The market doesn’t stop for the weather! This winter season, your clients may be hosting everything from open houses to holiday gatherings. Provide them with some tips on how to keep the curb appeal going strong even in the chilliest months.

Add Some Comfort to Your Entryway

Make your home immediately cozy and welcoming by updating your entryway or porch. You can add a winter-themed welcome mat or outdoor rug, or even try tossing an outdoor-friendly knit blanket on your outdoor seating areas. Some seasonal outdoor pillows can be a great addition to these blankets, too! You could even look into some local winter-themed metal artwork to add a personal touch to your porch and tie it all together.

Safe Walkways and Driveways

Now, more than any other season, is a great time to really keep up with clearing off the pathways to your home. Whether you have a leaf blower, broom, or rake, take time to ensure everything is clear from your entryways so your guests or potential buyers can enter safely. In the event of bad weather, don’t forget to shovel or use an ice melt in case you still plan to have people at your home in the days that follow. Clear walkways are especially important this time of year when the sun sets early!

Cold-Weather Planters

If you already have planters outside your home, try swapping out some weather-resistant plants as the temperatures drop. You can keep nature and greenery alive outside your home while also choosing what’s right for the season. Some ideas you can try—evergreen boxwood, pansies, or winterberry holly. Want something you can even use when it grows? Kale, cabbage, and lavender do well in the winter, too!

Update the Lighting

Daylight savings is behind us and with it went the evening sunshine. Keep your home glowing with updates to your outdoor lighting or by adding some additional lighting. Consider lining your walkway or driveway with solar lights that stick right in the ground. You could also try a simple spotlight to give your porch a little shine. In the backyard, try hanging some trendy string lights to create a positive and glowing atmosphere.

The winter doesn’t have to feel so cold. Help keep your clients’ homes warm and inviting by providing these quick and easy curb appeal ideas for the season.
