3 Features of Appealing Exteriors

Whether you’re looking to boost your curb appeal before your home goes on the market or you just want to make your next-door neighbor green with envy, an appealing exterior is an important part of your home. If you’re new to home maintenance or you’re unsatisfied with your home’s exterior for any reason, here are three things to consider when you want to give your home a facelift.

Life

The one thing an exterior has in spades that an interior struggle to reproduce is life. Grass, trees, bushes and flowers all add a lively pop of color and appealing greenery, as long as they are well-maintained and attractive. Make sure that your lawn is green and healthy and consider landscape plant installation Boca Raton to add some life to your front yard.

Color and Shine

Plants can also add color, but they aren’t the only source. A fresh coat of paint can really boost your home’s exterior appeal, but even just cleaning your exterior can boost existing color. Add a bit more shine and sparkle by replacing old and worn-out fixtures like doorknobs, house numbers and even your mailbox.

Symmetry

Symmetry is always appealing to the human eye, but it’s worth remembering that perfect symmetry is not generally possible and would probably be a little boring. That said, if you have a path going down the middle of your lawn and you have a bush on one side, you probably want to balance it out with a bush on the other side.

Adding life, color and shine to your home’s exterior will make it pop and improve the look quickly. Creating symmetry, or at least balance in the design will make your home look put-together, harmonious and appealing. It’s well worth investing time money and thought into creating an appealing exterior for your home, to show your pride and show your neighbors what you can do.
