Crafting Curb Appeal

Curb appeal provides the first impression of your home. It is also where your personal style shines through when someone sees your home for the first time. While most details of your custom home are found in the interior to fit your lifestyle, the exterior radiates what lies inside the front door and beyond. Read on to learn tips for achieving the perfect curb appeal for your custom home.

The architectural style of your home will dictate its overall feel, and the details will give it character and personality. Elements like the front porch, distinctive beams, crown molding, roofing materials, windows, and doors all contribute to the appeal. An eye-catching exterior begins with the details that set it apart from other homes. The exterior finish you select will enhance your architectural style and design. Selecting products that work together is key to showcasing your home. Whether you choose stone, brick, stucco, shingles, metal, or wood, there are countless ways to make your home unique. Once you have selected the products, the color of your home will make the next greatest impact on your curb appeal.

Using high-quality building materials is crucial for creating an elegant appearance and contributing to the value of a custom-built home. Meanwhile, choosing home-building materials and colors that reflect your style gives your home distinction and character. Adding a front porch or balcony will further enhance your curb appeal. A wrap-around porch is an elegant addition to a custom home, welcoming people into your space and allowing you to add personal touches with benches or chairs, potted flowers and plants, and colorful rugs.

Doors and windows also create the style of your home and add to its beauty. They are like the accessories of the home that give it personality. Select these items carefully to ensure they give your custom home the look and feel you desire. Your front door should be warm and inviting, stylish and elegant. With so many shapes and sizes available, the selection should complement the rest of the exterior and enhance your home's appeal.

Don’t forget about lighting up your home. Outdoor recessed lighting is a great way to illuminate your front porch without taking up space. You can also use it to add light to a walkway, showcase a water feature like a fountain or pond, and create a safe and beautifully lit path to your home.
