The holiday season is the time when families bundle up, pile into their cars, and drive around taking in all the glimmering holiday lights. But don’t forget: While onlookers are cruising through your neighborhood, they’re not just marveling at the animatronic Santa Claus. They’re also sizing up your curb appeal. After all, it’s impossible for them to say “Ooh!” and “Aah!” at all your great outdoor Christmas lights ideas without first noticing how well you maintain the front of your house. Many of us entertain guests throughout the season, and it's imperative that you welcome them with the proper presence out front.
No
matter how many lights, wreaths, garlands, or other cute Christmas
knick-knacks you slap on your house, it won’t disguise a failing facade. In
fact, overloading your home with eye-catching decorations can actively draw
attention to those aspects you’d rather keep hidden if you’re not careful.
Take
a long, hard look at your home’s paint job. Are chips flaking off in the
corners? Have the vivid colors faded to a washed-out pallor? If so, the single
best thing you can do is get out the paint cans and get to work. Most exterior
paint job if done right, is a weekend project that gives results you
can enjoy for a decade or more.
Even
if you’re not ready to paint your home, you should still give the exterior a
thorough cleaning. Pick up a simple siding cleaning kit from your local
hardware store for cheap. If you want to get serious, rent
a power washer for a day, and really cut into those dirt stains. After
rinsing everything down, you’ll be amazed at how much newer your home will
look.
Enhancing
your home's curb appeal for the holiday season is a great way to create a warm
and inviting atmosphere for your family and guests. Here are some ideas to
refresh your facade and boost your curb appeal during the holidays:
- Decorate
with Seasonal Wreaths and Garlands: Hang a beautiful wreath on your
front door and drape garlands along your porch railing or around the
entrance. You can choose from a variety of styles, from traditional to
modern, to match your home's decor.
- Exterior
Lighting: Add holiday lights to your porch, pathways, and trees.
String lights along the roofline, wrap them around pillars or use
solar-powered path lights to guide visitors to your door. Consider using
energy-efficient LED lights for a longer-lasting and eco-friendly display.
- Festive
Door Decor: Paint your front door in a festive holiday color like
red, green, or even deep blue. You can also add a decorative doormat that
welcomes guests with a holiday message.
- Window
Decorations: Dress up your windows with holiday-themed curtains,
wreaths, or window clings. The added touch of holiday decor on your
windows can be seen from the street and adds to the overall charm.
- Lawn
Decorations: Place inflatable figures, light-up reindeer, or other
festive lawn decorations in your front yard. Just be sure not to go
overboard – moderation is key to keeping a tasteful look.
- Clear
Pathways and Driveways: Ensure your walkways and driveways
are clear of leaves or debris. A well-maintained path to your front door
is not only safe but also visually appealing.
- Create
a Focal Point: Consider placing a beautifully decorated Christmas
tree, even a small one, in a visible window. This can be a striking focal
point that can be seen from the street.
- Personalize
Your Decor: Showcase your unique style and traditions through
personalized decorations. This could be family monograms, custom-made
ornaments, or heirloom decorations passed down through generations.
