4. Install Window Boxes
Few things give off a down-home country charm like shuttered windows and vibrant flower boxes. Best of all, these elements provide you with the joy of gardening, even if you live in a third-story walkup.
Once you’ve installed the containers, planting becomes a fun project. Use a variety of trailing greens for the background and the most vivid hues available in your floral selection.
5. Trim Overhanging Shrubbery
Did you know that thieves seek out cover when they’re trying to break in, often in 60 seconds or less? Keeping your landscaping tidy doesn’t only enhance your curb appeal, but it also protects your belongings from miscreants.
If you want to go the extra mile for security, invest in plants that have thorns, such as roses or bougainvilleas.
6. Touch Up Your Paint
If your shutters are peeling and cracked, you risk your home looking like a haunted house. Even if you rent, touch-ups go a long way. Chances are your landlord or contractor left some extra paint in storage, so go over those nicks you made when moving in your master bed frame.
You can paint the doors and shutters of an average-sized home in mere hours, and the right hue can completely transform the appearance of your property. And your place will look great.
7. Clear Away the Clutter
If your lawn features items scattered all around, your property will look unkempt. Invest in both in and outdoor storage solutions so that you have a place for everything.
You can refinish old crates to create patio storage that hides away small objects and holds your beverages. Inside, invest in drawer organizers create dividers with paint sticks to house small items like batteries and paper clips. You won’t have to dig through the junk drawer when you need something.
