Simple Tips to Enhance Your Curb Appeal
Go green; one of the most apparent and impactful ways to boost curb appeal is adding fresh greenery and flowers.
Well, Manicure Lawn. Lawn care is a big part of maintaining curb appeal. Regular maintenance for your lawn by mowing, raking off leaves, pulling weeds, and well watering is essential.
Make your door pop. Boost curb appeal by having your front door stand out instead of blend in.
Be Creative with Lights. Nothing is welcoming about a dark entryway. A sconce or hanging pendant light by your front door will add a fresh look. Also, clean off all cobwebs and debris around outdoor light fixtures, instantly making the space appear brighter and cleaner. Use solar light to light up your front or garage door pathway.
Embrace symmetry. Symmetrical patterns create focal points that are pleasing to look at and instantly make your home look more put together. Achieve the look by matching wall lanterns or plants on either side of your front or garage door.
Incorporate an Above-the-Garage-Door Arbor or Trellis
Arbors or trellises are decorative accents that transform the area above garage doors and exterior walls for added character and beauty. Elevating a home’s curb appeal, arbors for garage doors add interest with filtered sunlight, provide overhead protection, and soften architectural lines.
Adding a trellis or Arbor is easy; you can hang flowering vines as decorations. Consider a beautiful combination of yellow climbing hydrangeas and Red Trumpet Vine or White Star jasmine for an eye-catching effect that will add curbside appeal to your home.
Greenery
Your yard should complement your home and garage in color, style, scale, and materials. Trees can frame your house and garage, but it is essential not to have them conceal or overwhelm your garage door. Also, certain plants can help ward off pesky bugs in spring and summer.
Landscaping ideas for enhancing your garage structure:
- Install plant boxes on garage window sills.
- Lay stones or bricks down to create a path around the garage.
- Choose plants that require little to no maintenance. Some plants that look great year-round with little maintenance include Ornamental Grasses, Lilies, and Annual or Perinal Flowers. Or California Native Plants.
- Place birdhouses among the flowers and other plants.
Add Lighting
Garages are the main entry for the people who live in the home. They also serve as accessible entries for burglars who want to get inside. Adding lighting will automatically draw attention to your home at night. Using light in your garage landscaping project improves the aesthetic appearance of the garage and your safety.
Add hanging lanterns and lamps to your carriage-style garage door or sconces with various metal tones and clean lines to accentuate your door’s contemporary appearance. If glass is incorporated into your door design, you might also consider lighting your garage exterior from within the garage.
Add motion sensor lights that turn on in response to movement that serves a dual purpose. When someone approaches your garage at night, the lights alert you of their presence. They also provide safe coverage for you when entering or exiting the garage at night.
Another option is lighting along your driveway, guiding eyes toward your home. Lights lining your driveway give you a Warm Welcome Home feeling. Whether you use driveway lanterns or subtle light stakes, accent lights to spotlight plants or architectural features provide an instant glamour to your garage.
