Easy Ways to Create Great Curb Appeal

•         Coordination of colors.

A few gallons of paint can do wonders for curb appeal, and a unified color scheme can give your house a more elegant, well-kept appearance. Try to match the architectural elements of your home, such as the front door, shutters, trim, railing, posts, and garage door, whether you’re painting or staining them.

•         Modernize the lighting.

Take into account both the design of your home and the purpose of the lights when purchasing new outside lighting fixtures. You want them to be able to safely and effectively illuminate your entrance. To save time and money, look for fixtures that have the same mounting mechanism as the ones you currently have. Fixtures for exterior lighting start at $25 and go up from there. If you want to try to find vintage lighting to complement the age and appearance of your home, check salvage stores.

•         Build an Instant Garden.

Container gardens quickly and cheaply give any home’s exterior a cozy atmosphere and vibrant curb appeal. Garden supply stores have pre-made containers, or you can make your own using your favorite plants. For the majority of landscapes, an asymmetrical, staggered layout produces the most dynamic results.

•         Make a Grand Entry.

There are ways to draw attention to your front entrance and enhance curb appeal even on a tight budget. By adding a few well-chosen and artfully arranged plants to the front porch, you may transform the entrance to your home into an attractive focal point. When placed on the top and sides of the doorway, molding also serves as an architectural eyeliner.

•         Embrace symmetry.

Symmetrical designs produce eye-pleasing focus points that instantly give your property a more polished appearance. Put matching wall lanterns or plants on either side of your entrance door to achieve the desired effect. The same thing can be done around your garage door if there isn’t enough space at your entrance.
