How To Keep Up Curb Appeal During The Winter Months

Once December rolls around, cutting the grass may no longer seem like a top priority especially since the lawn mower may be in hibernation, so it’s still important to keep your home’s outdoor appearance looking great throughout the winter season. 

Here are some cool ideas to help improve your cold weather curb appeal:

• Add a splash of color: Once all the leaves have fallen, the outdoors starts to feel a bit drearier and less energetic. You can liven up your surroundings by adding in a splash of color to the focal point of your home – your front door. You can add a festive wreath or take it a step further and add a fresh coat of bright paint – either way you’re sure to make your space stand out!

• Shine some light: While decorations and bright colored icicle lights may be novel and fun, they tend to take away from the natural beauty and design of your home. To highlight some of your houses’ best features, consider adding a few spotlights to shine on the exterior, while adding in a few simple white holiday lights to glow from the windows. As the days get darker, your house will be a vision of light for people driving by – and you never know, your next buyer might be one of them!

• Incorporate garden accessories: Your greenery may die in the frigid winter months, but lively garden accessories and ornaments will shine on no matter what the temperature drops to. Those bright colored metallic balls will reflect any light that hits them, creating a dramatic, yet elegant effect that will be sure to make your home sparkle.
