3 Easy Ways to Boost Your Curb Appeal

Posted on January 13, 2023

Is it time to put your house on the market? To garner the best gains, put some small touches in place before snapping those listing pictures. Here are some professional painters tips to help improve curb appeal, including which exterior colors to choose and other small projects you can take on. Let’s get started!

Ways to Boost Curb Appeal

Colorful Front Door

The front door is the first interaction a potential buyer will have with your home. Create an impression with a new coat of paint that adds to the curb appeal. Try a pop of color to add a welcoming vibe. Take the extra step and invest in new fixtures to finish the look.

Spruce Up the Fences

Increase your curb appeal literally at the curb. If your fence around your home has seen better days, get some paint and make like Dennis the Menace. Renew the fence and make it pop with a new coat of paint. It will look less like a guard to keep people out and more like an opportunity to create charm.

Tend Gardens

It’s an annual task for spring to replant gardens and flower beds. While you’re working in the dirt, consider adding some more color with a brick or plastic edger. This will help define the garden from the grass. It also gives you the opportunity to add color in the form of paint. Add bright or coordinating colors to your home’s palette to make the garden seem thought out and stylish.

Paint the Exterior

Painting is one of the most impactful ways to make a difference to your home exterior. A fresh coat of paint can turn your home into a modern, sophisticated property that is sure to drive up the cost for any prospective buyers. The wrong color, however, can have the opposite effect. Here are a few exterior colors that will help you boost curb appeal.

  • Stark White: White is the new tan when it comes to exterior painting. White paint is great at making any home feel more modern and clean. It stands out even more when paired with dark black trim. The only downside of this paint color is that it requires a special level of care. Cleaning is important with any home, however, it is even more important in an environment like Castle Rock.
  • Soft, Welcoming Yellow: A tried and true classic, yellow will make potential buyers feel happy. The only caveat is that going too bright can overwhelm the eye. Pale yellow and white trim is a classic house that is sure to sell quickly.
