5 Simple Ideas to Beautify the Exterior of Your Home in New Haven, CT

13 December 2019

Although we’re still curling up in the winter cold, it is never too early to plan for exterior improvement of your home in New Haven. Without having to pay a large sum of money, it is easy to create a little paradise with simple, but practical ideas. In this article, we will share five simple and affordable ideas you can use to beautify the exterior of your home in New Haven.

1. Refresh the Exterior Paint

Refreshing the exterior walls of your home is a simple solution, but one that will have a significant impact. If you’re not color-shy, try bright and vibrant colors to stand out. Otherwise, neutral colors can help you blend in and remain in the trend for years to come. If you prefer a more discreet approach, painting your door or the outline of your windows is also a good alternative to give a facelift to your exterior. If you have a front veranda or patio, this option is also available to you. You can also extend this project by having your deck and fence painted or re-stained.


For high-quality and durable results, consider hiring a professional painting contractor in New Haven like New Haven Painters for help. Not only do we have the experience, the skills, and the tools, but we also offer free expert advice on the best type of paint and paint colors that will suit your project.

2. Endless Greenery

When spring comes, plant different plants or flowers in your front garden to add life to your home. If you live in an apartment, your front or rear balcony is not exempted. You can build a few flower boxes, hang plants, grow a garden, etc. Let your imagination run wild! Create your own little secret garden.

3. Ambient Lights

By adding light garlands to your patio, balcony or pergola, you will create perfect mood lighting when you receive your friends or family, either for a few cocktails or for supper. For more impact in front of your house, a few ambient lights along your entrance path will create a sophisticated feel while also remaining functional.

4. Relaxation Area

Perfect for smaller balconies, a relaxation area filled with cushions and accessories will go perfectly with your plants. A perfect idea to impress your guests. For more privacy, add a trellis to your balcony bars to complete your next. If you’re a homeowner, it is easy to replicate a similar atmosphere on your back patio, but it is also possible to make a separate relaxation space in your backyard. 

5. Floating Chairs

Besides your comfort corner, installing hanging chairs can be the perfect finishing touch to your project. By hanging two of them side by side or by pairing them with an outdoor armchair of similar material, you will have the ideal space to enjoy the breeze with your friends. However, you need to find out if the ceiling can support your weight in a hanging chair.Ask for help from a certified contractor who will be able to tell you if this option is available to you. If you can’t hang these on the ceiling, there’re versions of these chairs which you can place on the ground.
