5 Ways to Improve the Exterior of Your Home
The exterior of your home is extremely important - it’s where the first impressions are made. The right enhancements can significantly increase your home’s appeal.
So, your home is a bit dull and you’re looking to change it slightly. It’s sometimes a little difficult to decide on the right changes to make. So, we’re here to help.
Exterior improvements don’t need to be costly, time consuming, or difficult. They can be simple, easy, and inexpensive. We’ll show you how.
Whether you’re thinking of building your own home or the exterior of your existing property needs a little TLC, here are five easy ways to improve it.
1. External Cladding
Opting for external cladding on your home can add great aesthetic value and give your property instant kerb appeal.
External cladding also improves your property’s thermal efficiency and weather resistance.
Timber cladding is attached to the primary structure of your home and comes in a variety of styles and colours.
International Timber, the UK’S leading importer and distributor of bespoke and sustainable timber, stock a wide range of high quality cladding, so you can be sure to find the most suitable material for your property.
2. A Sheltered Entrance
Is the entrance to your home currently open? Why not opt for a sheltered entrance?
Not only is this great when you’re trying to get through the door on a rainy day, but a sheltered entrance will also add kerb appeal to your home too.
Sheltered entrances create the illusion that your home and garden is bigger than it actually is. They also add definition, to make your home appear modern and stylish.
3. A New Door
The front door is often where the first impressions are made so it’s important to get it right.
Changing your front door can dramatically transform your home’s exterior.
Look for a front door that suits the style of your home and lets in a little more light.
If you’re on a budget, give your existing door a lick of fresh paint. Neutral colours can give your home a sophisticated look.
4. Add a Gate
A low front gate can make even a small garden look big.
Opting for a front gate will make your home look more appealing.
Front gates are considered an important factor for security, so you’ll add value to your property too.
5. Outdoor Wall Lighting
Make sure your home gives the right first impression. Lighting can make your home feel warm and welcoming.
Installing outdoor wall lighting to your property can change the entire feel of it.
Spotlights pointing both up and down are a very popular and modern choice. They also increase safety and security too.
You can even opt for solar-powered wall lights. They’re easy to install and don’t cost anything to run.
Lighting not only improves entrance appeal but also expands your outdoor living space too.
