A beautiful home exterior can make or break curb appeal!

First impressions are so important, especially when buying a house. You know a charming house when you see one and want to stop and stare. If you are looking for mega charm or just something unique, read on for 7 easy and simple curb appeal ideas that are budget friendly and something you can do in a weekend.

1. Paint Front Door

Pick out a fun paint color out, grab a paintbrush and paint your front door! Easy to update and add some curb appeal. My friend paints her front door a different color every year. Red for fall, yellow for spring! It brings a cheery and inviting welcome to all her visitors. Paint is an instant way to boost your home’s aesthetics!

2. Add Flowering and Greenery Planters

There are so many beautiful large ceramic planters to choose from! Planters will instantly add color and personality to your home. This is a project that can be completed in an hour. I also like to have a cute watering can nearby so it’s easy to keep my plants watered.

3. Bring the Inside Outside

Have a seat! Sit back and relax! Want a drink? If you have the space, add a porch swing or chair. Put a throw pillow on a bench. If you don’t have a porch or space by the front door, then add a bench somewhere else in the front of your property. This is a welcoming signal. Another way to add curb appeal, but in the back of your house, is adding an outdoor table space and lounge space.

4. Update your Welcome Mat

Layering your welcome mat is a fun way to add warmth and is another way to invite your guests. Make sure you sweep it often. Throw your mat away if it has had a beating. Welcome mats are budget-friendly!

5. Change Outdoor Lighting

Updating your outdoor lighting is an easy way to add curb appeal to your home. Change out any old sconces and add any landscape solar lights to highlight your home’s best features.

6. Trim and Cut back Landscaping Plants

Ripping out plants that are randomly placed, and don’t beautify the elements of the home. Add flowering landscape plants for every season so you always have a continual plant that is blooming. Trim shrubs and plants that are overgrown. This is an easy weekend project, and really makes a huge difference in a home’s curb appeal!

7. Clean up the Junk

If your front yard is looking like it’s a junkyard, clean it up! Take the weekend, gather your junk and drop it off at the dump. It’s worth the time and energy to sort through and dispose of the mess. Declutter and remove any craft fair items like wind chimes, butterfly flags, and streamers – time to take those items and move them to your backyard.
