The initial reaction you have when encountering a new place is enduring — for better or for worse. Like it or not, it’s human nature for what’s on the outside to influence what we think about what’s on the inside. If your home’s exterior is getting lackluster reviews, don’t throw in the towel just yet! Assuming you aren’t dealing with major structural concerns, there are so many simple ways to increase your home’s curb appeal. Better yet, summer is the best time to take action. Take a look at these six easy projects that will transform your home exterior from drab to fab. ## **Change-up the Front Door** A brightly colored front door is eye-catching. Plus, it makes a great focal point for your home! Try adding a fresh coat of paint, a bold pop of color, or buy a new door with a more interesting design to mix things up. ## **Give Your Address a New Look** If your house numbers are starting to look dated or are hard to read, it may be time for an update. House numbers come in a wide variety of styles now, and you can always look to Pinterest for a little inspiration. The best part? Replacing them is as easy as picking out a new set at the local hardware store. ## **Plant New Landscaping** Never underestimate what the look and smell of fresh flowers can do for a home’s curb appeal. Investing in beautiful landscaping will add lasting value to your home that future buyers are sure to appreciate. ## **Power Wash and Restain Your Siding, Fence, or Deck** Any outdoor wood on your home should be washed, sealed, and re-stained every 2-4 years to maintain its life. Plus, a good wash truly can make a world of difference in your home’s appearance! ## **Upgrade Your Mailbox** A new mailbox isn’t a make or break home feature, but a newer or more unique-looking mailbox can help add to the overall feel of your home’s exterior. It shows that you care about the little details that make up your home. ## **Fix Any Problem Areas** Remember those home maintenance issues that have been on your weekend project list for ages? Yep, it’s time to knock them off! Anything that’s noticeably broken or in disrepair sends your home’s curb appeal plummeting. With that in mind, summer is the perfect time to get cracking on that broken gutter, missing brick, or aging asphalt. Need help improving your home’s curb appeal this summer?
