Clean up

Clean up the area around the house. Remove litter if there’s any, get rid or hide away of tools and things you don’t use everyday. The house will suddenly stand out and look clean and tidy. Wash the windows and mop the porch and it will look even better.

Mow the Lawn

Keep the lawn clean from weed and cut even. It will give the front yard extra appeal. Rake leaves and trim bushes or trees. Trimming will give them and the house extra clean and well-groomed look. Also keep other greenery in check by removing weeds and trimming it if needed.

Lighting

Outdoor lighting can make a difference even during the day when it’s not in use. Opt for creative outdoor lanterns that match your house. They don’t have to be expensive just attractive and suit the character of a house.

Go Further

If the paint is faded and cracked the house may lose its appeal but if you are ready to invest you can change the color scheme and give the house a whole new look. If the paint is intact but something’s missing try to paint the door some bold color or replace it if it got worn out.
