How To Increase Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Did you know? You can increase your home's value exponentially by maintaining it's curb appeal. Check out our tips below for 5 ways to create a stellar first impression!

1. Clean Landscaping

Landscaping should enhance your home, not hide it! Make sure your driveway is clean and walkways are swept. Tackle those weeds and overgrown shrubs. Choose plants with different growing seasons so your garden looks great, no matter what the season!

2. Fresh Paint

An exterior update automatically transforms the look of a home. Maintaining the exterior is the surest way to keep your home's curb appeal looking great! Freshen up the front door with a bold statement colour, give your railing a fresh coat of paint, and don't forget about those trim details!

3. New Hardware

Replacing old hardware like the door handle, house number or mailbox can add an instant update to your entrance. If they’re out of date or in bad condition, they may take away from the aesthetic you want to create. Make sure the hardware forms a cohesive look and reflects the interior of your home.

4. Inviting Entrance

Nothing is more welcoming than fresh greenery! Place large pots filled with bright blooms or green shrubs at your front door. If you have extra space, add a chair and small table to the side of the door. A comfortable spot to take off your shoes or enjoy a warm summer day will appeal to buyers.

5. Exterior Lighting

Porch lights not only increase the security on your property but also heighten your home’s aesthetic appeal. Landscape lighting can also make a visual impact, by illuminating a walking path and adding accent lights to trees and shrubs. Try to incorporate a variety of light fixtures and lighting types!
