Whether you are planning to sell your home soon or just want to increase its value and add to your enjoyment, curb appeal is an important factor to consider. The way your house looks from the street is the first impression for visitors, neighbors, and potential buyers. With that in mind, it’s important to make that impression count by taking care with the landscaping, walkway, entrance, mailbox, driveway, and other elements visible from the street.
Take a look at some of the best ways to add curb appeal to your Kansas City home, according to Better Homes & Gardens .
- Replace or upgrade porch railings, keeping in mind the scale, architectural style, and color scheme of the rest of the house.
- Incorporate stone . This adds an elegant, textural element to your home.
