Looking to give your home a charming exterior makeover? Adding curb appeal to your home doesn’t have to be difficult. Here are three effective curb-appeal boosting techniques that will complement any home.
- Improve the Landscaping
No matter the size of your yard, improving your landscaping is one of the single best things you can do to enhance the curb appeal of your home. A unique way to do this, and to add some year-round color no matter the climate, is to plant a combination of blooming bulbs, tall grasses and some berry bushes like winterberry holly or beautyberry. Check your local nursery and provider of mulch Alpharetta to surround these areas with attractive fill to give your planted areas a finished look.
- Enhance the Front Porch
An important part of any curb appeal makeover is creating an attractive focal point. Consider giving your front porch area a simple update to make a winning first impression on all who visit your home. Give your front door a fresh coat of paint or stain or replace it with a modern option – this is a great fix in terms of return on investment, as well.
- Add Outdoor Lighting
Give your home some nighttime curb appeal by developing a landscape lighting strategy. Exterior lighting, when done the right way, is great for highlighting the unique architectural features of your home, as well as the hard work you’ve put into your landscaping. Use spotlights fitted with 2700K warm white LED bulbs to bathe exterior walls in warm light. In addition, use solar-powered lanterns to light the way along paths and walkways, providing safety for you and your guests as you navigate your property after dark.
Creating lasting curb appeal doesn’t have to be hard. Follow these tips and you’ll make smart renovations during your exterior makeover.
