Step 7: Curb appeal that doesn’t create maintenance
Curb appeal upgrades that are often high-impact:
- a refreshed front entry (door, lighting, numbers)
- clean, modern exterior light fixtures
- improved pathways and hardscape
- balanced landscaping
- simple, cohesive exterior color palette
A common mistake is adding too many competing finishes. A calm palette and consistent details often look more premium.
