3 Ways to Boost the Street Appeal of Your Home

Every home should have a dash of nature. Accents like high-quality wood and plant life add a touch of warmth to any aesthetic and help ground your home in the natural beauty around it.

There are a number of ways to use nature to increase the street appeal of your home, whether you're looking to sell or just hoping to add some flair to your outdoor space. Additions such as decks, screens, large windows, and fencing can do wonders for the aesthetic and perceived value of your property.

Timber Screening

One simple way to add instant flair and design to your outdoor space is by using natural wooden screening to divide up your space and communicate how useful it is.

Natural wood screens such as timber battens are a simple way to achieve this. Timber battens are strips of wood which have historically been used in construction and shipbuilding work.

Battens can be used to divide outdoor space while adding some visual interest. They can also be used to help control sunlight and visibility while also helping with sound dampening. Adding multiple screens in one area can make an outdoor space into a secluded oasis.

Timber Decking

When considering outdoor space and street appeal, a timber deck is one of the first options most people think of. Back decks and front porches provide an area for family and friends to gather in the evenings, making it a draw for those with young children or a large friend circle.

It can also provide those who prefer a much smaller group or just relaxing on their own with a natural space to sit and be peaceful.

A high-quality deck instantly makes an outdoor space more inviting while adding value to your property. Adding a natural deck will also help to give the garden an earthy warmth that can change the entire look of your home.

Timber Fencing

Good, high-quality fences often stick in the minds of potential buyers since they're often one of the first things they see. Thankfully, you don't have to dip into your savings too much to get a beautiful fence to set your property apart from the rest.

While timber fencing has been the norm for Australian gardens for more than a hundred years, a natural timber fence around the front garden can really make a good first impression.

Whether you're looking for a classic picket fence or a more modern design, timber fencing is often a very cost-effective solution for any fencing needs, while adding a touch of class and style to any home.
