We are just now getting to updating our exterior (reveal to come soon!) It has taken us five yeas to finally save up for it after doing things only on the interior. I already feel so much happier, just by some paint and a new fence. If your home is no longer offering the level of visual appeal from the outside as you’d like it to, it’s probably time to make some changes to it. There are lots of things you can do to enhance your home’s exterior aesthetic, and it’s a good investment to make in your home if you want to improve its overall appearance.

I am going to talk you through some of the ways in which you can spruce up your home’s exterior aesthetic and impress anyone and everyone who passes by. Not all these changes require a big financial investment, but some do. Hopefully you’ll find something here that appeals to you :)

Update the Driveway

This is something we will eventually get to. An old and worn down driveway can look terrible and really impact the way in which your home as a whole looks from the outside. On the other hand, a freshly laid and modern looking driveway can transform your exterior space and make it all look better than it’s looked for a long time. It’s impressive how much of a difference the right driveway can make to the exterior appearance of your home, so don’t underestimate the value of this change.

Fix Any Lingering Issues with Your Roof

If there are any existing issues in your home with the roof, it’s a good idea to have these fixed sooner rather than later. It’s easy to ignore roof issues because they’re out of sight and therefore easy to put out of mind too. But those problems can impact the appearance of the home and might lead to further issues that you don’t want to be dealing with later on. Hire a professional to take care of the work for you. This is especially the case if you have metal roofing.

Plant an Impressive Tree in the Front Yard

If you want your front garden to really make a statement and stand out, you should think about planting a tree there. There are so many to choose from and to consider, and you can really change the outward appearance of your home and its exterior space if you do select the right tree to plant there. Do some research and find one that you like and that complements the overall style and aesthetic of your home.

Update your front door

Your front door is the first thing many people will look at when approaching your home. If your door is looking tired and faded, consider whether it’s time to update it. You may be able to simply apply a new lick of paint if it’s a wooden or metal door - choosing a bright colour will help to make your front door pop. Alternatively, you could look into custom door installations and choose a new stylish design to help impress guests. On top of considering the aesthetics of your door, make sure to consider factors like insulation and security.

Do Something New with the Gate and Fencing

When our gate was finished it immediately changed the appearance of our exterior even before the paint. It might be a good idea to think about the perimeter of your garden as well. When you have the right fence in place, it can really offer the right kind of finishing touches to your outside space. It offers a clear demarcation of where the sidewalk ends and your property begins as well. To make the space more welcoming and add another stylistic flourish, you could also look to have a new gate installed as well.

Install A Cool New Feature

Another way is to think about adding a cool new feature into your garden design. It could be a water feature or a pond to add some intrigue. Or you could even look at swimming pool remodeling and bring your pool back to life. Be sure to look for a pool service near me so you can keep it in good shape though. Sometimes, even starting a rose garden or bonsai garden could be really fun and allow you to get a brand new exciting focal point for your outside space.

Get New Garage Doors Fitted

Finding the right garage door for your garage might not be the most pressing concern. But it’s important to remember that the garage door is pretty large and is one of the things people will see when looking at your home from the front. That’s why you should consider getting a new garage door fitted if the current one is old and tired. There are Garage Door Companies that can help you make the right choice and get it installed for you too.

Install a Covered Entrance

Another touch that can make the entrance to your home a little more pleasant and inviting is adding a covered entrance. It’s a small touch but makes a big difference. You might want to go even further and think about creating an entirely new porch and patio area where you can place a chair and enjoy the outdoor space you have. It’s the kind of change that really does have a big positive impact on your home’s overall curb appeal and that’s what this is all about.

Hang Window Boxes

Finally, you should think about hanging some window boxes at your property. They allow you to add some color and a little extra greenery to your home. If that’s something that your home’s exterior is currently lacking, this is an easy and affordable way to correct that. They’re easy to put in place and have a very positive visual impact.

Now that you’ve read about the ways in which you can do something new with your home’s exterior and make it a little more aesthetically pleasing, all that’s left to do is put them into action. In doing so, you’ll increase the value of your home and improve its outward appearance.

Cheers!
