Let's face it. You already know you have a gorgeous home, complete with a grand, sweeping foyer and beautiful vaulted ceilings. However, chances are that your home is lacking a bit in curb appeal and could use some sprucing up. It is important to remember that first impressions are lasting impressions, and if your home doesn't "speak" to a potential buyer, they may pass it right up without having the chance to be won over by the spectacular interior. Here are four ways to spruce up the exterior of your home that will undoubtedly attract the buyers,
1. Porch lighting - It is probably within reason to assume that most homeowners have never thought twice about their exterior lighting. That old frosted, fluorescent, free-standing bulb tells buyers that it is possible that you have not put much work into your home. The best way to brighten up your front porch is to invest in some unique lighting fixtures. My personal favorite would have to be adding two exterior sconces or lanterns to either side of your front door. These come in many shapes and sizes, and can be a fresh and unique way to update your porch lighting.
2. Add shutters or update old ones - The great thing about shutters is that they are noticeable even from afar and they can instantly transform the overall look of your home. The bad thing about shutters is if they look worn or dull, they can greatly decrease the attractiveness of your home. Before you decide to sell your home, think about your current shutters (or lack thereof) and consider making a change. If you do not have shutters, the investment will almost certainly increase the curb appeal of your home. If your current shutters are looking a bit dull, consider adding a coat of paint in either a matching or abstract shade to either polish up or create an eye-popping appearance.
3. House numbers - House numbers are important for the simple fact that you want your home to be easy to find, and painted curb numbers do not count in this case. By adding house numbers to the exterior of your home, not only do you add tons of curb appeal, but you also make it easier for buyers to find your home! House numbers come in several shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, so matching the numbers to the overall feel of the exterior of your home will be a snap. The whole point of adding house numbers is for the numbers to actually stand out!
4. Porch seating - Adding some porch seating might be the simplest way to bring some character to the exterior of your home, but will still make a huge impact. Porch seating lends a cozy, "lived in" feel to your home, and entices buyers to walk up to your front porch. Furniture made for the outdoors will work best in this case. Porch seating could range from a simple bench to a set of chairs assembled around a small table. My personal favorite would be a few colorful outdoor pillows added to a simple wooden bench. The possibilities are endless!
