Modernising the exterior of your home can feel like a daunting task. Where do you start? Firstly write a list of the areas you would like to update and the budget you have to do each area.
Upgrading Planting
Borders and conifers can give your property an outdated appearance. To get a sleek modern design consider purchasing cubed planters in stone or stone effect planted with simple planting such as cordylines. Greys and silver shades of planters give your front garden a modern feel.
Lawns
Lawns with sharp edges, and lush green complement a modern planting area. If your lawn has seen better days considering either laying new turf or invest in quality artificial grass.
House exterior
If your home is painted, refreshing it or changing the colour to a pale grey will give your property a lift. Also purchasing a new modern door number can change the whole look of a property built removing that flower design and replacing it with an acrylic and metal number
Driveways
Cleaning driveways are inexpensive, however, if you wish to upgrade your driveway factor in the cost of doing so. Tarmac driveways are cheaper than block paved driveways, however, block paved driveways give the frontage that modern edge.
Windows and front door
Replacing windows and doors is another expensive project. Depending on the age of your current windows and doors, replacing them can help to reduce heat loss and add value to your property. Modern houses are currently using coloured double glazed windows, such as dark grey frames. These windows are currently on-trend. As for front doors, there are many styles on the market which are modern and help bring your property bang on-trend. Want your property to stand out as that amazing house on the street? Then go for it and start planning that change today.
