The first and number one thing that really changes the look of the home is paint. Whether you going to full on change the exterior of the home or just paint the front door. Paint create drastic change. A few coats of paint can give the home a face lift and have it looking fresh and new in no time. Is your door fairly neutral and blends in with the home? Boost your curb appeal by having the front door stand out with some colour. In many trends today we are seeing bright reds, navy blues or even bright yellows. This change only costs up to $80.

Another tip we have to add curb appeal is to update your exterior light fixtures. Today there are so many choices to chose from. The most important factor when deciding on light fixture is the sizing. In order to determine the best size wall fixture, multiply the height of the door in inches by one-fourth (0.25) for a standard look.

Lastly, the best way to up your curb appeal is landscape! Landscaping can really make or break the look of your home, it is thee first thing people see when they see the home. Not only is it expensive, it is hard work and very time consuming to do landscape. This is why landscaping also adds to the overall value of the home.  Even if it is just adding a few planter pots of hanging baskets for a bit of colour can make a huge difference.
