Your home’s exterior is the first impression guests have of your abode, so why not make it memorable? Here we’ll explore creative and budget-friendly DIY projects to spruce up your outdoor space, from a charming mailbox makeover to a personalized doorbell cover.
Say goodbye to your dull mailbox and hello to curb appeal with a DIY mailbox makeover. Start by sanding down the surface and giving it a fresh coat of weather-resistant paint in a color that complements your home’s exterior. Make a statement before guests even ring the doorbell with a custom doorbell cover.
Add a touch of seasonal flair to your front entryway with a DIY door wreath display. Start with a wreath base made of wire, grapevine, or foam, then layer on greenery, flowers, berries, and other decorative elements using hot glue or floral wire. Combine practicality with beauty by building an address plaque planter box to showcase your house numbers and favorite blooms.
Construct the planter box using weather-resistant wood or composite materials, and attach a decorative address plaque to the front. Alternatively, get creative with custom lanterns or luminaries made from mason jars, LED candles, and decorative elements like twine or ribbon. Strategically place the lights to guide guests to your front door and enhance nighttime curb appeal.
Add decorative elements such as house numbers, a custom nameplate, or stenciled designs for a personalized touch.
