Does Your Home Lack Curb Appeal?
When you look at your home from the outside, do you think it’s attractive? If not, don’t despair—increasing your home’s curb appeal can be fairly easy. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we’ll be happy to offer some tips. Read on!
Create an Arresting Focal Point
The focal point is what draws the eye. Often, the front door is already the natural focal point, so give your door some love—buy a brand-new statement door or give a pop of new color to your existing door. You can also change out the handle—you might be surprised at how easily new hardware changes the overall look. Decorate your door with a wreath, and consider changing it out with the seasons. Finally, take into account how your home looks at night and how the focal point looks when it’s dark out. Adding or improving your outdoor lights can quickly impact your home’s curb appeal. Consider getting new porch or garage light fixtures, and think about landscape lighting as well. Updating these features can add a level of safety while literally brightening the nighttime look of the house.
Accessorize the Space
Sometimes, it’s the little things that increase the overall look. Consider updating your mailbox and house numbers. Add or replace flower boxes, planters, or garden areas. Be sure that all plant growth (bushes, flowers, and trees) is appropriately trimmed, weeded, and cared for.
Tidy Up Your Windows
If all of your front-facing windows have different window treatments, you might have a jumbled, inconsistent appearance. But you don’t have to get all the same treatments to fix that issue. Instead, check out the products from Hunter Douglas that a common backing—either white or neutral—so that they look the same from the outside no matter what they look like inside each room. These products include Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Silhouette® Window Shadings, Pirouette® Window Shadings, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, and more.
