can be a dark entryway. Are you are lacking a lot of light or have something like a single pendant light by the front door? Then it is time to replace it with something more fun, enjoyable, and most of all, will give off more light.

This addition can all serve a practical purpose too, as more light can be more security. Clean the lighting up that you have will help the light shine through, and will make them look much brighter and much cleaner. You could even think about solar lighting to line a driveway, as well as to dot around the yard.

Embrace symmetry

 

When there is some symmetry with the front of the home, it can create focal points that are really pleasing to look at and can bring the home together in a much more cohesive way. You can make symmetry work for you by doing things like putting lantern lights hanging on either side of the door, or by having planters on either side of your front door or perhaps your garage too.

The bottom line on boosting curb appeal

If you can take some time to give your home a boost with its curb appeal, then it can be done in a short amount of time if needed. The chances are that there are plenty of things that are already looking good; they just need to be brought together.
