Ten Budget-Friendly Tips for Excellent Curb Appeal:

In The Spotlight.
To help make your home stand out with spectacular curb appeal, you will want to purchase yard spotlights. Your plants are something to be proud of and shining a spotlight on them can be just what your home needs. You do not need to buy that many spotlights, just a few will do the trick. This way even at night, your home can stand out from the rest.

Planted Landscape.
Speaking of plants, you want to make sure that you have focused a lot of your attention on your plants and landscape. These two aspects can be some of the most important features of your home’s exterior. The work and effort you put into designing your landscape can reflect on the rest of your exterior; therefore, you want to take time to plan it. Map out where you want your flowers and plants to go in your yard before you get started.

Beautiful Containers.
Planters are a quick and easy way to transform your yard without working too hard. Try adding some beautiful containers throughout your front yard to add interest and design.

Front Door Wreath + Doormat.
Nothing quite says “welcome home” like a stylish wreath and doormat for your front door. Try adding these finishing touches to your front entrance for a warm welcome.

Lawn Maintenance.
In order to have great curb appeal, you need to maintain your lawn. A happy and healthy lawn can make all of the difference in a home’s exterior. Be sure you take time to maintain your lawn’s health for a long-lasting yard.

Welcoming Porch.
Porches can be a relaxing paradise and their design should not be taken lightly. You want to focus a lot of your attention on your porch’s look. You want equal parts cozy and chic. Try adding extra seating, pillows, and decorations to make your porch more welcoming.

New Color.
Freshen up your home’s exterior with a new colored paint. You can use the new color to liven up your house numbers, shutters, and even your front door. A fresh coat of paint can help your house look put together and brand new!

Power Wash.
While you are freshening up your outdoors, it is a good idea to power wash your home’s exterior. Nowadays, you do not even have to own a power washer; you can just rent one from your local home improvement store. Just be sure that you position yourself at least 10-18 inches away from the siding. For expert advice, ask the sales associate at your local home improvement store for their tips and tricks.

Updated Hardware + Fixtures.
If your hardware and fixtures are looking dull, you can update them with modern replacements. The updated pieces will help your home look well-kept and brand new.

You’ve Got Mail.
Another great area that you can focus on is your mailbox. If your mailbox is looking run-down, now can be a great time to replace it.
