Sprucing Up your Fall Curb Appeal this Season
Create a Fall Eden
Just because it’s the Fall season doesn’t mean that the planters and gardens have to go. In fact there are certain plants that bloom during the winter season, such as poinsettias. These are great holiday plants that you can place around the mailbox or along the walkway. Plus there are some great planters that you can put in plant boxes near the windows.

Replace Worn and Used
Survey the outdoors of your home and see what needs some TLC. For instance; check the gutters, wall-mounted mailboxes, down-spots, and walkways to make sure that there in good upkeep. If they are looking a little rusty and worn down then chances are you should replace them or clean them up. For the gutters, you can go with vinyl which are easy to maintain and no painting or a more classic look with the copper but it’s more costly and more to maintain.
Repaint the Outdated
A quick and simple way to add some gusto to your curb is with an old trick, painting. A fresh coat of paint to the doors, shutters, trim of the windows and front wall of the house can create a totally different tone and look to the home. Say your home may not have trim or shutters you can easily install some to the exteriors of your home. The shutters can help to control the lighting and ventilation control within your home. This is a maintenance tip that you can updated every few months and keep your home looking healthy.

Light the Outdoors
Like with pretty much anything to do with interiors, the lighting can either make or break a space and the same can be said for the outdoors. Landscape lighting is another way to enhance your outdoor appeal. You can have accent lighting along the walkway, two pendant lights on the doors, or get creative sense it’s getting close to the holidays time for holiday lights around the house or just on the trees and the mailbox.
