Are you looking to step up your spring curb appeal game? Check out these tips for easy curb appeal fixes to try out this spring.
Flowers
- Give your flower beds some TLC: Get flower beds ready for spring and summer by planting seasonal flowers. Brightly colored flowers and properly edged flower beds can really boost your spring curb appeal.
- Hide eye sores: Plant flowers or shrubs in front of utility boxes, air conditioning units, meters, etc.
Lighting
- Add lighting: An important part of curb appeal is illumination. Add walkway lighting, add low hanging lanterns in trees or use spotlights for large trees. Properly lighting the exterior of the home and showcasing the landscaping makes a huge difference with spring curb appeal.
Paint
- Freshen up paint: A fresh coat of paint on the front door and shutters will go a long way in polishing your home’s curb appeal.
Mailbox
- If your mailbox has seen better days, consider either painting it or replacing it all together. A home’s exterior can look great but a dilapidated mailbox can really take away from the overall appearance of the home.
Add color
- Flowers planted in containers and put on the front porch or a new colorful welcome mat can brighten up and freshen the front porch and really set the stage for the rest of the home.
Garage door
- If your garage is on the front of your home, it’s especially important not to ignore the garage door. Give the door a new coat of paint or a beautiful new stain and consider adding hardware. It’s amazing what a difference a sharp garage door can make.
Clean, clean clean
- Use a power washer to spray down the exterior of the home as well as the front walkway. Washing away the dirt and grime from the fall and winter is very important and will go a long way in improving curb appeal.
