Home is where the heart is, so it\u2019s always a good idea to transform it into a place you love. Home improvements should not be limited just on the inside because what your house looks like on the outside can have an effect on how you feel. You want to be happy, proud, and comfortable every time you come home from work, and upgrading your exteriors can be just the thing that will do that.<\/p>\n

Home projects don\u2019t have to be expensive nor exhaustive. With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can make any budget work. Here are some exterior home details ranging from simple improvements to large-scale renovations that can turn your home into the star of your neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Install Outdoor Lighting<\/h3>\n

An unlit house can look gloomy and unwelcoming, but you can easily remedy this by installing outdoor lighting on your property. A well-lit lawn and curb offer security benefits and peace of mind<\/a><\/span><\/span>. Additionally, outdoor lighting can serve a second aesthetic purpose as you can use the lights to accentuate specific areas of your house or lawn.<\/p>\n

Adding exterior lights to all the right places can have wonderful effects. For example, path lights can be used to highlight the charming cobblestone walkway that leads up to your front door, and they can also give practical illumination when you come home after a late night out.<\/p>\n

If your home has a veranda or terrace, you can install deck lights to enhance the beautiful shrubberies and intricate balustrade, or you can invest in landscape lighting<\/a><\/span><\/span> to show off your well-manicured lawn and throw magical outdoor dinner parties.<\/p>\n

Update Your Garage Door<\/h3>\n

Updating your old garage door can have many potential benefits. A brand-new garage door can improve your home security and save you sums of money from reduced maintenance and repair costs. It can also lower heating and cooling expenses.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of things you can do to add oomph to your garage door. If you have a faded one worn out from years of exposure to the elements, you can improve it with a fresh coat of paint or replace the panels with glass panes so your door looks sleek and modern.<\/p>\n

If you have the budget, you can completely replace your old one and splurge on a smart garage door. A smart garage door has a lot of convenient features; some models will allow you to pair with your smartphone so you can use it as a remote control to open and close the door. Certain smart garage door models also give you added security by letting you know whether it is locked.<\/p>\n

Lay Down a New Path Walk<\/h3>\n

A clean and well-maintained path walk will not only make your house look presentable but also prevent accidents and inconveniences. If you\u2019ve been fumbling your way through a cracked walkway overgrown with weeds on your way to the front door, then it might be about time for an upgrade.<\/p>\n

Different materials offer different benefits that can help you achieve a certain look for your home. For example, red-brick pavers have been used for hundreds of years and loved for their durability. Their unique appearance also makes them a great choice if you want to add a touch of old-world elegance to your house\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n

If you want something easy to install and affordable, gravel would be an excellent option. Although cheaper than other materials, gravel paths can still look sleek and stylish when installed correctly.<\/p>\n

Build a Deck<\/h3>\n

A deck is an attention-grabbing, appealing addition to your home. It transforms the otherwise underutilized part of your backyard into a charming area for entertainment and relaxation.<\/p>\n

You can even maximize the space under the deck. Check out these ceiling panels for under-deck living rooms<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

For its role in enhancing outdoor living spaces, a deck is a sought-after feature among homebuyers. It adds value to the property, and this potential return on investment builds the case for a deck addition.<\/p>\n

Build a Gazebo<\/h3>\n

If you have a spacious lawn or yard and enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, then a gazebo might be a great home-improvement idea. A gazebo can instantly liven up an otherwise dull and empty lawn and wow neighbors passing by your home. It is also a great place to keep cool on a hot summer day or host an amazing garden party or afternoon tea. Furnish your new gazebo with lawn chairs, recliners, and hanging plants.<\/p>\n

Depending on your time, budget, and DIY skills, you can either purchase a gazebo or build one yourself. A freestanding pergola could be a practical alternative if you don\u2019t feel like crowding your garden with a bulky structure. You can decorate the pergola by letting woody vines and flowers grow around the pillars and crossbeams.<\/p>\n
