As we know, first impressions definitely matter and when it comes to your home, you’ll want the place to be displayed in the best light. Whether you’re hoping to buy or sell, it’s important that the property stands out and makes a statement with a strong kerb appeal. How the house looks from the outside and the way the entrance is designed determines how buyers or visitors perceive the area before stepping foot inside. We’ve included a few tips to get you started on enhancing your home!
Front And Centre
The front door has a huge impact on the entire kerb appeal and with a bold colour choice, you are able to quickly draw the attention of potential investors. In addition to being noticeable and bringing a personal touch, painting a nice shade on your door can also create a warm and inviting feeling for guests walking in. While deciding what to paint, you’ll want to make sure that the door matches the rest of the house for a consistent colour scheme.
Fix Up The Entryway
There are multiple features involved when building your kerb appeal and with some requiring regular maintenance. As well as managing the wear and tear, scheduling a cleaning can avoid dirt and dust getting stored up particularly for homes with light neutral colours. Through tidying up the front yard, you’re able to present a neat pathway where everyone can be easily welcomed. If there’s enough room, you may also decide to brighten up the exterior with outdoor lighting and comfortable furniture.
Get Green
The house wouldn’t be complete without including potted plants and florals in your garden to bring the place to life. You can attach hanging baskets to accessorise the front door and add colourful flowers in the yard or drape them on the side of the wall. Apart from setting up a stylish entry and boosting your kerb appeal, the greenery produces a healthy living space and is also great for the environment.
From Top To Bottom
Rather than sticking with the standard, swap out old windows with a more fresh and modern design. For a homely feel, you can put in shutters to match the doors and apply a classic black and white colour combination. Having a paved path along your driveway, using wooden structures and upgrading your garage door all provide a cosy appearance. To mix it up, you can also blend traditional elements and fixtures with new upgrades for a unique overall look.
Using Extra Resources
With plenty of ideas and choices to step up your kerb appeal, it is important to be proactive. Through staging and highlighting what the house has to offer, you are able to quickly capture the interest of buyers. By carefully managing the budget, you are able to increase the property value and can look forward to gaining a solid return on investment.
