10 Ideas to Increase Curb Appeal

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Roundup® For Lawns.

In California, the sun is out and we are all over our Spring projects!  This year we are planning a lot of outdoor projects including a new fence, updated landscaping, touching up our grass (now that CA is finally out of the drought) and addressing this ugly side yard section that has rocks and weeds and doesn’t look great.  I am so excited to work on the curb appeal of our home and I have partnered with Roundup® For Lawns to feature 10 easy ideas to increase the curb appeal for your home.

I hope these ideas inspire and motivate you to tackle your own Spring curb appeal projects.

Consider updating the light fixtures on the porch and around the house.  Quality light fixtures make a world of difference- a pendant light can be a gorgeous addition to your porch or add interest with lanterns.  

Add a pop of color to the front of your home via a freshly painted front door, new flowers or brightly colored outdoor furniture and pillows. The American flag is a great touch as well.

Try upgrading the look of your garage door by adding inexpensive hardware.  Click here for details.

Window boxes are such a simple addition to the exterior of a home and create huge impact. Another option is large planters or planter boxes filled with flowers around windows or the front door.

Hide an unsightly AC unit or garbage cans behind a screen- DIY instructions here.

Consider painting cement stairs or staining a porch for a clean, fresh look.

Remove weeds, overgrown bushes or plants and address any issues with the lawn.  A well cared for lawn can make any home appear instantly more welcoming. Roundup has has been the #1 weed killing brand for over 40 years.  Roundup For Lawns have several specially formulated products that can be used on a lawn to kill weeds.  Find the formula best suited to the grass in your area at local retailers.

Landscape lighting can also make a dramatic difference in the curb appeal of a home.  Lanterns on the porch, twinkle lights on the trees or accent lighting on a walkway are great ways to add a magical glow to your home.

Can you add a fence to the front of your home or update/paint/stain an existing fence?  A white picket fence can frame the exterior of a home and make a yard look much larger.

Considering adding simple shutters in a contrasting color to your home to add charm and interest to builder grade windows.  Simple DIY here.

I’d love to hear what projects you plan to tackle this Spring.
