Did you know that improving your curb appeal could increase your home's value by up to ten percent?

If you're going to sell your property and make a profit, you need to think about how you can boost your overall curb appeal.

But, you don't have to break the bank to attract home buyers. There are a bunch of simple and easy ways to improve your curb appeal on a budget.

Check out our blog post for our budget ideas for your exterior. Let's get started!

Replace Your Rain Gutters

If your home has faulty gutters, everyone will be able to see from the exterior of your property.

Without working gutters, your home could be at risk of water damage. This won't exactly appeal to any potential home buyers, would it?

It's important to install a rain gutter around your property. However, if you want to really win over other people, then consider more than just functional rain gutters.

We also have a bunch of different colors to make your home stand out from your neighbors. Check out more about how to pick the right color gutters.

Repaint Your Front Door

If you have a badly painted front door, this can swiftly scare off your home viewers. You need to make a good impression from the moment they step up to your house.

That's why giving your home exterior a fresh lick of paint is always a good idea. This can really freshen up the appearance of your home.

But, think carefully about which color to paint your front door. You don't want to put anyone off with a bright pink doorway, for example.

Add More Plants on Your Porch

If you have a porch without anything going on, you should decorate this space with a bunch of plants in pots.

Make sure you clear any mess around this area. If there are existing dead plants, you also need to remove them and replace them with new greenery.

You don't need to be especially adventurous with your plant choices. Stick to plants that are easy to maintain.

Put Down a New Door Mat

What do people first see when they step up to your front door?

They probably look down at your doormat. If this is an old and battered piece of nylon, then you should replace it with a fresher look.

Just spending a few dollars on a new doormat could be the difference to you getting more people inside your property.

Install Outdoor Lighting

If you want to spend a little over your budget, then you could also invest in some outdoor lighting for your porch.

If anyone views your property in the early evenings, they'll be especially impressed by the stunning porch lighting you have installed.

This makes sitting outside in your yard a much better experience as you watch the world go by.
