Adding curb appeal to your home doesn’t have to break the bank, and there are several small things you can do to spruce up the look of your home. We want your property to look its best year-round. This is why we rounded up the most affordable ways you can achieve this.
1. Paint the Front Door
You can try to glam up your front door by painting it a pretty color that coordinates well with your home’s color scheme. You want to have some contrast between the door and your home to draw the eye to it. If your home is white or grey and you have black shutters, make the door pop with a bright splash of red. Whatever you do, just make sure you take your time to make it look fabulous.
2. Wash Your Home
Over the years, things like dust, cobwebs, and grime can accumulate on your home and cause it to look dingy, faded, and worn. You can turn your hose on the strongest setting it has and spray your home’s exterior, roof, porch, garage, and sidewalk. If it’s not strong enough, you can rent a power sprayer too. Just make sure that you keep the power sprayer away from your doorways and windows because it can damage it.
3. Update Your Exterior Lighting
Old lighting can age your entire home, especially in the harsh light of day. You could go with a classic and timeless design, so they don’t go in and out of style. If you don’t want to buy all new light fixtures for your exterior, you could add a coat of spray paint to your current ones. This can help refresh them, and you can even make them look like they’re new.
4. Manicure Your Lawn
No one likes a neglected or overgrown lawn. It can make your entire home look messy and unkempt. Get out your lawnmower and go over it every other week to keep it short and groomed. If you have weeks, tackle them and remove them. For patchy grass, you may have to fertilize and spread grass seed to get that green, lush, and full lawn that you see other people having. Also, pick up your grass clippings when you mow.
5. Refresh Your Driveway
If your garbage cans or recycling bins are out in your driveway in plain view, this can create an eyesore for anyone who sees it. You can store them in the garage or in specially made containers. Next, reseal any small cracks or holes in your driveway, or you can patch them. You can do this yourself or call a company to come in and do it for you.
