Increase Your Calgary Home’s Curb Appeal

Although we can never be sure here in Calgary, it does seem like the warm weather season is here to stay. The flowers are out at the nurseries and people are getting their front yards in order. Spring and summer are the times when we all turn our attention to our home’s curb appeal, whether you’re planning to put your house on the market or not. Not only does increasing your home’s curb appeal make your neighbourhood look better overall, but a pretty, well-maintained front yard and house is a welcoming way to greet your family and yourself when you get home each day.

Here are a few of our favourite ways to increase your Calgary home’s curb appeal:

Give the Exterior a Fresh Coat of Paint

It’s hard to beat a fresh coat of paint when it comes to upgrading your home’s curb appeal. Whether it’s the entire house or even just your front door, a new colour or a fresh coat of the same colour will make the exterior feel brand new. Benjamin Moore has a great list of the best exterior paint colours that you’ve love. You can also book a complimentary design consultation with our preferred interior designer in Calgary if you’re interested in kicking off a project together and we’ll help you pick the best colour for your Calgary home’s exterior.

Refinish Garage Doors

This is a small change that makes a huge difference. Calgary’s weather can leave its mark on the finish of your garage doors, and refinishing them is a great option that means you don’t need to replace them. It’s a quick way to add polish to your home’s exterior.

Refresh Your Landscaping

You don’t need to have much of a green thumb to make your yard look its best. Whether you opt for low-maintenance brick or stone hardscaping, drought-resistant grasses so that you can water less, or you go full on with grass and garden full of flowers, a tidy, well-maintained front yard will increase your home’s curb appeal. We need to take advantage of the warm months so take this as your reason to buy a few new flowers and a planter and spend a Saturday tidying up your front yard.
