Mlive.com recently published a great article about personalizing your home. The first thing that catches my eye when I visit an individual’s home is its exterior color. According to the article, there is a growing trend towards uniqueness and customization. That is, more and more individuals are beginning to modify the exteriors of their homes in order to make them more personal. This is a very important quality, which you ought to consider when searching for and purchasing a new home. Your home is an opportunity to express yourself and enhance the aesthetics of your entire neighborhood. Better yet, adding a bit of color to your home does not mean you will automatically relinquish its sophisticated appearance. Simply add an accent of dark brown, caramel color, or another earthy natural hue. You may not want to paint your house a radiant yellow or vibrant blue (but, if you do, go for it!). So, what about applying a touch of maroon or dark green to the roof and window frames? Mlive.com reports, “One of the hottest trends for exterior enhancements is to select vinyl windows with exterior color frames that complement the overall look of the home.” This can turn a simple structured home into one that pops. You could also try a different type of wood or stone and apply it to the window frame. In other words, the sky’s the limit. Try to make every room look as spacious, organized, bright, warm and inviting as possible. Washing the walls and ceiling will help to give a good look to your home. If possible, paint with light, neutral colors. Repair cracks in plaster. Tighten loose doorknobs, pulls on drawers and cabinets, towel racks, switch plates and outlet covers. Fix leaky faucets and remove water or rust stains. Organize the basement and attic so that they appear as spacious and neat as possible. Adding a personal touch can never be a bad thing. Feel free to express yourself and show off your creative side. Why not paint the front door a navy blue or olive green? These small changes will make you feel even more comfortable when you move into your new house. Just splash a bit of color onto that blank canvas…and you will feel right at home.
