Enthusiasm for Curb Appeal

Sometimes a relationship that never requires any dressing up can feel a little blah? Even if you aren't trying to impress your neighbors or entice a buyer, your relationship with your house can always benefit from a little sprucing up. But what gives a home that allure and pizzaz known as curb appeal? Here are a few simple keys to presenting your home's assets in the most alluring way.The most important element is your architecture. A symmetrical home with some attractive details makes creating curb appeal easy. Luckily Wagener Terrace is loaded with interesting structures. Sometimes a good pressure wash will brighten your facade, but if paint is a necessity try to accentuate your symmetry with crisp color choices. Pick a contrast color for emphasizing your best features, including your front door. The front door itself gets the most attention in the curb appeal handbook. Color choice is very important, don't make the mistake of thinking any attention getting shade is a good idea.Landscaping is probably the quickest and most often neglected element of curb appeal. Justa few flowers can sometimes make all the difference. For a more serious overhaul add some containers, window boxes, sidewalks and sod. Before digging in you might want to consult an expert. If you decide to add ornamentation such as gnomes, jockeys or fountains, at least try to make them size appropriate for your yard and home.Finally add some personalization. A really interesting mailbox or a flag adds a sense that a home is cherished. Sometimes just the house numbers in painted tile or vintage brass can create a focal point. Hand made wreaths, bird houses, or a unique shrub might also fit the bill, but be careful! One or two artsy touches add flare, where one too many just looks like junk. Ask your neighbors for feedback when sprucing up, and when confused by conflicting advice, always look for references, we have great professionals in this town!
