20 Ways to Enhance Your Home's Curb Appeal
First impressions are crucial, and that counts for your home, too. That's why we've come up with a few simple ideas for adding style and upping your house's curb appeal.
A Warm Welcome
Have your neighbors swooning over your curb appeal with an inviting front porch featuring a cozy wood swing and a mix of patterned blue throw pillows beckoning visitors to this sunny front porch.
Go Bold
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a home’s curb appeal. A bold color pairing, like navy blue and bubblegum pink, will ensure your home isn’t lost in a sea of cookie-cutter houses.
Wood Accents
If color isn’t your thing, touches of wood accents will do just the trick when boosting your home’s appearance. This home seen on HGTV's Fixer Upper, features cedar details add a natural alternative when it comes to exterior accents.
Modern House Numbers
Say goodbye to ordinary house numbers. Add a modern, chic vibe to your home’s exterior by upgrading to a laser-cut wooden plaque.
Well-Manicured Lawn
No matter how beautiful a new plant or house feature may be, it will never get a chance to shine if neighbors can't see past a wild, unkempt yard. By maintaining a nice, healthy lawn height, you can ensure your home will be noticed for all the right reasons.
Walk This Way
Choosing the right hardscape can be a challenge, but a simple stone or brick path is a great way to add charm to your entryway. If the inviting look isn't enough to convince you, just imagine life with no more muddy footprints or sunken heels!
