According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary of our friends across the pond, “curb appeal” is described as “the visual attractiveness of a house as seen from the street”. A term popularised during the US housing boom of the mid-2000s, curb appeal has remained a popular phrase within the property and real estate business – and with good reason.
While many of us are familiar with the term “don’t judge a book by its cover”, it’s hard not to when it comes to housing. In fact, it’s fair to say it pretty much par for the course. After all, if your house looks like a complete mess from the outside, what does that say about what lies beyond the front door?
Luckily, there are a few very simple ways to change your exterior property from a bombsite to dynamite, and we’ve laid them out in black and white right here for you. Increase your curb appeal with these simple tips that will leave your house looking like the cover of Ideal Home.
