Affordable Ideas for Boosting Your Home’s Curb Appeal

So you want to update your home’s exterior but don’t have the budget for a full makeover? Get easy affordable ideas to boost your curb appeal in this Lowe’s video:

1. Hide unsightly things around your home. Hanging a hose will make it more accessible and attractive. Build a basic screen with a few pieces of lumber to hide air conditioners and trash cans. Use pre-made panels for an even faster fix which is also removable if you change your mind.

2. Showcase your windows with shutters. Whether you build them from scratch or buy them pre-made, they provide a finished feel with styles to suit any home. Add extra trim to complete their look.

4. Add trim to your door. Bulk it up or add embellishments to really make it pop.

5. For a dramatic improvement, stone veneer can be added to stairs, columns, posts or foundations. For the DIYer, specially designed pieces can be easily mounted with screws or adhesive, bringing a high end look to any exterior.

6. Make your home look more welcoming by installing window boxes filled with flowers. They can be simple or decorative, and you can buy them pre-made or build them yourself.

7. Update your garage by painting a pattern, adding hardware or using a kit to create the look of carriage windows.
