Paint Your Home’s Exterior This Spring

So, you're are considering painting your home this spring. a fresh coat of paint can be a serious upgrade for our home. When properly applied, new paint on a home’s exterior should last for close to 15 years, as long as you use top-quality materials, apply them with care, and, most important, prepare all surfaces.

First impression


If you're looking to upgrade the look of your home, you have many options. For example, you could repaint your exterior a new color or add some greenery to liven up your yard. Upgrading the exterior of your home is an easy way to leave a great first impression for potential home buyers.


Paint your exterior a new color


The most cost-effective way to update the exterior of your home is with paint. As you consider different colors, keep in mind that paint can make or break the curb appeal of your house. If you choose a color that clashes with the architecture of your home, it could make it look dated and unappealing from afar--and even from up close!


A good rule of thumb is to choose a shade that complements rather than contrasts with what's already there: if there are brown shutters on all four sides of your house, for example, choose white or another neutral color for painting them as opposed to black or red (unless this was already part of its design). Choosing complementary colors will help highlight whatever architectural details are already present while downplaying any flaws in them.


Add some greenery to your yard


Add some greenery to your yard. Plants and trees can help improve the look of your home, but they also have a lot of other benefits. They can reduce noise pollution, increase air quality, and even make your home more energy efficient by providing shade during hot summer days.


If you're looking for a way to decorate the exterior of your house without spending too much money or time on renovations that may not last long anyway (like painting), adding some greenery might be just what you need!


Add modern trellises with flowers and greenery to your yard


If you're looking for a way to add some color and life to your yard, consider adding a modern trellis. This can be done in any of the four seasons, but it's especially beautiful during spring when all of those flowers are blooming.


If you want to add a modern trellis to your front yard, make sure that it faces toward where people will be walking by so they can see it easily from the street or sidewalk. You might also want a bench next to it so that people can sit down while admiring their new addition!


If you want one in back of your house, try putting them near windows so they'll get some light at night (or even better--put them right outside!)


Upgrading the look of your home can be as simple as picking a new paint color or hanging some new curtains, but it can also be more involved such as adding an outdoor kitchen or other upgrades that are tailored to you and your family's needs.

If you're looking for ways to make your yard feel more like an extension of the indoors, consider adding some greenery. This will help soften the overall appearance of the space while also improving its functionality by providing shade from the sun during warmer months and shelter from cold winds in winter months. You'll find lots of options available at local nurseries--from flowering trees like magnolias or dogwoods to evergreen shrubs like rhododendrons and viburnums--so don't hesitate in asking questions about what might work best for your yard!
