How to Improve Your Homes Curbside Appeal

To improve your homes curbside appeal install security doors, put up a veranda, plant

garden and put down outdoor pavers.

There are a number of things you can do to improve the look of your home from the front, or

it's curbside appeal. If you are planning on ever selling your home this is something you should

definitely be conscious of doing as it is this first impression that will influence potential buyers

whether or not they will come in and have a better look or make further enquiries. You can

improve your garden, add security doors or security screens to your windows or even build a front

veranda.

Security doors



Security doors do not need to be just a steel door with wire on it to keep out the bugs. There

are many styles of security doors, some which incorporate good looks into their secure design.

Depending on the layout of the front of your home you could have a larger iron wrought security

door that is more of a gate, with intricate patterns and designs that will vastly improve the look of

your home. Contact a company specialising in security doors and you will see there is a whole

range of different products to suit your style of home.



Security screens



Putting security screens on your windows will appeal to anyone wanting to buy your house because

they will feel happier knowing their future investment is secure. Security screens no longer have to

be ugly attachments to your windows that block out the view. Security screens will keep out any

intruders and insects but let you keep the window open to let in the breeze, while not disturbing

your view.



Veranda



Install a veranda along the front of your home and you will greatly improve the look of it. A

veranda can give you home a more period look, it gives you somewhere to sit out of the sun and

will keep the rooms along the front of your house cooler as the veranda will shade them from the

hot sun.



Garden



A garden will definitely make a difference to the look of your home from the curb. If your land

slopes away, or if your house is built down lower than the front pathway you may need to build

a retaining wall. Build any structures that you need to first before sowing any lawn and planting

plants. Roses are easy to look after and always look beautiful. For a garden that is simple to look

after you might want to choose a more minimalist style of garden or native plants which will thrive

in your environment.



Outdoor paving



Paving will look great in your garden. You can lay a pathway to your front door or around to a



side gate way. You might choose sandstone pavers or other stone like blue stone. Pebbles look

nice along the side of pavers, or you can use them around your garden.



Water feature



You might choose to have something like a water feature in the centre of your front lawn to break

up your garden. Another idea is having a statue of some kind or an ornamental tree like a Weeping

Cherry or Japanese Maple.

Kitchen Designs and Decororations Tips

When decorating your kitchen remember to
have enough storage, plan your kitchen around the fridge, bench and stove being
in a triangle and pick a colour to suit the style of room.

There are a few things you should consider when decorating your kitchen. As well as planning a stylish and pleasant looking kitchen to suit your tastes you also want something that is functional. If you are building a new home you might want to choose your major appliances first, such as your Bosch dishwasher, and build your kitchen to comfortably fit. Once your have finished decorating your kitchen don't forget to check that any improvements are included in your contents insurance.

Storage

Every kitchen needs plenty of storage space. You want to be able to put all your smaller appliances, such as the mixer, the toaster and slow cooker away. If you don't have space for them they end up sitting on the bench and give your kitchen a cluttered look. Have big deep drawers where you can store your pots and pans, have a specific cupboard or drawer for your plastic containers, which always seem to take up a lot of space, and create bigger shelves or drawers that will hold your small appliances.



The working triangle

For your kitchen to function as a proper working space you should have three main parts of your kitchen joined up by an invisible triangle. That is you can easy walk from the fridge, to the stove and to the bench in a triangle shape. Having this working triangle shape within your kitchen means that you will save time when cooking, that is you are not walking from one end to the other constantly, and cooking will be much easier. 

Quality appliances

When choosing appliances make sure you go for quality brands. If it is a matter of a few hundred dollars you are better to save that bit longer and get the better quality product or the one that you really want. Having a good quality fridge and dishwasher are important, as well as the oven that you really want. 

Style

When decorating your kitchen you will most likely choose a style to match the rest of your house. If you have a period home then you will want to have a more old fashioned kitchen. You can buy old fashioned tap ware and sinks, such as the Butler sink or the Farm House style sink. There are great modern kitchen designs which are simple and uncluttered. There are plenty of magazines available where you can gain inspiration in choosing the right style of kitchen to suit your home. 

Light

Make sure your kitchen is as light as possible both during the day and in the evening. If the kitchen windows are small you might want to consider renovating and putting in bigger windows to let in more natural light. If this isn't feasible you could always put in a sky light. Having spot lights over your bench is a good idea so that you can see properly when you are cooking. 

Colours

Kitchens look great in most colours. For something bright and cheerful yellow looks great. White or cream are flexible shades that give you the option to change the colour in your kitchen just by changing the colour of your accessories or brightening the room with flowers. For a modern kitchen you might want to try a vibrant red or dramatic black paint. In an old fashioned or country style kitchen any shade of blue or green looks great or more neutral tones.
