Updating the exterior and adding curb appeal to your home doesn’t have to break the bank. There are plenty of small adjustments that can be made! Owning a house should be fun, and this is all part of turning a house into a home. Some of these projects can involve all family members, too. Grab your paint brushes!

Tip one:

A Bold Front Door

This is a great chance to add some personality to your home and a very budget-friendly way of adding curb appeal to your home! Next time you’re out driving, take note of what homes draw your attention. Chances are, the bold doors will stand out! Removing a storm door and adding a fresh coat of paint can go far.

 

A Front Mat + Plants

Let’s take a closer look at the mat by this front door. While this is not always as obvious from the street, these little touches can help draw your eyes to the entry way. Add some leafy green plants to compliment, and you’ve just created a more welcoming space!

 

 

An Updated House Number

Ever try looking for someone’s house number and it’s nowhere to be found? Spruce yours up and make it easy on the eyes! This is also a nice way to tie in some other cohesive elements to your front steps. If you’re changing the colour of your front door, you could use the same trim paint for this modern house number. This one can be a fun project, A Crafted Passion gives full instructions on this DIY!

 

Lighting + A Little Clean-Up

Here’s a great visual to tie it all together… before and after photos of nesting with grace‘s home. There’s a pop of colour on her door, a visible house number with a complimenting outdoor lamp, a doormat and she’s even covered her stairs leading up to door. Very welcoming!

Tidying up your landscaping goes a long way too. You don’t need to do anything crazy, but it’s free or next to nothing to spend an afternoon cutting the grass, pulling weeds and planting or potting some new greenery.
