10 THINGS TO IMPROVE YOUR HOME’S APPEARANCE

(okay, twelve things)

It’s surprising how a few simple, inexpensive steps can improve the appearance of your home. In most cases, the house you live in is your greatest asset. Whether you want it to look better for yourself, or your intention is to make it more appealing to potential buyers, try these twelve easy ways to make the best first impression possible.

1.      Prune hedges and shrubs in the front yard, especially those close to the house. Be sure no vegetation blocks windows. This makes the house appear immediately more modern, welcoming, and neater. It helps increase airflow when you open windows to bring in fresh air and makes it less appealing to intruders.

2.      Keep the lawn cut and trimmed. Rake weeds, dried leaves, and remove any fallen branches.

3.      Apply a thick coating of fresh mulch around hedges, bushes, trees, and plants. Not only does this help shrubbery hold needed moisture. It makes it easier to mow around them and assures passersby or potential buyers the home is well cared for.

4.      Wash the windows. This instantly gives the home a fresh, clean appearance. It helps enhance the inside atmosphere of the house.

5.      Clean the garage doors and shutters. If any paint is peeling or discolored, apply a fresh coat.

6.      Wash the front door and if needed, apply a new coat of paint in an inviting, modern color that accentuates the style of the house.

7.      Add a splash of color. If you’re up to it, plant a flowerbed of fresh blossoms. If not, colorful pot with brilliant blooms will do to give the house an inviting appearance.

8.      New, modern light fixtures for the front of the house (door, garage entrance) give the property an up-to-date impression.

9.      If you don’t upgrade lighting, at least wash the fixtures so they are clean and bug-free inside and out.

10.  Swap out old light bulbs for new, brighter ones.

11.  Remove clutter, toys, or tools from the front. Store them away in a basement, shed, or garage; or put them neatly inside a storage container in the back yard.

12.   Purchase a new, shoe-scrubbing welcome mat.
