1. Transformative Exterior Paint & Staining
Fresh paint can work wonders for your home's first impression. It's a cost-effective upgrade that speaks volumes. The colour you choose sets the tone, with neutral shades offering timeless appeal. Consider bolder choices for your front door to add a touch of individuality. Remember to select the right finish for durability and easy maintenance.

3. Windows and Doors Make a Statement
Upgrade your windows for energy efficiency and style. Opt for double or triple glazing and frames. As for doors, choose sturdy materials like wood or composite and select a style that complements your home's character.

4. Revitalise Your Driveway and Paths
Upgrade your driveway and paths for enhanced aesthetics and functionality. Choose materials like block paving for design flexibility, gravel for affordability, or concrete for durability. Consider permeable options for eco-friendly appeal.
 
5. Landscaping and Garden Tranquillity
A well-designed front and rear garden extends your living space. Go for low-maintenance designs that blend with nature, incorporating outdoor living areas for relaxation and entertainment.
 Create inviting outdoor spaces in your rear garden with decks, patios, and even outdoor kitchens. Materials like wood, composite, and stone offer various options to match your style and budget. Consider adding shelter for year-round use and privacy for an intimate oasis.
