With the warmer weather here, we will be spending more time outdoors and may notice small things that might need to be improved in our front exterior area.
I have selected ten quick ways that you can update and freshen up your home’s exterior.
- Paint your front door
Transforming your front door with a new color is one of the simplest, cost-effective ways to make your exterior pop.
Tips to paint your front door:
- Wash your door with TSP to remove any dirt buildup
- Allow the door to completely dry
- Apply your primer and paint
While painting your door, be sure to look at the door hardware. Does it need to be updated or changed? Now is the time to do it to really transform your door.
2) Hang an eye-catching decoration on your door
Adding something new to your front door gives your home’s exterior a fresh look. And it’s a lovely welcome to your guests.
Customize your door decor and change it up as often as you like. They are an inexpensive way to elevate your entryway, and you can either buy different ones from the store or make it yourself.
3) Change Out Old Light Fixtures
Whether your lighting fixtures are decades old or you just moved into a home with outdated details, replacing lighting is simple.
Look at the style of your home. Then best select the light fixtures that accentuate your home’s exterior. Don’t forget to change the lights over the garage as well as in the back of the house. They ideally should all be the same style, type and colour.
4) Upgrade Your Exterior Doormat
It’s amazing how a new door mat can freshen up your porch!
Maybe you’ve had the same old mat for years. Or maybe you’re someone who likes to stay seasonal, so you want a mat that matches the nature of the seasons. There are so many styles for you to choose from: Coco coir, rubber or indoor/outdoor mats. Select the one that appeals to you.
5) Need new house numbers?
Select house numbers in a contrasting finish to your exterior to achieve eye catching curb appeal. Why not install your address numbers vertically for a unique look?
Numbers may be made from brushed aluminum, have black, white or bronze finishes, or some even light up.
These tips, in any combination, will be sure to add a little personality and interest to your home’s exterior.
