5 No-Fail Ways To Improve Your Home's Curb Appeal

Aug 12

Have you taken a look at your home lately? Not while you’re right there, but from the road. How does your home compare to your neighbours? Unless you answered, “totally better,” you need to improve your curb appeal game.

Curb appeal is all about how your home looks on the outside. It’s not just your house, it’s the aesthetic of your whole property. That includes the house, porch, lawn, garden, and all the tiny details in between.

Home curb appeal is crucial to property value and getting the most out of your home when you’re selling. But even if you’re not selling, improving your property’s curb appeal will help you to keep up with the Joneses and make your house feel more like a home.

Keep reading to learn our 7 no-wail ways to improve your home’s curb appeal!

1) Coordinate An Exterior Color Scheme For The Whole Property

Our first no-fail way to improve your home’s curb appeal is to make everything from your house to your mailbox a part of the same exterior color scheme. Coordinate your house color, the front porch, window shutters, and everything else you can see from the road.

It doesn’t all have to be the same, but the elements should all be colors that complement each other. Of course, your house color would be the dominant color in your exterior color theme.

Here are a few of the best exterior paint colors for curb appeal:

Navy Blue
Red
Muted Green

2) Maintain Your Lawn & Garden

Nothing makes a house look better than a lush garden and a healthy lawn. Make sure your grass is healthy and always mowed to perfection. Nothing chases away buyers like patchy or overgrown grass.

Also, plant a garden or add some vibrant plants to yours. If you don’t have a green thumb, don’t worry. There are lots of easy-keepers like perennials. Or, if you’re feeling creative, try planting flowers that fit your exterior color scheme.

3) Repaint Or Restain Your Front Porch

Your front porch is typically as visible as the house, so it’s a mistake not to think of it, too, when trying to improve your home’s curb appeal. At the very least, you should pressure wash your front porch to give it the refresh that it desperately needs.

Or, for something new and different, you could stain or repaint it. If you do that, coordinate your deck’s color with the rest of the exterior color scheme.

4) Paint The Front Door A Vibrant Color

Our next no-fail way to improve your home’s curb appeal is by painting your front door a bright, vibrant, and trendy color. Pro tip: make sure your front door offsets your house’s color.

Take a look at some of the fab front door paint colors:

Red
Black/Charcoal Gray
Light Teal
Golden Yellow
Dark Blue

5) Update Your Garage

Like your front porch, the minimal step to improving your garage’s curb appeal is giving it a good pressure wash. But, if you’re going to have an exterior color scheme, you should really go all in and repaint your garage to match your house color. That means repainting the door to match your front door too.
