Your home’s curb appeal refers to its appearance from the outside, and it can make a strong first impression. This means that you’ll want to make your home’s exterior look as attractive as possible, which is surprisingly easy to do on a modest budget. Here are a few affordable ways to increase your own home’s curb appeal.

Add Some Flower Pots Planting flowers and shrubs is a great way to increase your home’s curb appeal. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of planting a whole garden, you can always display some flowers in pots for a cheaper and less time-consuming alternative.

Paint Your Front Door If you’re not up for repainting your home’s exterior or installing new siding, you can always paint your front door instead. Not only will this refresh a drab-looking door, but it can be peterbubelpropertymanagement.com/how-to-increase-curb-appeal-on-a-budget/

Keep Your Yard Tidy Simply keeping up with your yard work will go a long way towards increasing your curb appeal. You should be mowing your lawn, trimming your hedges, and raking your leaves anyway, so you won’t be adding to your normal budget or workload.

Install Outdoor Lighting Some outdoor lighting can make your home look much more welcoming in the evening and at night. Stick to solar lights and low-voltage lights along your front walkway to keep costs low while still improving your curb appeal.

Attract Birds Believe it or not, attracting birds with a bird feeder or a birdhouse can increase your home’s curb appeal. You can build these things yourself if you enjoy arts and crafts projects, but you can easily find birdhouses and feeders for relatively low prices along with a good supply of birdseed.

Install Window Boxes Window boxes are great places to plant flowers and add a touch of color to your home’s exterior. You should build them for the best results, but once they are installed, you can plant just about any colorful flower you want to add to your home’s curb appeal.

Update Your Mailbox As strange as it sounds, updating your mailbox is a great way to add some personality to your home. This can be a simple paint job, or it can involve buying and installing a new mailbox that would look great in front of your home.
