When it comes to decorating, we often think about the inside of our homes but actually decorating the outside can be just as important, especially if you are looking to sell or rent a property out. Kerb appeal is a huge factor when it comes to house sales. If someone doesn’t like the outside, they may not even venture inside to take a look. There are a number of things you can do to improve the appearance of the outside of your property. Firstly, make sure that gardens are mowed, toys are packed away or neatly stored and hedges, trees and bushes are all pruned. This alone can drastically transform the outside of your home.

The next step would be to look at the building itself, the walls, windows and doors. If you have wooden doors and window frames, then you may not want to go to the expense of replacing them with UPVC but simply giving them a lick of paint will help. Often, we neglect the rendering on our homes, yet this is one of if not the most important things to consider when trying to make improvements. Freshening up that render either by having it professionally cleaned or replaced will knock years off your home.
