Spring is in the air; can you feel it? When you walk outside to get the mail, you may have noticed that the birds have returned and are starting to sing again. The entire east coast is breathing a sigh of relief. We have nearly made it through another long winter!
As your thoughts begin to wander outdoors, you might find yourself eyeballing the exterior of your Philadelphia, PA home and making plans to spruce things up.
Perhaps you hate the paint color on your front door or shutters, or maybe your trim could use a fresh coat of exterior paint. We understand your spring fever and are excited to get back to working outside as well.
In the spirit of spring, here are seven painting tips and exterior paint ideas that will increase your curb appeal.
Freshen Your Front Door
An easy fix to boost your curb appeal is to select a new exterior paint color for your front door. This will direct the eye to your entryway, making it the focal point it is intended to be. If you are having a hard time choosing between paint colors, check out pinterest or some magazines to get professional, home decorating ideas.
Brighten Your Outdoor Furniture
Have some patio furniture that has seen better days? Consider sprucing it up with spray paint. Use patio furniture and other weather proof home decorating ideas in well-paired paint colors. This will create an inviting space to unwind, as well as give your home’s exterior a collected and stylish appearance.
Do A Mailbox Makeover
Your mailbox should be styled harmoniously with the rest of your home’s exterior. Consider repainting it to match your front door or trimwork, and styling it with flowers or climbing vines. If you need to replace it entirely, choose a box and post that will complement your existing exterior style.
Add Some Window Boxes
Window boxes can work wonders for your home’s exterior, framing it with greenery and adding character and charm. If your home does not have window boxes or planters currently, try adding some in a fresh white paint color so your blooms will stand out.
Consider A New Coat Of Exterior Paint
If the overall exterior of your home is looking dated or dingy, consider having it repainted with a fresh, modern paint color. Our painters are experts in helping homeowners transform their home’s curb appeal with well chosen exterior paint colors. We would love to help you with your Camden, NJ home.
Style Your Shutters
If your shutters are bringing your curb appeal down, consider having them replaced or repainted. They do not have to match the exterior paint color on your front door, but theyabsolutely must pair well with the siding or brick of your home’s exterior. If you are struggling to select a paint color, try going a few shades darker or lighter than the brick or siding you are working with.
Redo Your Railings And Trim
Your porch railings, columns and trim are generally wooden and will need to be repainted every so often, generally every 5-10 years. If the current exterior paint on your railings or trim has started to chip or peel, then this is your year to repaint or change up your exterior trim.
