knob. Make sure that it is of good quality, appropriate for the style
of the house and provides excellent security. Once you’ve met those
basic demands make sure the knob is clean and the finish is in good
condition. Many come with lifetime warranties on the finish, so
having a beaten-down knob is inexcusable!
Your porch light and mailbox can be simple yet high-impact
upgrades. You can replace these for an instant lift to the front of
the house. If your entryway is donned with poor lighting, your
family and guests will thank you for ‘brightening’ the way! This is
a change that is readily noticeable due to proximity to the front door.
Choose outdoor fixtures that complement your home’s style and go
with energy-efficient bulbs to save your wallet from rising energy
costs. A weathered mailbox on a farmhouse may be quaint, but on
a newer or remodeled older home, that usually is not the case! With
so many different styles to choose from, make sure your front door
remains the focal point and the mailbox serves as an accessory to the
home.
Windows are like eyes to the soul of your home. If you can see
right into your house, what’s on the inside is extremely important
to overall curb appeal. You have cleaned and decluttered the rest
of what you see from the curb, so do the same for the inside. If you
can’t clean it, screen it! The same treatment on all the windows seen
from the curb will unify and soften the appearance of the house. If
you have existing drapes, they may look good from the inside but
check the lining that is exposed to the sun and see how it’s holding
up.
Another way to address windows is with tinting. Available in
clear through dark tints, tinting can diminish the world’s view of
your home’s interior. Highly reflective finishes are rather flashy and
thus, a design no-no! Regardless, most brands of tinting will not
only cut the heat, they bock UV light to protect your colors and
make furniture last longer.
With the yard, house and interior addressed you instantly
maximize the overall appeal of your home!
