Most people concentrate on the interior of their home when they think about home decor and design, but people see the outside of your house and home first, before they even set foot inside. The exterior of your home is kind of like the cover of a book and attention to detail does count. That’s why it is important to landscape your yard and make sure the outside of your house looks as great as the inside.
Your home should be important to you, so make it look that way with these simple steps. Even if you spend more time inside than out, you want others to have a beautiful view when they come by your house.
A Clean House and A Clean Yard
{Exterior Paint Color: Benjamin Moore London Fog}
You may spend a lot of time cleaning your carpet, counters and the windows, but the outside of the house needs cleaning too. Windows get splotchy and dirty on the outside too, and so does your siding. It’s also important to keep gutters clean.
Your homes curb appeal says everything about it. Make sure it all looks great from the front view, at least. However, if you plan to have any backyard guests you’ll also want to make sure that area is landscaped and looking great too.
Make Your Yard Look Beautiful
Not only should the outside of your home look nice, but so should the area that surrounds your home. This doesn’t just mean keeping clutter cleaned up, but also making sure you have the right flowers, shrubs and other design features that make it eye catching.
This also means that you need to keep it up too. Sometimes mulch doesn’t stay in the flower bed and sometimes weeds grow. You need to mow your lawn often, and if rain isn’t coming your may you will also need to water your lawn. and don’t forget to trim the trees. These tasks all require some good tools on hand, like a great set of pruning shears.
Different seasons, depending on where you live, mean different things when it comes to yard care also. In the spring and fall you may have extra work to do cleaning up leaves and making sure that your plants are prepared for winter or ready to start blooming. During the winter you’ll have less to do if you are someplace with snow, but in the summer there’s always something to do in the yard, from pruning to mowing and planting and growing.
Schedule in your yard maintenance just like you do the cleaning you need to do inside and you’ll ensure that your home always looks spectacular on the inside and on the outside. While this may take some more time out of your busy schedule, think of it as some much needed time outside. You might even get a tan.
