Read the following design tips to boost your curb appeal.
When you think of curb appeal, you might think of the front landscape or siding color. While these are both essential to a home’s appearance, other factors create a successful curb appeal. One of those factors is a cohesive entryway because this area consists of various elements that work together to make something beautiful. Read the following design tips to boost your curb appeal.
Consider an Open Design
Space is critical to welcoming visitors into your home. This is why some houses have open areas like foyers in their floorplans. The same is true for your entryway. An open entryway may involve a tall overhand with lots of extra room. However, make your overhand a different standard eight-foot ceiling height because this gives the illusion of cramped space. Also, avoid over-decorating to make your entryway look less cluttered.
Keep it Simple
Autumn is officially here, so you might be tempted to decorate your front entryway with deck furniture and seasonal elements. Some individuals line the walkway with foliage, thinking it can be more welcoming. But no one wants to step over plants to arrive at your front door. And extra decorations can make the area feel cluttered, which some people won’t want to come inside your household. Remember not to hide your front door to boost your curb appeal. Instead, invite possible home buyers inside with open spaces, bright colors, and minimal decorating.
Increase Your Curb Appeal with Outdoor Lighting
Some homeowners overlook outdoor lighting. Installing outdoor lighting in and around your entryway will illuminate your home, making it look more inviting. For example, you can illuminate your walkway with floor lights. Also, add several outdoor lamps or string some chic outdoor lights from your tree branches. This quick solution doesn’t have to be expensive, and it will boost your curb appeal!
