Whatever your reason for adding some extra kerb appeal to your home, we’ve got you covered. Perhaps you’re moving soon and want to increase the asking price, or maybe there’s a spot if friendly rivalry going on between you and your neighbour. Regardless of your reasoning, bringing some added awe to your exterior is always a good thing. But that isn’t to say you need to break the bank to do so. If you have a few minutes, check out this quick guide and you’ll have the neighbours talking in no time.
Love Your Garden
If you are lucky enough to have your own garden, this one is for you. As an extension of your home and the first things that visitors see, it’s important to remember that a tidy garden can serve as the perfect first impression. So, with regular garden maintenance, you’ll bring a touch of class to your home that’s sure to increase the value. And if you’re not green-fingered, now is as good a time to start as any.
The Front Door
If you want to give your visitors – or prospective buyers – something to talk about, it’s best to set the tone early. A striking front door is a great way to achieve just that. It’s important that the door matches the design of your home because it will give your visitors an idea of what to expect inside. If you already have a period door, it’s maybe worth simply giving this a bit of a refurb. You can replace the hinges, handles or any other fixtures, or give it a nice paint job. If, however, your door isn’t particularly attractive, it might be worth spending the pennies towards a full replacement.
Add Value to Your Home with DIY Shutters
If you’re looking for cheap ways to add value to your home, you could do much worse than bringing some DIY shutters into the equation. In fact, by opting for DIY shutters you could save upwards of 40% against other measure and install services. But how do they add said value? Well, besides looking fantastic, shutters are built to last. In fact, they are installed as a semi-permanent fixture and, given the correct care and maintenance, there’s no reason they can’t last for years, or even decades. In fact, we're so sure of the fact that we give you a 3-year warranty for our wooden shutters and a huge 10-years for faux wood shutters.
