Read to the end to discover 5 ways you can customize and remodel to boost curbside appeal. 

THINK IN SYMMETRY

Symmetry is beautiful to the beholder and draws the eye in. It is no different when it comes to your house. Look at your front elevation and consider how to create symmetry around the front door. One way to add symmetry is to build a walkway that extends on either side of your doorway. You can also add symmetrical lighting that frames your entrance.

Consider constructing a symmetrical archway or columns to flank each side of your entrance for an aesthetically pleasing curbside appeal. 

UPDATE SHUTTERS AND TRIM TO ADD CHARACTER

Consider updating or adding shutters or trim to boost character and personality. Dark-colored or black trim is still on-trend. Metallic-colored trim is also trendy and adds a playful vibe to the facade of your home. Consider mixing textures for an even richer look that will add volumes of curb appeal.

UPGRADE RAILINGS

Consider upgrading your porch or step railings. Use quality wood for this upgrade since railings can deteriorate quickly. Remember stoop railings get used often. A professional like the ones at Creative Home Designs can help you choose a railing that fits beautifully with your home’s style and aesthetics.

If you live in an historic home, our professionals can also locate a builder skilled in historical renovation who can replicate your home’s existing railings.

TILE OR REPAINT YOUR PORCH OR STOOP

Repainting your porch is a quick and easy way to add curb appeal to your home, but if you want to elevate your porch or stoop a step further, consider tiling your stoop for a touch of sophistication. Choose a quality tile that is long-lasting and easy to clean. Opt for a professional application if you don’t think you can do a solid job yourself. Have your home designer help you choose a tile that will compliment the style of your home.

APPLY STONE VENEER

While re-veneering your entire home in a material like stone would be an extremely costly upgrade, adding stone veneer accents can shine up your home and add valuable curb appeal while boosting your home’s resale value. Ask your home designer where it might look good to add a stone veneer. Some popular options for the application of stone veneers are along the bottom of your home’s elevation or the bottom of columns.
