Creating Curb Appeal : How to nail it!

Curb appeal - the instant attraction of a property before you step through the door.

Not every property has curb appeal, and others have really let theirs dwindle. Whether you're looking to sell your property, add value or just offer that wow factor to you and your guests, the great news is that it doesn't have to be hard work, nor expensive to upp your curb appeal.

But what can you do to yours? Here a easy guide on what to do to the front of your property to bring instant appeal.

A Grand entrance

Whatever size property you have, making your front door a focal point will create instant appeal. Choose your front door wisely though - it needs to be inkeeping with the overall design of your property.

A clean colour palette

Updating your exterior colour palette can instntly lift your property appearance and create great curb appeal. For a seamless look, choose complimentary shades, with dominant areas like doors being in accent tones like black.

The devil is in the detail

Even the smaller, finer details are evident on the exterior of your property. Updating small details like your knocker, house nmber and exterior light are all inexpensive updates that are easy to make.

Flower Power

Inject some colour and softness to the front of your property using flower power. This is especially important if your property is surrounded by harsh materiald like pavements and tarmac. If you lack a front 'garden', use potted plants and layer them in height using stools andcrates.

A Clear Path

Lift that curb appeal by making sure you have a clear and defined path to your door. Consider your path as the journey into your home - giving visitors an all important first impression. Upgrade your path to newtiles, or jet wash what you do have to quickly removebuild up of dirt.
