DO you have a beautiful home that needs a bit of work on the exterior? If you want your home to dazzle your neighbors, friends and family, you may want to update your curb appeal. The first impression people have of your home is what they see as they drive up to it. It may not look exactly how you want it to yet, but with a few updates you can make your diamond in the rough sparkle and shine!
Siding
Depending on the condition of your home’s exterior, you can often use paint to bring new life. If the siding has significant damage it may be more beneficial in the long run to go ahead and replace it with new vinyl siding Prairieville.
Landscape
The landscape doesn’t need to be elaborate to be beautiful. Basic things like keeping the lawn trimmed and removing weeds will make a big difference. Remember to edge up the walkways and driveway. You can add your own touch by planting flower beds. You can hang window boxes with herbs or flowers for a sweet cottage look.
Lighting
Add solar powered lights to the yard. Focus the lighting on accents you want to highlight like flower beds, window boxes, etc. You should also place them to light up walkways which is practical as well as aesthetic. Larger statement lights can be used for the front entry way. Maybe an outdoor chandelier would look nice by the front door.
With a little elbow grease, you can update your curb appeal. If you have been putting off the home improvement work, just pick one task and jump into it. Once you get started, everything will begin to flow. Once you take the plunge you will be glad you did. It may be hard work, but in the end you will have a home to be proud.
