We’ve talked many times before about how important curb appeal is. However, the winter months can leave us a little dumbfounded as to how we can keep our home appealing to passersby. Needless to say, dormant shrubbery and brown grass aren’t a home’s best look. Instead of completely giving up on your home’s outer beauty during the winter months use these tips to keep its curb appeal alive.
Shovel that snow! As beautiful as a snow-covered lawn is, when trying to sell your home it’s important that all your home’s features are still visible. Shoveling off sidewalks and driveways will accomplish this. Also, for the sake of your roof’s structural integrity keep it snow-free as well.
Don’t let Christmas decor overstay its welcome. As much as we all want to stay in the spirit of Christmas for as long as possible, when the holiday season is over pack up the twinkling lights and lawn décor.
Not all flowers die off in the winter. Winter blooming flowers can help add a pop of color and greenery where it’s needed most. Your local home improvement store will be able to help you pick out the most cold hardy plants.
Even in the winter months you can take on small improvement projects. Paint the front door, add new hardware, dress up your front porch and replace that old rusted mailbox. Wherever you see an opportunity for improvement, make it happen!
