Adding charm to your home’s facade needn’t require a big investment of time or cash.

These low-cost, high-style improvements bring modern flair right to your front door.

5 budget-friendly curb appeal boosters

1. Create an instant garden beside the door with a trio of planters of different heights and colours. Fill them with flowering annuals or houseplants in a variety of sizes, colours and leaf shapes.

2. Paint your front door an expressive colour like red or turquoise. Check out our 12 favourite front door paint colours.

3. Add a store-bought trellis or arbour where your walkway meets the sidewalk. If you like, plant a vine like clematis, wisteria or ivy to climb the arbour over time.

4. Install shutters – you can get resin ones now that are virtually maintenance-free.

5. Upgrade your address numbers, mailbox and other exterior “jewellery” in a style that complements your home’s architecture.
