Did you know that 93% of people judge a property based on its curb appeal? Your home’s outdoor space is the first thing potential homebuyers will see when looking for a property. Nail your exterior design and curb appeal, and you will add massive value to your home – not to talk of making your home more valuable. Various exciting designs have shown up over the years, and 2023 is no exception. These trends will elevate your home’s exterior, making it look modern and fresh. So, are you looking for ways to improve your home’s value this year? Here are some exterior trends that will boost your curb appeal in 2023.
- Create a mixture of wood, metal, and stone.
There’s no rule that your home’s exterior should be all wood, stone, or metal – not when you can mix them up. When done right, this will add visual interest to your property. The most important thing is to ensure that you incorporate one element as your main accent piece. For example, you can use wood in your window sill details and header beams on your porch. Your awnings can be made of metal like aluminium, while you use stone for your siding.
- Utilise your front yard
Consider adding an outdoor sitting area to your front yard, especially if you have a small lot. Doing this will create a homey and family-friendly space that most people find attractive in their concept of ideal homes. And you don’t have to do too much; just add a tiny table with a couple of chairs or a bench. That is enough to turn your small, boring front yard into an inviting or welcoming space. And if your home does not come with a porch in your front yard, add one. A new front porch, a stylish overhung, or any other form of covered entrance will add shelter and serve as an exterior living space while sprucing up your home’s frontage.
- Plant beyond your garden
A garden is a wonderful addition to any home’s exterior space, as it can boost your curb appeal. In fact 67% of homeowners believe a tidy garden is important to increasing curb appeal. But there’s more than one place to add a touch of greenery or floral beauty to your home’s exterior. For example, you can create an extension of your garden by adding some planters to your front stoop or setting boxes of flowers on your windows. Even if you don’t have a traditional garden, these small additions should be enough to boost your curb appeal.
- Create a glass room or add a glass extension to your home
Creating a glass room or adding a glass extension to your home will create a sleek and modernised appearance that will make your home stand out from others in your neighbourhood. Glass rooms provide more natural light, brightening your interior space and making your home more inviting. These extensions will also increase your home’s living space, creating an inviting area to relax and enjoy the sunlight, especially during summer. It will create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, adding to your home’s design and making it more appealing to potential buyers looking for a functional living space. And you can also expect a glass extension to add extra value to your property, making it a worthy long-term investment.
