4 Ways to Instantly Improve Your Home’s Exterior

July 21, 2020

Now that we’re in the midst of summer, you’ll find yourself spending a lot more time in your front porch.

Sometimes, homeowners become so focused on a property’s interior design, the exterior design ends up being a little bit neglected. Adding a personal touch to the outside of your home is a great way to give your place a little more personality, and make it feel a lot more like yours.

However, giving the outside of your home a makeover might be overwhelming. You might not know where to start.

This article will aim to give you a head-start on the process by breaking down five different ways you can kick-start the exterior home design process! So, if you want to know various ways to transform your home, keep reading!

4 Ways to Instantly Improve Your Home's Exterior great outdoors Outdoors

1. Add fairy lights to the outside

These are probably the cheapest and easiest way to add an instant sparkle (no pun intended) to your home.

A lot of people think that fairy lights can only be used around the Christmas period, but this is far from true. Golden fairy lights can add a brilliant decorative ambiance to your home any time of the year.

They aren’t expensive, and can really bring a touch of elegance and class to your home, making you feel as if you are living in a holiday villa!

You can get fairy lights that are either battery powered or plugged in via an outlet, although the latter is more recommended if you hope to cover a lot of ground with your lighting.

2. Add a gate and some fencing

This is a more expensive option, but is ideal not just to get an extra layer of security in your home, but also to add depth to your home. By adding an eye-catching gate to the front of your home, it can make your front yard look bigger – especially when it is coupled by clever landscaping.

From wood to metal, there are a range of gate designs to choose from depending on your budget and desired look for your home. It’ll look even better if paired with matching fences and an arbour, which is a plant that will grow all around the the gate/fencing for a rustic, fairytale look.

3. Add decking to your home

If you have the extra funds and land around your property, you can always go all-out and add some decking to your home!

Decking is a great addition to any house because as well as giving your home an air of prestige, it can be a great outdoor seating area for many a summer evening! It also gives you more room for activities.

Whether you want a quiet dining area or more space for mingling at a house party, you can be sure that decking will really help to give you more space at a reasonable price.

If you want to try and add decking in your home, there are countless businesses out there, such as Dupont Decks, that can help.

Research decking businesses near you so that you can get an idea of what kind of decking you can get, and at what price.

4. Change your front door

Changing your front door might seem simple, but people underestimate how central doors are to the overall outside look of your home.

Whether you are after a door that adds a pop of color or a glass one to bring some sophistication to your place, you’d be surprised by just how much difference a door can make to the outside of your home.

Bottom Line

You don’t have to splash cash to upgrade your home. A quick touch of paint or a new gate could elevate it entirely. But, especially if you plan on staying in the property for a long time, consider long-term investments like decking that will help you enjoy your home to the fullest.
