Exterior Trends That Instantly Boost Curb Appeal, Experts Say

Southern homes emphasize exterior charm to create inviting first impressions. Key curb appeal tips include simplicity with no more than three exterior features, upgraded roofing like textured cedar, and statement front doors in bold or traditional colors. Earthy materials, properly sized shutters, natural landscaping with native plants, porch refreshes, and well-planned exterior lighting enhance appeal. Unpainted brick and outdoor seating areas also add timeless charm and functionality.
