Knock on wood
There is so much you can do with your front door. A fresh lick of paint, particularly in a bold colour, will boost the entire appearance of the entranceway. There are plenty of products designed to brighten plastic and uPVC doors, too. You might want to upgrade the hardware too, from the door handle to the letter box, the knocker or house number. Flanking either side with feature lighting and flower pots will further add to the overall aesthetic impact.
Green fingers
An easy win is to clear your front garden of any leaves and weeds. For those with a lawn, keep it tidy and balance any yellowness with an appropriate feeder. If you have time to commit to a longer-term project, planting a trellis with non-invasive vines will be a charming addition to the walls and front-door framing.Similarly, flower pots are guaranteed to uplift with colour and scent. Don’t have a front garden? No fret.Why not try hanging baskets or window boxes filled with herbs—success lies in the smallest of details.
Wheelie bin hideaway
Concealing your bins is a game-changer for curb appeal. Depending on your space, budget and any local restrictions, there’s plenty of scope for creativity here. Wooden fencing, strategic hedge placements, custom-made sheds and bamboo screens can all be effective methods to hide your bins—and other tools, bikes and equipment, for that matter.
Perfect paving
Take a pressure washer to your pathway or patio, removing any dirt that’s built up over time. If things are still looking tired, it might be an idea to update the stoneware, gravel ortiling; this can be a costly affair, but the impact will be unparalleled.
All in working order
It’s sensible to ensure any maintenance issues are dealt with prior to viewings—you don’t want to burden any prospective buyers with these tasks! Check that your roof is in good condition, the gutters are cleaned out, the windows aren’t dilapidated and any gates aren’t rusted over.
Crystal clear
It’s essential to clean your windows. It’s a simple job that shows you take care and pride in your home, while also allowing as much sunlight inside as possible. While you’re there, have a think about window displays—flowers and ornaments make for an engaging focal point.
