Wondering how you can make your home stand out, but in a good way? Here are three unique upgrades that will help you add massive curb appeal to your home.
- Install Stone Veneer
A curb appeal trend that has been surging in popularity is the application of stone veneer to a home’s exterior. Stone veneer is especially effective when placed around your principal entrances, turning them into attractive focal points. Some stone veneer around your front door, as well as on the walls surrounding your garage door can really make these features pop. Consult expert stone fabricators Mequon to select the veneer that looks best for your unique home.
- Plant Floral Borders
Create areas full of greenery, texture and color by planting floral borders along your property lines. Planting floral borders is a way to instantly distinguish your property from the rest of the neighborhood. Use a combination of bulbs, annuals and herbaceous plants that will give these flowerbeds year-round appeal.
- Add Outdoor Lighting
Whether indoors or outdoors, the right lighting can really showcase the hard work and care that you’ve put into your home. A combination of lighting elements will really show off both the architectural features and the natural features of your home’s exterior. Mount downlighting fixtures on your tree trunks and point them downward to create the effect of dappled light. Use uplighting fixtures to bathe exterior walls in warm light and to highlight your lower-growing plants. Select fixtures that accept 2700K warm white LED bulbs for the softest look, and as an added bonus, these bulbs are very energy-efficient.
Good curb appeal not only makes your home look better, it also increases its value and encourages your neighbors to do the same, too. Follow these tips and you’ll create lasting curb appeal that shows your pride of ownership.
