Improving your home’s kerb appeal is actually much easier than you think it might be. Unlike your interior design, your home exterior often doesn’t need extensive changes to make noticeable improvements. However, for many people, they may have become blind to the issues on the outside of their home, mainly because they’re used to seeing things like this. You just don’t notice them anymore.

But if you’re willing to invest some time and effort into enhancing your home’s kerb appeal, these straightforward tips can guide you in the right direction. They’re designed to be simple and achievable, so you can feel reassured that you’re making the right changes to boost your home’s exterior.

Clean It Up

The exterior walls of your home, the windows and doors, the garage if you have one, the pathways, and the lawn. Clean them all up and remove any layers of dirt and debris that might have accumulated over the years. You can use a power or jet wash to help you clean your home or hire a company to do this for you and revive your home to its former glory.

Dress Up Windows

Intentional window dressings can help your home stand out. Step outside and look at what people see through your windows when passing your home. You might need to rearrange your room to remove any distractions that can impact first impressions and kerb appeal. Or you might need to invest in new window dressings, like Roman Blinds, to help create a focal point for your windows and a uniform look.

In addition, you might need to pay attention to the condition of the windows and frames, especially older-style windows, to see if they need repairs or TLC.

Front Door Updates

Updating your front door can make a significant impact on your home’s curb appeal. Whether you choose to replace the entire door or simply give it a fresh coat of paint, these updates can inspire a whole new look for your home’s exterior.

Alternatively, you can repaint the door or update the hardware, which can help create a feature for your front door. Ensure you use the correct paint, tools, and fittings for external use to ensure that you don’t end up with a paint job that lasts a few weeks and then looks worse than before you started or fittings that can’t cope with external elements and become worn quickly. But updating your front door can be an excellent way to boost your home’s appearance from the outside.

Add Plants and Lighting

Plants will automatically add an extra element to any space; your home’s exterior is no different. You can add hanging baskets at your front door and bedding plants in the front garden if you have one or pots alongside your pathway. There is no right or wrong way to add plants to the front of your home; they don’t need to be real; you can use artificial ones if you prefer. On top of this, adding lighting can help you to illuminate the space and use your fighting to add extra features that make your home look more appealing. From ground lights to spotlights at the front door, light-up ornaments, free-standing lamp posts, and more, you have a range of lighting options to boost kerb appeal.

There are multiple small ways to boost your home’s curb appeal and ensure that your home looks good inside and out.
