We cannot stress enough how much first impressions count when trying to sell your home. Buyers will often judge a home based entirely on its exterior, and if they don’t like what they see, they may decide it’s not worth taking a look at inside. Here are a few innovative ways you can make your home’s exteriors look more appealing.
1. Replace old hardware. Your house number, your front door knob, a wall-mounted mailbox, and overhead light fixtures are all elements that can add style and interest to your home’s exterior. If they are dirty, damaged or out of date, your home may not convey the aesthetic you’d like. Consider repairing these elements or replacing them completely. They will add the most appeal when they work cohesively, so consider oiled-bronze finishes for more traditional homes, or brushed nickel hardware for a contemporary home.
2. Create perfect symmetry. This is not only pleasing to the eye, but it is also relatively easy to do. Consider adding symmetrical light fixtures or front door accents, or putting one potted plant on each side of your entryway.
3. Install outdoor lighting. Installing low-voltage landscape lighting can boost your home’s curb appeal while also adding safety and security to it. Consider adding accent lighting to trees in your front yard or illuminating your walkway.
4. Create a container garden. This gives your home a more welcoming feel and adds color in a quick and affordable way. Create your own instant garden with your favorite plants or buy ready made containers from a garden center.
5. Give your mailbox a makeover. It’s a small change, but it can make a big difference. Paint your mailbox to match your home’s exterior color, or dress it up with flowers or other embellishments.
