Freshening up your curb appeal is a cost effective way to upgrade your home exterior. Small touches like a doormat, stylish planters and a front door wreath allow you to make a stunning first impression with your home without costing you an arm and a leg. If you feel like your curb appeal is lack lustre and are looking for ways to spruce it up, we’re giving you 6 easy tricks to freshen up your curb appeal! 

1. Upgrade Your House Numbers 

Do you still have the original house numbers from when you moved in? If your house numbers are looking old and tired, upgrade them to make them stand out. Choose modern, easy to read numbers that ensure your guests can find your home effortlessly. Choose a contrasting colour that will pop against your home’s exterior and place an outdoor light above them to make sure they’re easily seen.

2. Chic Doormat 

If you’ve yet to hop on the doormat bandwagon, now is the time. Switching up your doormat each season is a great way to give your curb appeal a much needed refresh. Doormats come in all different shapes and sizes, and you can find them for different holidays and seasons. They’re a great way to welcome guests and can make a huge difference to the overall look of your porch! 

3. Throws and Pillows 

Do you have a seating area on your front porch? Cozy it up with throws and pillows. Fluffy, bright coloured outdoor pillows and throw blankets will warm you up if you love spending time outside, and enhance your curb appeal at the same time. Mix and match pillows and place them on any outdoor chairs, couches or porch swings you have. 

4. Outdoor Lanterns 

Pretty lanterns are a stylish way to upgrade your curb appeal. They’ll give your front porch an enchanting, romantic feel, whether you hang them or place them on your porch. If you’re placing them on your porch or stairs, buy matching lanterns in a few different sizes and heights for a dimensional look. Lanterns in matte black, copper or gold are sure to stun.

5. Stylish Planters

Outdoor plants aren’t just for spring and summer- there are a number of winter flowers that make it possible for you to dress up your front porch no matter the season. Place your favourite seasonal florals in stylish planters to give your curb appeal some personality. Whether your space calls for tall ceramic planters or smaller more decorative ones, potted plants will freshen up your porch through any season. 

6. Front Door Wreath

As we head into the fall and winter months, a decorative wreath is an awesome way to spruce up your front door. It’s charming and welcoming, giving your home a cozy feel. And you don’t have to forgo the wreath during warmer months. Switch it up to a beautiful eucalyptus wreath that will take you through spring and summer.
