Keeping Up With the Jones’ While Keeping the HOA’s at Bay—Exterior Updates on a Budget
Q: What are some budget-friendly ways to upgrade the exterior of my home without a full renovation?
1. **Focus on the Front Door**: Paint the front door a bold color to make a statement and add personality. Upgrade the hardware for a fresh look. Maybe even spring to repaint the shutters to complement the new door color.
2. **Enhance Lighting**: Install stylish outdoor lighting fixtures to illuminate pathways and highlight architectural features.
3. **Add Greenery**: Incorporate seasonal plants and flowers in window boxes, hanging baskets, and flower beds. Consider planting shrubs or small trees for added texture and dimension.
4. **Tidy Up**: Power wash surfaces like the driveway, walkway, and siding to remove dirt and grime. Trim bushes and trees, and mulch flower beds for a polished appearance.
5. **Small Details Matter**: Upgrade house numbers, replace a worn-out mailbox with a stylish one, and add decorative shutters for visual interest.
6. **Create a Welcoming Entryway**: Place a cozy doormat, a seasonal wreath, and potted plants near the entrance. Consider adding seating or a small table with décor to make the entryway inviting.
7. **Landscaping Touches**: Define pathways with stepping stones or gravel. Add borders to flower beds for a clean look and incorporate low-maintenance plants for year-round appeal.
By combining these tips, you can significantly enhance your home's exterior without the need for a full renovation, creating a welcoming and visually appealing space.
