Add A Wreath For Added Curb Appeal
Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas anymore! A good wreath can increase your curb appeal and adds an inviting personal touch to your front door. Go for one that reflects your personality and complements your front door paint colour. Wreaths are easy to leave on the door all year long – or switch out seasonally like The Pink Dream has done with her cute peony wreath.
Line Your Home With A Hedge
Nothing is more classic than an evergreen hedge lining the front of your house. A well looked after yard is key to boosting your home’s curb appeal. A classic hedge is something that will set your home apart from the rest. You want your home to stand out (in a good way) when people drive down the block.

Create A Clearly Defined Path To The Front Door
Curb appeal is all about creating a visually inviting home. You want people to feel welcome which is why a clearly defined path from the road or driveway to your front door is important. Wether its your friends coming over for a summer BBQ, or the pizza delivery guy on a Friday night – make them feel welcome by establishing a clear path to the front door. Because if theres one thing you don’t want – its people walking across your grass to get inside!
Paint Your House for Increased Curb Appeal
Sometimes you just need an entire exterior overhaul to get your home’s curb appeal up to speed. The good news is you can probably achieve this with a fresh coat of paint!

Incorporate Seating In Your Front Porch Design
The details of this curb appeal tip all come down to the size of your front porch. Some homes have enough room for an entire outdoor living room, while others can only squeeze in a skinny bench. Whatever size your front porch is, you’ll want to incorporate some seating. It makes guests feel welcome and provides a place for muddy shoes to be taken off. I love driving through a neighbourhood and spotting homes that have seating on the front porch. I imagine the people who live there sipping morning coffee as they great neighbours walking by. Especially in those great rocking chairs! Check out more front patio seating ideas here.
Add A Welcome Mat
One of the easiest ways to increase your home’s curb appeal is to add a welcome mat. So simple right? This front door inspiration shot is from Susan. I’m loving the layering door mats, great way to add detail and depth to your front door!
Update Your Home’s Address Numbers
