Fall is a beautiful season that brings with it crisp, cool air, brilliant foliage, and pumpkin spice everything. It’s also the perfect time to enhance your home’s exterior and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the season and upcomming holidays. Here are some simple and affordable ways to add some fall curb appeal to your home.
1. Add Seasonal Plants and Flowers
A pop of color can make all the difference when it comes to enhancing your home’s exterior. Consider adding plants and flowers that bloom in the fall, such as mums, asters, and pansies. These colorful blooms will instantly add a touch of warmth to your home’s curb appeal, and they’re easy to care for.
2. Install Outdoor Lighting
As the days get shorter, a well-lit exterior can enhance your home’s safety and beauty. Consider installing outdoor lighting along your walkway, up your driveway, and around your home’s exterior. This will enhance the safety of your entryway and make sure that every guest to your home has a safe pathway to enjoy.
3. Clean Your Gutters and Fix Leaky Faucets
Fall is an excellent time to take care of any gutter cleaning and leaky faucet repairs before the winter sets in. Clogged gutters can cause water damage to your home’s foundation, and leaky faucets can cause damage and can be expensive in the long run. Schedule a professional plumber to fix leaky faucets and prevent any unexpected winter plumbing issues.
4. Paint Your Front Door
Your front door is the centerpiece of your home’s exterior, and a fresh coat of paint can easily enhance your curb appeal. Choose a color that compliments your home, and that also works well with the season’s colors. Popular fall colors include rich yellows, oranges, and reds.
5. Decorate with Seasonal Décor
In the fall, pumpkins, hay bales, and wreaths are popular seasonal decorations. Consider adding fall decorations to your front porch, door, and entryway. This is an affordable and easy way to enhance your home’s curb appeal.
6. Pressure Wash your Sidewalk and Driveway
Pressure washing can remove months of dirt and debris buildup from your property’s cement surfaces. This will give your property a fresh and clean look that will enhance your home’s beauty. This simple process can be done in a matter of an afternoon and makes a big impact on the first impression of your home.
7. Upgrade Your Mailbox
Your mailbox is one of the first things someone sees when approaching your home. Consider upgrading your mailbox to a new and modern mailbox that complements the exterior of your home. If you have a traditional postal mailbox, consider adding planters to the sides to add the beautiful seasonal blooms.
