How to Boost your Curb Appeal this Summer
What is the first thing you notice about a house? Usually, you see its curb appeal, and it’s likely the home would not catch your eye without it. This can be beneficial if you sell, buy, or even just want your home to look nice. Make your home stand out on the street!
Cleaning
Having a clean exterior to your home is always a key part when adding to curb appeal. Everything from power washing your siding, driveway, walkways, etc., can create a fresh look. You can also replace any light fixtures, numbers, mailbox, and other miscellaneous things outside your home with new, fresh, and clean options.
Painting
Over time, paint fades. Whether it is on the shutters around your windows, frames, or even door, this is an easy fix. You can either paint on a fresh layer or spice up your previous color choices by incorporating a new one! You don’t need to completely change your siding to give your home a new look. The simple task of painting over these small outdoor pieces of your home can make a huge difference in your home's appearance.
Plants
Summer is known for the hot weather, bright plants, and beautiful outdoor spaces. Fix up your exterior to match up with these summer ideations! Create a nice area to plant a variety of flowers, bushes, etc. that bring a beautiful, bright, welcoming look and feel to your exterior. Surrounding these plants with fresh mulch or even rocks can also be a great addition to your curb appeal.
Lighting
Do you feel drawn or welcome to a home that is completely dark? Lighting can really make a difference. Adding small outdoor light pieces around your property can almost give your home a glow. It looks good from the street and welcoming to those that may not know you. Don’t leave your house looking dark and mysterious as if it has been abandoned.
Creating a home that looks fresh, clean, and welcoming is what adds appeal. Not only do you want others to think your home looks good, but also make it beautiful for yourself! It is always a good feeling when you are excited to go home or show your home off to a guest. Have a home that is the talk of the town this summer!
