Read to the end for 5 great ideas to boost curb appeal in 2022.
ADD AN INVITING SEATING AREA OR PERGOLA
A gorgeous and inviting seating area or pergola in the front of the home can add a major wow factor. Having an out-of-this-world seating area, pergola, or covered porch area in the front of the home can help you attract homebuyers that are looking for the lifestyle of relaxing evenings spent in this area.
A pergola allows natural light, extends your living space, and amplifies the amount of time you’ll be able to spend outdoors. A great pergola adds warmth and personality to your living space. You can personalize and decorate your pergola with light fixtures and even a ceiling fan if the pergola is large enough.
UPDATE GARAGE DOORS
Weathered garage doors can age and date a home. Whether you choose to replace your existing garage doors with a modern garage door or even a smart garage door is up to you! You can also opt to powerwash and apply a fresh coat of paint to your garage doors if you aren’t looking to allocate much of your remodeling budget here.
Many modern homebuyers love the look of modern glass and aluminum garage doors. Garage doors made with glass or frosted glass panels offer a unique curb appeal option at night because when the lights are on inside your garage, your whole home will glow softly from the light filtering through the windows. It’s a very cool effect. Before choosing glass panels for your garage door, make sure they fit in with your home’s aesthetic.

ADD IMPECCABLE LANDSCAPING AND LARGE WINDOWS
An impeccably landscaped yard will add tons of appeal from the curb. If you are replacing or updating windows, large windows are still popular with today’s homebuyers. They are also opting for windows with black trim and wraparound windows are becoming quite desirable.
Wraparound windows allow you to see out of an entire corner of a room. Consider updating your windows and then follow it up with flawless landscaping that will highlight your home’s exterior features.
ADD POPS OF STONE OR DARK BRICK
Adding pops of stone or dark brick to your home’s exterior can add a layer of security and eye-popping curb appeal. Natural elements such as stone, brick, or even wooden accents can help make the home look purer in its surroundings.
You want your home to stand out from its backdrop, but adding a few sustainable and natural materials will help it fit in comfortably and help your home look less distracting or out of place.
ADD BOLD STANDING SEAM AWNINGS
Black, slate, or dark gray standing seam awnings add a feel of stately security to your home. Black details and design elements are popular and make a bold choice, especially when applying to awnings that match the black trim of today’s trending window choices.
Black trim and awnings can help offset a home from looking too flat in the front. Standing seam awnings are thicker and longer, and will highlight the beauty of your window treatments and doors if designed thoughtfully.
