You can also add accents of hanging baskets and containers around the front or back area of your yard. 


Painting Your Home

An easy way to level up the exterior of your home is by adding a new color of paint. While painting the entire home a different color can be expensive, you could also just do your front door as well.

For front doors, think neutral ranges such as greys or bold colors like green or even pink! The sky’s the limit for the front door and it’s an easy way to update and do for a weekend project! 

 

Sprucing Up Your Front Porch

One of the easiest ways to work on your home you can add a comfortable seating area such as a rocking chair, swing, or various wicker seating. Another idea could be adding some personal touches like a cute sign, flowers, or a fun and witty doormat. You can add layering aspects to your doormats with colors for a border and then change them up depending on the season. 

Brass Fixtures

This metal can bring a shiny appeal to a home but you do not want to overboard from this fad in the 90s. Instead, shoot for oil-rubbed bronze fixtures on your front door and porch. An inviting front door can improve the home’s curb appeal, whether you are wanting to sell your home in the future or this is your forever home.
