Add planters: If the front yard of your house looks like a barren desert, then adding some potted plants or tall evergreen bushes like boxwoods or junipers can breathe some life into the whole space. You can also hang small boxes of flowers on the front wall or plant them on your front porch to bring color.

Paint your front door: Painting your front door takes your house to the next level because the door makes the house stand out. It is an easy job, and giving the door a bright look can change your home’s overall outlook. Don’t be afraid to play around with the color and add some brightness to revive your house.

Create/redo your walkway: Having a walkway on your property makes it look more spacious. If you already have one, make sure it’s not broken or cracked. You can redo it by replacing the old slabs with new slabs or flat flagstones and clean them regularly to give a fresh look.

Installing lights: Installing nights on the front porch and the walkway accentuates your house’s best aspects at night time. Make sure to regularly wipe off the dirt and webs from the lights to make the surrounding space look brighter. You can also customize the walkway by adding lanterns to give it a more aesthetic look. Moreover, it secures your home by reducing the number of hiding spots.

Add furniture: You can utilize the outdoor space and install a porch swing or some furniture. By adding antique pieces of furniture with colorful cushions makes your home overflowing with charm. If you have a large front porch, you can create multiple sitting areas to spruce things up.

Upgrade your mailbox: An attractive mailbox alters the overall look of your house. A simple aesthetic mailbox adds an appealing effect to the house’s exterior and gives it a warm look. Whether you add a mailbox near your walkway or front door is entirely up to you!

Add a doormat/wreath: Putting a cheerful doormat in front of the door and hanging a seasonal wreath gives your house a homely and comfortable feeling. A bright doormat is a great way to greet guests. And you can change the wreath based on seasonal changes and always go for something fresh like pine branches or lavender. You can also hang a windchime to welcome in positive energy.

Add wooden shutters: Step up your style game by putting up some eye-catching shutters to give your house a clean and fresh look. You can either go for a minimalist look and add simple wooden shutters or add a splash of color. If you choose to paint them, pick out a paint color that goes well with the surroundings and blends in seamlessly with the greenery that would make your home stand out.

On the whole, you can update the exterior of your house in numerous ways. The outlook and the entry to your home are the focal points of the curb appeal, so you could choose a bold color to paint and add small elements to style your outdoor space. Always remember that the walkway and the front door reflect the entire exterior of your house, so make sure to prop it traditionally or aesthetically as if you are making a grand entry. Creating an instant garden or adding potted plants is an affordable and easiest way to add some charm to your house. You could always install an attractive gate or a small fence around your garden or at the corner of the yard to provide an immediate sense of space. If you are designing your outdoor space to change the atmosphere simply, choose pieces that complement your house’s overall look so it can take your landscape to the next level.
