13 May Five Ideas for Beautiful Curb Appeal
Warmer weather is an ideal time – before it gets too hot – to spruce up your home’s curb appeal. Not only will you make your neighbors happy, but if you plan to list your home, great curb appeal can help sell your home. Here are five ideas for adding beautiful curb appeal.
1) Repaint Front Door
Repainting your front door can be a relatively inexpensive way to enhance the look of your home’s facade. If you want to create a focal point that draws the eye, consider painting your front door in a bold color. However, even a more conservative color can give your house a fresh and updated appearance with a simple paint refresh. Here are five attractive colors ideal for a front door:
- Farrow & Ball Cinder Rose
- Clare Paint Coffee Date
- Onyx 2133-10
- Cactus Green 2035-20
- Simply White OC-117
2) Add Flower Pots
To enhance the overall appearance of your home, add attractive flower pots that can be replanted according to the changing seasons. For a subtle look, you can plant masses of the same type of flower. Choose lots of colorful plants in your pots to make a bold statement. Check how much sunlight your front porch receives and select plants that can thrive in that environment.
3) Pristine Landscape
Keep your landscape healthy and trim. A poorly maintained landscape influences the look of your home. Replace unhealthy plants regularly, keep weeds at bay, trim greenery as necessary, and mulch regularly.
4) Power Wash
Dirt, grime, mold, and spider webs can build up on your home’s exterior and pathways, making it look unkempt. A yearly power wash can restore your home’s appearance and look fresh and clean.
5) Accessorize Your Porch
Maintain a pretty porch to make your home look beautiful. You can achieve this by adding outdoor accessories such as colorful throw pillows and cushions, rugs, furniture, and a few decorative items. If you have a deep front porch, consider adding an outdoor table lamp to enhance its charm.
