When it comes to selling your home, curb appeal is vital. Even if you’re not selling, itis good to return to a beautiful looking home at the end of a busy day. Is the exterior of your home looking a little tired or uninspiring? If so, here are some handy hints to make your home the most attractive house on the block.

Get your gardening gloves on
If you’re lucky enough to have a front garden, get the most out of it. Get those gardening gloves on and do some weeding and planting. Mow the lawn and add some color and interest. Scatter planters around, and give the fence a coat of paint. Let the garden set the tone for the rest of the house. If you’ve gone for shabby chic or country style interiors, why not fill flower beds with wildflowers? If you’ve got a modern minimalist home, make gravel areas more exciting with a water feature or potted olive trees.
