5 Quick Ways to Add Curb Appeal

Adding curb appeal to your home does not have to be expensive or time consuming. There are actually some simple and easy ways to make a big impact. Here are 5 quick ways to add curb appeal to your home.

1. Add Plants to the Front Door

Plants help add texture and color to the front of a home. It’s one of many really quick ways to add curb appeal. Something as simple as adding a potted plant to the left and right side of the door can make a huge difference! If you have a front porch, you might try adding hanging plants as well. Select a color that contrasts with your porch and/or siding colors. This will make the plants really stand out.

2. Add Mulch

A little bit of mulch can go a long way. By adding mulch to flower beds, you help define those flower beds and create a clean line between that and other landscaping elements. Plus, mulch hides weeds and irregularities in the texture of those beds. You can go with a bright red for a strong contrast or a darker wood color to blend more naturally into the environment.

3. Trim Bushes & Hedges

You don’t have to spend any money at all to change your curb appeal,… you may need to just spend some time. Trimming overgrown hedges and bushes will instantly improve your home’s curb appeal. Avoid taking away huge chunks, but instead, trim away gradually to ensure an even look and avoid exposing raw branches on the interior.

4. Paint the Front Door and/or Shutters

A fresh coat of paint can make something look like new. If your front door is faded in color, consider repainting it. This is also an opportunity to select a new color that pops. If you have shutters, you may want to paint those too and for the same reason. Consider using a different color for the front door versus shutters. This can expand your color palette and add yet another element of curb appeal.

5. Add a Piece of Furniture

If you have a large front porch and have nothing on it, it probably looks a bit bare and uninviting. Consider placing one or more pieces of furniture to make it more welcoming. Something as simple as a chair can be a great addition.

More Ways to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home

If you’re looking for more ways to add curb appeal to your home, make a quick visit to a local home decor or hardware store. Most offer a wide range of outdoor landscaping, furniture, and decor pieces. You are sure to find different things to pique your interest!
