Your home’s front exterior is like the “face,” of your house; it’s hard to hide and it is the first thing people see and focus on. Just like you wouldn’t want to greet friends with food in your teeth, you don’t want your home’s front exterior looking anything but the best. Here are 6 easy and impactful ways to spruce up the front of your house.
1. Add an Illuminated Address Sign
An illuminated address sign is the best way to standout from the crowd. A unique address sign or house numbers can give extra life to the appearance of your home and guarantee that no one will ever get lost finding your house.
An illuminated address sign also adds to your outdoor home safety by providing more light to the area and helps identify your place quickly in an emergency.
A LED address sign sets the tone for the rest of your home’s exterior. If LED address signs aren’t your style, consider a simple cap light over your house address; this more classic look works just as well.
2. Install a Brand New Front Door
Over the years, doors take a beating but they are one of the largest and most noticeable features at the front of the home. A new door — with a bright address sign— is a first big step in redoing the exterior. If installing a new door is too much work, try a splash of fresh paint to spruce up your aging door. While you’re at it, why not try a fresh new colour?
3. Boost Curb Appeal With Landscaping
Landscaping not only highlights the beauty of the trees, shrubs and flowers already in your yard, but can hide unsightly elements of your home like electrical or gas conduits. Ensure the trees and planters match the contours and architecture of your home for an especially pulled together look.
4. Install New Outdoor Lights
Brightly lit house numbers shouldn’t be the only outdoor lighting on your property! Add some interesting porch lighting in the form of recessed lighting over the door and around the sides of the house can enhance your home. You can even add lanterns across the front of your porch and down your driveway.
5. Install a Doorknocker
While you are replacing the front door, consider adding a shiny, unique doorknocker. As well as your address sign, these smaller, detailed elements will help build a picture of who you are and what you’re about. Ensure that the style of you address sign and your new doorknocker match. If you want to be extra fancy and pulled together, why not try an engraved knocker with your family name?
6. Change Up the Details
Every home is different. Show that this is true, but really individualizing your home and yard. You can add numerous accessories to your home exterior to make it look unique and stand out from the curb, like unique patio furniture. If that’s not your style, try one of these: add shutters to your windows and paint them so they brighten the windows; add a one-of-a-kind broken stone path around the front of your home and down the sides; remove the old grey pavement driveway and add luxurious stone or brick; paint the mail box a bright red or yellow.
