Home improvement projects will always be exciting and there’s nothing like seeing your dream home come to life – but, of course, renovations often come with quite a hefty price tag attached. So how do you go about making your house look as though you’ve spent the big bucks without actually parting with that much cash?
Landscaping and garden design is an excellent place to begin – and a great way to add serious curb appeal to your home, as well as increasing the value of your property, potentially quite substantially.
Your choice of paving stones and slabs for the driveway and patio, for example, can create a beautifully grand aspect if you pick them out carefully. Going for larger pavers can make your home look instantly more expensive and, in fact, if you have a smaller space you might be surprised at how luxurious the overall effect is, so avoid the temptation of smaller slabs if you can.
Paying close attention to detail is another key way to make your landscaping feel more lavish – and you don’t even have to spend any money to achieve this! Keeping everything neat and tidy, without any overgrown areas or weeds poking through the hard landscaped areas, can make a huge difference and all it takes is effort, rather than spending lots.
Following on from this, make sure that you maintain the exteriors properly, cleaning everything regularly, painting any shabby spots and replacing any broken items that emerge over time.
It’s easy to neglect these and, after a time, you tend not to see them – but passersby certainly will, so give your home the proper love and attention it deserves over the years to keep it looking luxurious as time goes on.
