The exterior of your home is kind of like the cover on a book. The outside of your home is designed to tell a story. It is designed to tell people what kind of home is hidden inside. Changing the exterior of your home can really change the entire feel of your home. Here are five ways you can change the exterior of your home.
New Siding
Your siding is designed to protect your home, but it also establishes the overall style and the feel of your home. Changing the siding on your home can transform the entire space and make it feel different. There are lots of different types of siding you can have installed on your home, from vinyl to wood, to metal siding. Drive around and look at homes, or look at homes online, and find a siding style that you like, and see if a contractor who specializes in home exteriors can add that kind of siding to your home.
Add Accent Trim
Siding is great but adding accent trim to your siding can take it to the next level. Adding accent trim around your windows, for example, or just around the edge of each exterior wall, can really make your home pop, especially if you use a contrasting color for the accent trim. Accent trim can be plain, or it can be more orientate, depending on the style you are going for.
Custom Front Door
There is no reason for your front door to look like every other one on the street. Get a custom door made for your home. You can have a contractor hand-carve a front door out of wood in order to have a completely unique front door. Or you can install a pre-made door, but have your contractor paint your front door a unique color in order to customize the look of your front door.
Custom Exterior Shutters
Exterior shutters can be used to protect your windows and your home from strong storms. They can also be used to beautify your home and enhance the appearance of it. Exterior shutters can frame your windows and can serve as another great accent for your home's exterior, especially if you add accent trim to your home as well. You can paint your shutter in tones that complement the accent trim.
If you want the outside of your home to tell a different story, hire a contractor who specializes in custom exteriors to improve the look of your home. They can change the siding, add accent trim and exterior shutters, and install a custom front door. These improves will give your home a new exterior face, and a new story to tell.
