Elevate Your Home’s Exterior This Spring
Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home’s exterior. After a long Minnesota winter, your home is ready to shine—and you don’t need a major renovation to make a major impression. Small upgrades can make a big difference in curb appeal. Here are a few easy ways to elevate your home’s exterior this season:
1. Refresh Your Front Door
Your front door is the focal point of your home’s exterior. A fresh coat of paint can instantly update the look. Consider swapping out old hardware for something more stylish and secure. A new handle set or decorative knocker adds a subtle touch of charm.
2. Upgrade Exterior Lighting
New light fixtures offer both form and function. Replace outdated sconces or porch lights with energy-efficient options in sleek, modern designs. Proper lighting highlights your home’s features and adds safety after dark.
3. Add Window Boxes or Planters
Nothing says spring like flowers and greenery. Window boxes, porch planters, or even a pair of pots by your entryway can bring instant color and character to your home.
4. Tidy Up Trim and Siding
Sometimes, all your home needs is a good wash. Power washing your siding, steps, or driveway can make everything feel brighter. A fresh coat of exterior paint can also breathe new life into your home. For more extensive updates, Hilltop Lumber has siding options in a variety of materials and colors.
5. Refresh Your Garage Door
Your garage door takes up a large portion of your home’s facade—so don’t overlook its potential! A fresh coat of paint, new hardware, or even faux window inserts can give your garage door a whole new personality.
6. Revamp Your Deck or Porch
Your outdoor living space deserves some attention too! Repair any loose boards, apply a fresh stain, or consider composite decking for a low-maintenance upgrade. Add comfortable seating and decorative accents for a space you’ll love spending time in.
