Here are some ideas to guarantee fresh curb appeal and a memorable home appearance.

Create a warm welcome with a bright door in a colorful shade. Adding a geometric rug softens the look of a stone porch while an Adirondack chair set sends a cozy greeting.

A well-manicured front lawn with lots of plants and flowers will instantly create a Washington home with a pretty façade. Potted and hanging plants are a best bet as they create lots of visual vegetation and draw the eye around the property. Make sure bushes and large trees are well-trimmed to maintain a polished exterior.

A front walkway that is crumbling or in disrepair will reflect poorly on the condition and state of a home. Maintaining a brick footpath will ensure that guests can easily navigate their way to the front door and have a designated path for leaving that doesn’t involve stomping through any garden or grass.

A rickety mailbox can spoil the appearance of an otherwise masterfully maintained home. In order to ensure that the exterior looks fresh, it’s a prudent idea to update the mailbox or add fresh paint. Also, additional flowers or a burst of botanic goodness can create a more glamorous home exterior.
