Improve your home with a few simple steps and a little bit of time. Tips to improving your curb appeal include adding color with flowers, painting the exterior, updating the gardens, and making sure all areas are well-maintained. Here are some ideas on how you can improve your home’s curb appeal today!
Make Sure Your Lawn Is Cut and Maintained
Having a mowed and well-kept lawn is one of the most important factors of having great curb appeal. Your grass should be no more than six inches tall for a lot of homeowners before cutting it. The perfect time to cut the grass is on a bright, sunny day as this will help dry out any dew that prevents a clean cut.
Double Check the Exterior of Your Home for Paint Chips and Cracks
When you peel back the paint on your home, make sure there are no cracks or chips in it. You would be surprised at how quickly these chips can accumulate over time with changing weather conditions. Be sure to check all corners of your home for peeling paint because this is a sure sign of water damage.
Repair Water Damage Immediately
As soon as you notice a leaky pipe or a problem with your gutter, take care of it immediately. You do not want water to be running down any walls in your home, so find what is causing the issue and resolve it right away.
Change Out Your Door Knob and Hardware
If you have been in your home for a long time, chances are that the door hardware is showing its age. With so much use over the years, these things tend to wear down and start looking a bit shabby. One of the best ways to quickly update your front door is by simply changing out the hardware. You can find hardware that fits your home’s style for a great curb appeal improvement.
Create A Planting Bed Along with Your House
Many homeowners will create a planting bed along their house to give it more color and interest. This is also an opportunity to plant trees or bushes that will later grow to provide shade for your home. Whether you choose to plant flowers or other plants, make sure to create a planting bed that complements your home’s color scheme.
Paint Your Home For A Great Curb Appeal Improvement
Painting the exterior of your home is another great way to improve its curb appeal. Consider painting it in one solid color for a clean look, or paint it in a color tone to give it a more cozy feel. Even painting the garage door can have a dramatic impact on the look of your home.
