10 Easy Ways to Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal
Do you want some easy projects to freshen up your curb appeal?
Let me guess, you think it’s going to be time consuming or expensive.
Good news: Adding curb appeal is a fast and inexpensive way to make your home look more attractive.
Let’s get started!
Update Your House Numbers
In less than 30 minutes you can add style by replacing your old house numbers with something modern. Bonus Points for safety: you want something large enough emergency workers can easily read from the street. In some places, it’s the law.
Make Your Front Door Pop
Add a splash of color for a quick and noticeable upgrade. Bold colors accentuate your home’s exterior. Use your front door to show your personality.
Front Door Decor
Not just for the winter holidays, a new wreath can be inexpensively changed from season to season while adding immense charm.
New Door Hardware
Add new hardware for a quick and eye-catching upgrade.
Maybe now is the time to install that smart lock you’ve been eyeing. With voice commands, auto-locking, and an app to control it all from your phone, it doesn’t get much easier. “Open Sesame!”
Window Boxes
Buying (or making) some window boxes is a weekend project that will dress up the front of your home. Plant colorful flowers and other plants to boost your appeal.
New Mulch
It gives the front yard a finished feel while promoting healthier soil and covering up and killing weeds. I love that new mulch smell.
Power Washing
Few things feel more satisfying than wielding the power washing wand and blasting away stains and grime. The fun doesn’t stop with your driveway and footpaths.
Remove dirt and mold from siding, decks, and patios. Isn’t it amazing how new everything looks when it’s sparkling clean?
Trim Your Bushes
A flat-top ain’t just for 90s rappers. (Looking at you Vanilla Ice.) Trimmed up sides and a nice even top is an easy fix to bushes gone wild.
Garage Door Makeover
Spruce up your garage door with faux hinges and handles. Stain if wood. Don’t forget to hit it with that powerwasher first!
Clean Your Gutters
Worn and dirty gutters impress no one. Give them a thorough cleaning and hit them with the power washer while you’re at it. (What a handy tool, eh?)
Replace sagging gutters to not only serve their purpose but sharpen up the lines of the home.
Wrapping Up
You may have noticed there’s a theme by now. No? Ok, well here it is:
If it’s dirty, messy, or worn make it look clean, tidy, or new.
You can tackle some of these projects in under an hour. Or spend a Sunday embracing your powerwasher blasting months (or years) of dirt away.
