How Do You Make the Front of Your House Look Bigger?

Do you want to make the front of your house look bigger? If you have a home that is charmingly small, you can make the exterior feel more expansive with a few tips and tricks. This can make your house’s overall aesthetic more pleasing, giving you a better curb appeal that you can be proud of. After all, your home is your castle, even if it’s more on a scale with a petite dwelling or a tiny house.

Doing this type of work on the front of your home will also make it more desirable if you choose to sell it and move to a different area in the future. Never underestimate the power of curb appeal. People tend to go with their first instinct in looking at the exterior of a house regardless of many features on the inside. Here are some great ways to make the front of your house look bigger that will truly amp up its curb appeal.

Trick the Eye With Landscaping

The trick with landscaping is to make the front yard seem larger by planting around the house on both sides. Do this with a combination of shrubs, bushes, and flowers that taper out and around the sides of the house. That way, your eye will naturally be tricked into thinking the front of your home is bigger than it is in reality. Another tip with the types of trees or plants is to use ones with larger leaves. The larger leaves create naturally larger shadows, which is more interesting and has the illusion of depth. 

Add on a Front Deck Area

Build a deck on the front of the house that curves around to the side. Ensure the deck’s wood isn’t too dark because lighter wood will also make it seem bigger. If you can incorporate multiple levels of the deck, that will add usable space to the front of your property. To keep your deck looking fresh and clean schedule a time for our professional pressure washing crew to come out and pressure wash your deck regularly. 

Build a Patio in the Right Direction

Using pavers that come out to stretch down the front of your yard can make it seem larger when creating a patio space. The key with pavers is to do them at a diagonal instead of just horizontally or vertically. Laying the pavers out diagonally creates the optical illusion of more space. 

Change the Color of Your Home

If you can change the color of the front of your home, this can make the entire house look bigger. Paint it something lighter because light colors and neutrals will make it seem like a more prominent structure. Dark colors close off the exterior, while lighter colors reflect light to make the look of a home more expansive and wider. 

Fencing Gives The Appearance Of A Smaller Space

One mistake that many people make is to put a cute little fence in their front yard. The old white picket fence is a popular look that many people used for decades on their land but instantly minimizes your property. This only closes off the space making the yard in front look smaller and more exact in size. You want the look of the entire front space around your house to not have any definite boundaries, like fences, to make it look tiny.
