5 Easy Exterior Home Ideas to Update Today

Exterior home ideas can never get old. Updating your curb appeal is essential. Whether you’re preparing to put your home on the market or simply want a change in the look of your home, exterior upgrades are both daunting and exciting tasks. If you’ve recently purchased a home this is the perfect opportunity to create the look that suits your style and if you’re selling an exterior upgrade can net you a bigger profit.
However, knowing where to start can be the biggest problem. Obviously, if something is seriously damaged, like the roof, that should be attended to first but if you’re just ready for a change there are a few great ways to choose your projects and get started.

5 Easy Exterior Home Ideas to Update Today

Transform the look of your home’s exterior with these five tips.

1. Landscaping Ideas are Essential for Curb Appeal

Your home’s yard and the landscaping design are often the first things people notice. Is your grass green and lush? Do you have a beautiful shade tree? Are there flowering plants adorning your front porch? Easily one of the most fun changes to make, a change in landscaping can transform the look of your entire yard.

Consider working with a local lawn care expert to help you keep your water use to a minimum. These experts can recommend various plants and grasses that are drought resistant as well as recommend irrigation systems that use less water.

2. Siding Ideas Can Improve the Architecture of your Home

If your home already has siding it might be time for an upgrade. No matter the quality of the siding material, the elements can cause damage over time and repairs could be necessary. Consult with a siding expert to get a quote and to assess any damage or potential problem area.

If you do need to replace the siding now is the time to make a color or texture change if you wish. Making the change from beige to a beautiful slate gray or brick red can make your home feel brand new.

3. Painting Ideas Can Instantly Give a Boost

While the actual painting of a house is a big job, picking out the colors for your exterior and trim is so much fun. People can spend hours poring over paint websites creating the perfect color combination. Yellow? White? Gray? Blue? The choices and shades are endless.

Be sure to hire a reputable painting contractor for this job. It’s time-consuming and requires precision so it’s best left to the professionals. A general paint job usually only takes a few days so you can enjoy your home’s new look sooner than you think.

4. Improve Exterior Home Ideas with Fencing

Your home’s fence doesn’t have to simply serve as a way to keep your dog in or to keep your children from accidentally wandering off. It can also create a statement and be beautiful to look at while serving the function of a proper fence.

A white picket fence is always a classic, especially when it’s entwined with a beautiful blooming vine. You could also consider a well-built stone fence, especially for the front portion of the yard where it will really get noticed. You can even try the exotic Japanese style fencing complete with a torii, which is a traditional Japanese gate.

5. Decorate your Exterior Home With Flair

Many people only decorate their yards when holidays occur and you should keep doing that but it’s nice to add some flair and a personal touch to your home’s exterior all year around.  Flowers are always a great choice for decoration and there are varieties of flowering plants that can bloom for most of the year, depending on where you live.

But why not consider other items as well? Statuary might sound trite and a bit gaudy, but it can actually enhance the look of the yard as well as being functional, like a bird bath. Consider using Mexican pottery as a flower pot or a half whiskey barrel as a planter. Head to your local estate auction or thrift store and see what types of reclaimed good you can find that will make your home’s exterior really stand out.

People take pride in their homes. Their homes represent a great deal of hard work and sacrifice. Be sure to maintain the upkeep of your home’s exterior, not only for safety purposes but to bring to life what might be an otherwise dull home, and really make it your own.
