Sure, your home is your castle. However, you also want it to be the envy of your neighbors – at least a little bit. Fortunately, there are tons of things you can do that will boost your home's curb appeal that don't have to take a lot of time or money.

Install Privacy Panels

It might seem like a bit of an oxymoron to suggest that you increase privacy in order to make the exterior of your home more appealing; however, this isn't the case. Take your fence, for example. If you have a chain link fence, installing privacy panels makes your property seem a little more exclusive.

However, more importantly, it blocks out some of the chaos that typically occurs in the backyard. If you have little ones that leave toys all around or some other issues, these privacy panels can block this out and keep your property looking clutter free. Don't forget to also add the panels to the fence's gate for even greater privacy.

Dress the Porch

If your front porch is bare, simply adding some furniture and other accents can add instant curb appeal. Providing you have an average size space to work with, a couple of chairs and a small side table or a bench is typically sufficient furniture wise. You can then personalize the space by adding pillows or a small accent piece to place on the top of the table. If you have a large space, you may need to add more.

When choosing furniture, try to take cues from the trim colors around your home. For instance, if your home is white and the doors and window shutters are black, choosing black furniture will offer a more uniform and cohesive look.

Add Dimension

Adding dimension to your lawn and outdoor space is also a great way to enhance the look of your home. One way to do this is to install your landscaping in tiers. For instance, you could create an incline where you have a beautiful flower bed on the lower level and shrubs or bushes on the upper level.

If you don't really want to change your landscaping, you can also achieve this by incorporating accent colors to your home's exterior. Using the same white house example, with black shutters, rather than a black door, consider painting the door in an accent color like yellow or red to create a dimensional effect.

If you want to enhance your home, the sky is the limit. Be creative and incorporate ideas that are complementary to your property. Contact a fence company, like Morris Fence Co, for more help
