Who wouldn’t want to walk up to a home that is as inviting on the outside as it is on the inside? Creating a sense of warm inviting curb appeal can be achieved in many ways. Some of these are as follows:
- Install new shutters. Shutters are an attractive detail that just creates an inviting aspect to the front of any home. There are many options to explore from style to material. There is always one that is perfect for any home.
- Front door replacement. Simple replacing the front entry door can create a warm and inviting entrance to any home. It is also very possible to create a statement with the door you choose. From wood to fiberglass, there are many selections and styles to review.
- Walkways and front stoops/porches. Sometimes, capping the existing walkway and front stoop with flagstone or brick creates a whole new feel to front of the home. In most cases, professional help is required. Sometimes, power washing the walkway and stoop is enough to give the front of the home and nice clean look.
- Lighting. Replacing the front entry light or lights with new fixtures is an easy way to change the feel to the entryway. Also, adding low voltage yard lights along the walkway creates a natural inviting look and feel.
- Landscaping. Cleaning up and pruning overgrown bushes and plants is a simple way to create an inviting front space. Removing debris and pruning trees also helps. In most cases, it makes sense to use professionals for the tree trimming.
Depending on your level of adventure, some of these items can be DIY items. Some will need professionals. Combining the DIY aspects with professional help can achieve your curb appeal goals while watching the budget.
