10 Ways to Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal

 

You only have one chance to make a first impression, and the same goes for your home. When it comes to curb appeal, never underestimate what a fresh coat of paint or trimmed hedges can do.

 

Here are 10 ways to curb your home’s imperfections, and add more appeal.

 

A fresh coat of paint on the front door can give new life to your home’s exterior. If you’re feeling brave, try an attention-grabbing yellow or red.

 

If the season agrees with you, planting flowers and shrubs can make a huge impact on your home’s curb appeal.

 

New hardware on the door and even a sleek new mailbox can transform your entranceway into a more welcoming space.

 

Re-doing a driveway can be a costly and inconvenient task. But checking that off of a potential buyer’s to-do list before they even step in the door makes a great first impression.

 

An extremely simple way to improve your home’s facade is to simply give it a good scrub. Power washing or even a tough brush and some soapy water can do the trick.

 

Cut the grass, trim overgrown trees and shrubs, and fill in any bare spots on the lawn for a well-manicured look.

 

Although cleaning the windows is a great start, a hanging flower box and some new shutters can really take your home up a notch.

 

Bright and happy is the way to go, and it’s easy to do by adding a few fixtures to light the way.

 

Add depth to your front yard with an inviting fence or a charming gateway.

 

A contemporary bench or set of cozy matching chairs adds a homey feel, and can help the potential buyer imagine relaxing there themselves.
