Are you looking for ways to upgrade your property’s exterior? Whether you’re in the market to sell your home or you’re just hoping to complete a couple of renovations, here are seven ways you can boost your curb appeal.

 

1. Replace Old Hardware

The simplest way to improve the image of your home is to make quick fixes to any exterior hardware. Upgrade the door handle and lock. Swap your house numbers and replace your light fixtures to bring additional style to your property. Try using oiled bronze features to complement traditional homes and utilize brushed nickel elements to accessorize contemporary ones. Ensure all your door hardware and accessories match to convey the right aesthetic. 

 

2. Go Green With Window Boxes and Potted Plants

Boost your home's curb appeal by bringing some greenery to your windows. Quickly bring color and charm to your property by adding a window box of flowers. Choose copper or iron boxes for a traditional aesthetic, or pick a painted wood box for a cottage flair. Mix colorful flowers and plants that match your style and work well in the right lighting conditions. 

Transform your front porch into a miniature garden by purchasing a collection of potted plants and staggering them throughout the space. Your front door will immediately become more welcoming, and the burst of floral color will draw your neighbor’s eye. Potted plants are easy to care for — you can cover them when the weather gets cold, and they’re also convenient to water. 

 

3. Spruce up Your Garage Door

A great way to upgrade your home's appearance is to repaint your garage door. Updating your garage door with a new coat of paint can quickly increase your property value and offer an ROI. Before you break out the color, take a moment to determine the best shade to boost your curb appeal. 

Start by discovering your home's field color, or the dominant color, usually found on the bricks, siding or stone. Next, look at the trim color found on materials like door frames, soffits and awnings. They are typically white, cream or black. Most homeowners choose to match their garage door with their trim color. Avoid using the colors of furnishings, door handles or house numbers, which are often a bolder shade.

 

4. Create Symmetrical Walkways

One way to draw the eye to your property is to create a symmetrical walkway leading to your home. Symmetry is naturally pleasing to the eye and will immediately boost your property's curb appeal. Use matching sconces to illuminate your pathway leading to the door. Bring symmetry to your home by balancing your door with large planters. Ensure your hardware is also proportional, and you'll create a welcoming entryway for any guest. 

 

5. Add Outdoor Lighting

An easy way to spruce up your property’s exterior is to add outdoor lighting. You can place fixtures along walkways, in your garden or on your deck. Accent lighting provides atmosphere and security. You can consider solar energy options for outdoor lighting — keep in mind they need to be placed in direct sunlight so their batteries can charge during the day.

 

6. Up Your Fence Game

You can easily boost your property's curb appeal if you have a fence. Consider repainting the wall, adding a new garden gate or incorporating an arbor. You can find prefab arbor kits or plans for the parts you'll need and how to assemble them. Ensure the colors and style match your home's aesthetic before incorporating anything new into your fence. Another option to try is planting flowers around your perimeter to give it extra personality.

 

7. Incorporate Outdoor Art

Your yard is your happy place. Invest in it by purchasing weather-resistant artwork and you'll see a significant payoff in curb appeal. Consider buying a cast iron birdbath, lawn sculptures, water features or wind chimes. If you’re feeling crafty, you can easily create your own fountain, allowing you to customize as you see fit.
