Kerb Appeal : How to Make Your Home Stand Out

Get creative with your windows

Windows are arguably one of the most important aspects of any home. Not only do they let in light and keep your home secure, they can insulate and protect against the cold. They also come a variety of styles with countless accessories to help you make an impression and increase your kerb appeal. From casement windows to bay windows, french windows to sash windows, the possibilities are almost limitless. You can choose various glazing styles and even use decorated glass to give your home a timeless charm. Once you’ve chosen the right windows, how about some window boxes or hanging flowers? Both can bring colour and traditional charm to your home. Even your choice of blinds, nets or curtains can influence your home’s kerbside appeal during the day. Decorate your windows both inside and out and you’ll find more than enough ways to shake up your home’s exterior.

Don’t underestimate symmetry

Symmetry is please to the eye and very easy to achieve, particularly if you live in a detached property. The use of carefully place plant pots and hanging baskets, lighting such as lanterns and other outdoor decorations can all help. Make your front door the very heart of everything, so that when visitors approach your home everything is nicely balanced on both sides. They may not realise it, but there’ll be something about the symmetry that resonates and gives off a good impression.

There are countless ways to improve the outside attractiveness of your home, from installing new fixtures like windows and doors to simply rearranging the front garden or adding a touch of green.
