How to Add Kerb Appeal in 10 Easy Steps

Here are some of the best ways you can instantly improve your home’s exterior in 10 easy steps:

1. Front door

For a grand entrance, you really need your front door to stand out amongst the rest on the street. A solid, reliable front door can be rather pricey but it is well worth the investment as it will last you a long time and draw the eye to the property.

2. Windows

Windows make up a large part of the home’s exterior, therefore making sure they are clean and modern is important. Replace any broken windows or panes where the double glazing has blown, so you don’t have to worry about the build up of condensation putting people off.

3. Gutters

There’s nothing more untidy than neglected gutters overspilling with leaves and weeds that have been left to build up. Clear out all the rubbish and see to any repairs that might need doing. Following this, make sure you keep up with your guttering maintenance regularly.

4. Driveway and surrounding area

Keep your driveway free from weeds and make sure you regularly sweep up. Keep any leaves, dust or dirt away from your house so it doesn’t get accidentally walked indoors.

5. Fresh paint

Give everything a fresh lick of paint to revive your home. Whether it’s an old front door, garage door, window shutters or anything else; it’s surprising what a difference a fresh coat of paint can make!

6. Fencing

Repaint the fencing and see to any repairs that might need doing e.g. from any strong, gusty winds. This will help keep the parameters of your property neat and tidy.

7. Mowed lawn

A well kept lawn and neatly trimmed shrubs and hedges can change a property’s appearance entirely and give the right first impression to any passer-bys or prospective buyers.

8. Weeding

Weeds can rather annoyingly pop up anywhere and can quickly make a place look untidy, so keeping on top of it is very important – and can actually be a good workout too!

9. Lighting, flowers and a door mat!

Dress up your front door with decorative features for a warm welcome.  Arrange fresh flowers or shrubs in pots in a symmetrical position either side of the door for a beautiful entrance.

Outdoor lighting not only looks great but is also ideal for extra security. They can illuminate pathways in the ground or be wall mounted next to the front door, so you don’t have to worry about scrambling around for your keys in the dark anymore!

10. Garage door

Garage doors are larger than front doors and some can take up to 50% of your home’s exterior! With this in mind, choosing the right garage door and maintaining it throughout the year is very important for kerb appeal.
