Adding kerb appeal. Any tips.

[Fluffycloudland77]

I've got the ubiquitous box balls in tall black planters & a nice slate house number.

Any other ideas?.

I hate hanging baskets though.

Depends on the house, tbh.

Is the front kept tidy? Front door nicely painted etc? That makes a huge difference.

Yes, it's a newbuild. I don't like the outdoor mat because it's a bit twee.

I want a galvanised steel one like garden trading sell.

This is it.

I like those lights that are up and down lighters but now the house numbers out there it wouldn't look balanced with a light each side of the wall.

Plant a low hedge either side of the porch and on the left, where there's more space, plant something to climb up and over the front of the porch.

When I say low hedge go for something like an evergreen cotoneaster for year round colour.

Put a coloured door in.

Yes, I agree with wow. A low, clipped hedge in the narrow border to add some green and break up the harsh lines. Maybe box (again).

What have neighbours done?

Nice lights either side of the door. Garden trading do some lovely ones. Jim Lawrence if budget stretches further.

I don't think it would look unbalanced with the name/number slate and a pair of lights.

Another hedge/plant vote from me.

Walk around the neighborhood and pinch all the nice ideas you see.
