If you\u2019re in a cold-weather climate, don\u2019t let the winter blues bring down your listing\u2019s curb appeal. Jackie Mosher, co-founder of Dzinly, a company that provides designer-approved digital exterior designs for inspiration, offers a few tips for sprucing up the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven just a fresh paint coat of the existing color can sometimes do the trick,\u201d Mosher says. Or give it a new color. For a cohesive look, paint the door a shade darker or lighter than the home\u2019s exterior color. For a bolder statement, use the color wheel, choosing a color the opposite of the home\u2019s main color. For example, if the home is mostly brown, give the front door its complementary color\u2014dark blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In winter, try cold-friendly plants such as pansies, flowering cabbages and kales, and ferns. Layer the height of the arrangements with up to three different plant varieties, Mosher suggests. Whatever the season, greenery and flowers along your windows dress up the home\u2019s architecture and \u201cadd interest, dimension and personality,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there\u2019s room, add a hanging pendant or chandelier above the front door. Mosher suggests picking a fixture that\u2019s about one-third or one-fourth the size of the front door (including the trim). Or, update the carriage lights beside the door. Boxed lanterns in a black or antique bronze finish are a nice touch, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large, sleek black numbers can add a modern vibe to a home. \u201cThese can become a focal point,\u201d Mosher says, citing modernhousenumbers.com as her favorite site for inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
