It’s never a bad time to boost your home’s curb appeal. Painting exterior accents is one of the easiest ways to transform your humble home into the talk of the town. You can go big or small – as long as your accent is thoughtfully chosen and precisely painted, you’re sure to enhance your home’s curb appeal.
Add Some Color to Your Entryway
Your entryway, which includes your front door and its frame, is what welcomes guests into your home. It’s also the most visible part of your home from the street. Applying a fresh coat of paint to your front door is an easy way to create a more welcoming and attractive home entrance. If your home is a lighter shade, make your door a contrasting dark color, or vice versa.
Splash Some Color on Your Roof
Roof painting isn’t always common, but when it’s done well, it’s sure to give your home the “wow” factor you’re seeking. Just be sure to choose a color that’s in the same color family as your home’s current exterior. Many roof coatings double as a protective layer against the elements, like the harsh sunlight here in the Phoenix metro area, making roof painting a functional enhancement in addition to being an aesthetic improvement.
Stain Your Concrete and Patio
In many cases, traditional concrete slabs are drab. Staining your front patio, walkway or driveway a subtle earth tone like tan, terra-cotta or a shade of green to match the hue of your siding is a unique way of making your home truly stand out from your neighbors’. Acid-based concrete stains come in many colors, so your options are plentiful.
Window Frames
Window frames and shutters are essentially blank canvases when it comes to exterior accenting. Newer shutters, which are often made of vinyl or plastic, can be easily painted with virtually any color. You can even choose to paint your shutters the same color as your door if you want to make a more dramatic impact, just so long as everything matches your siding.
Consider a Whole-House Paint Job
Sometimes a small accent isn’t enough, or it sparks your interest in trying a larger project. In those instances, adding a fresh coat of paint to your home’s siding could be the best way to revitalize your home. In many cases, freshly painted siding will add immediate resale value if you choose a more neutral color that appeals to a wide range of buyers.
