5 Ways to Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal (in One Weekend!)

It’s that time of year again; the sun is out, you and your family are spending more time outside, and for the first time in a long time, you’re finally taking a good look at the front of your house. We’ve all been there, and hey, there’s nothing wrong with a little curb appeal facelift for the summer! Here are 5 quick and easy ways to improve your home’s curb appeal, and even better, you can get it done all in one weekend.

Add Potted Plants

​Greenery is a must when updating your home’s curb appeal. Choose 3 to 5 plants that vary in size, height, and texture. Pick out pots that complement each other and pair them with an appropriately sized plant. Place plants in groupings of 2 or 3 and watch as your front porch goes from drab to warm and welcoming!

Upgrade Your House Numbers

New house numbers are a small upgrade that makes a big difference. If you can, match your new numbers to your home’s exterior finishes. This will create a fresh and cohesive look for the front of your house.

Replace Your Mailbox

If your mailbox has seen better days, it may be a good time to consider replacing it with a new one! Make sure you check local regulations for mailbox placement before you install. Once you see this update, you’ll be so glad you made the switch.

Install Window Boxes

Window boxes are a quick and easy way to add more dimension to your home’s exterior. You can DIY this project or find inexpensive options at your local home improvement store. Don’t forget to add some colorful flowers, too!

Clean or Refresh Your Shutters

How long has it been since you’ve cleaned your shutters? Sometimes that’s all you need to brighten things up! If this isn’t enough to do the trick, a couple coats of paint will be an inexpensive and easy upgrade to make.
