There’s much to love about a good-lookin’ front of house. For one thing, it simply makes arriving home all the more enjoyable. It’ll also have a positive impact on your property’s value, too, which is always nice even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon.

There’s no shortage of ways to give your home’s exterior the love and attention it deserves, and not all of them require significant amounts of time, effort, or money. In fact, many homeowners will find that they can significantly improve their property’s front just by making a few minor adjustments.

If you’ve got some time on your hands and want to easily boost your home’s front, then take the following tips on board.

A Lick of Fresh Paint

A lick of fresh paint is a tried and tested way to quickly spruce up any part of your home, and that includes the front of your property. Of course, what you actually give a fresh lick will depend on your infrastructure. You can go a long way towards beautifying your home’s front by painting the fence and door, for example. Don’t have a fence or a door that can be painted? You can always paint the front of your house — that, admittedly, is not quite as straightforward or easy, since you’ll need to hire a pro team, but the upgrade it’ll provide for your property’s front means that it can be well worth the investment.

Deep Cleaning and Tidying Up

The front of a property can quickly become forgotten about, especially during the colder months when most of us simply run from the car into the warmth of the interior part of the home. As such, being overlooked can result in the front of the home becoming a little unkempt and cluttered. An easy fix is to remove anything that doesn’t belong there, keep any trash cans out of sight, and hire a pressure washing company to blast any dirt and debris that has accumulated on your driveway. Those three steps alone, all of which are extremely straightforward to do/organize, can have a noticeable impact on the quality of your front of house.

Add Exterior Lighting

Subtle exterior lighting is an affordable, effective way to make your front of house look significantly better. Plus, it just helps to make arriving home late at night feel that little bit safer. As with all things, the sky’s the limit when it comes to the outdoor lighting you choose to install, but don’t feel obliged to go big. Even a few low-level lights can have an impact.

Routinely Trim Bushes and Trees

Finally, if you’ve taken all of the above tips on board yet still feel that your yard feels a little off, then take a look at your yard’s trees and gardens. Could they do with a tidy up? Sticking to a regular pruning schedule will help to prevent things from becoming a little overgrown and unkempt. You can think of it as a regular haircut that helps to keep standards high.
