If you are wondering what adds the most curb appeal to the front of your home, you’re certainly not alone. The quest to beautify our homes all too often leads us to overlook the very aspect that first caught our attention: the exterior. To some extent, it’s a case of out of sight, out of mind, plus it’s tough to prioritize it over more glamorous projects that perhaps offer a greater feel-good factor or are more of a necessity, such as a new kitchen. But, in the long term, devoting attention to the façade of your house can reap both aesthetic and practical benefits.

‘Your chosen front yard landscaping, front door and porch ideas can say so much about the occupants: The entrance is the first point of contact for you, your visitors and the interiors that lie within,’ says designer Monique Tollgard, founder, Tollgard Design.

So whether you’re thinking about selling your home, or simply want to make some exterior home improvements for your own enjoyment, adding curb appeal is often an inexpensive way to make your house look nicer, more expensive – and boost its value.

Selling a home in the summer can be difficult, but it is certainly not impossible. Summer is usually a joyous time. However, one of the most crucial drawbacks of trying to sell your home in summer is the fact that people tend to purchase properties in spring more than in summer. Nevertheless, the trick of selling your property in summer is to present it in the greatest light possible. That is why staging can play an essential role in selling your home. Fortunately, the summer can be a great time to get creative and make your home stand out to potential buyers. There are many fun and inviting ideas to incorporate summer into home staging.

1. Use vivid colors

When it comes to decorating or staging a property, color is crucial. Color may influence the overall ambiance of a home and the feelings of visitors or buyers. To begin, you might want to stick to neutral colors. The use of neutral hues allows other aspects of your home to become emphasized. Neutralizing the décor will allow potential buyers to imagine how they will decorate it. After neutralizing the interior, you might want to introduce some charm. You can opt for white walls. Moreover, you might add brightly-colored furniture items to bring the summer vibes. There are many bright trendy colors that are perfect for summer.

2. Focus on the entrance

First and foremost, adding some sparkle to your entrance might attract potential buyers. The advantages of staging your front door are various. Namely, it doesn’t require much time or money. You might want to give them that warm feeling from the very time your potential buyers enter the house. The first impression is always crucial, so make sure to make a good one.
