First Impressions Count: 5 home Improvements that Boost Kerb Appeal

Whether you are thinking of moving in the near future, or simply want to return home to a property to be proud of, we have a selection of ideas that will help to boost kerb appeal, and those that will give your home a new lease of life.

New front door

Number one on the list of home improvements that will really make your home "pop" is a new, colourful front door. Whether you choose a classic white or black door, heritage colour like cream or grey, or a bold colour like this stunning red door - making the switch to a brand new entrance door will certainly turn heads.

Made from the latest high performance materials, composite doors feature a distinct frame and Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) skin - this makes for impressive thermal performance, weatherproofing and security; ideal for a front door that looks stylish too!

A fresh lick of paint (or render!)

One of the simplest ways to give your home a new lease of life, and to enhance kerb appeal is to paint it! A good quality paint will stay looking good for years - it is worth investing in good quality options if you want it to be cost-effective.

Equally as important, if your rendering is looking slightly worse for wear, it is definitely worth updating this. It is sometimes the smallest changes that can enhance kerb appeal the most - don't skim over factors such as unsightly rendering, plastering, or brickwork.

Garden landscaping

When you hear 'kerb appeal' you may instantly think of solid structures. But don't forget your exterior spaces.

Effective garden landscaping can work magic for increasing kerb appeal. And it can be as simple as laying down turf or adding gravel - anything that tidies up the aesthetic of your garden, and makes it easier to maintain.

A new roofline

Believe it or not, updating your fascias, soffits, and general roofline can seriously improve the overall aesthetic of your home - and ease drainage issues too.

Think of the roofline like the border of your house - you wouldn't leave the border of a painting unfinished, so treat your house in the same way!

Coloured window frames

These days, windows certainly don't have to be white! Reputable home improvement companies will offer a wide selection of colours, making it easy for your to add a splash of creativity to your home, and make it far more aesthetically pleasing.

You will be able to choose between subtle creams, pastel greens and blues and much bolder colours. The choice is up to you!
