Curb appeal refers to the attractiveness of a home from a passerby. Adding curb appeal can increase your property value, make you feel more proud of your home, and – of course – make your neighbors jealous.
Most people only think of the way their home looks during the day. But nighttime curb appeal is a very real thing, and it can really set your house apart from the rest.
Here are some ways to increase your home’s nighttime curb appeal and make sure it looks great 24/7.
There is one major way to make your home stand out at night: lighting.
Landscape lighting, the gold standard in nighttime curb appeal, involves installing lighting at the base of trees, in flower beds, and along walkways. You can purchase DIY landscape lighting kits or invest in professional lighting services. No matter which you choose, landscape lighting is a surefire way to increase your curb appeal!
Another great way to add nighttime curb appeal is spot lighting or accent lighting. Rather than lighting up your landscape, spot or accent lighting is aimed at your home. With spot lighting, you can highlight your favorite architectural elements like your windows, shutters, or accents, or just illuminate your home’s exterior. In addition to increased curb appeal, illuminating your home with spot lighting can add a layer of security and deter intruders. Like landscape lighting, you can install your own accent lighting with a kit or hire a professional lighting service. Either way, your home will shine!
For curb appeal on a smaller scale, add flameless candles to your window sills on the inside. In addition to adding charm to the outside of your home, flickering flameless candles are a safe way to make your home cozier inside!
