Boost Your Home's Curb Appeal with Outdoor Decor

As we mentioned last week in our indoor decorating blog "Show Your Personality With Your Home Decor," April is National Decorating Month. This week our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop would like to share a few wonderful ideas for decorating the outside of your home. It's the first impression that you make when guests visit your house, and Good & Perfect Gifts has some tips for making that impression an impressive one. 

Small Additions

Small items added to the front of your home can make a huge difference. Good & Perfect Gifts carries some lovely flags for the outside of your home, as well as the poles to hang them from. Choose one that is welcoming, and feel free to change it with every season to keep things interesting. 

We also have marvelous initial door hangers to personalize your front door with. Another excellent decoration for the front door is a seasonal wreath featuring a theme or beautiful florals. Dried or artificial arrangements look great and last all season long.

Colorful Flowers

April also happens to be National Garden Month, so that is a wonderful incentive to add a few real flowers to boost your curb appeal too. If you are ready to put some hard work into it, plant flowers along either side of a front walkway. 

A quicker and simpler way to add live flowers is to put a few beautiful blooms in pots. Two large matching potted plants on either side of the front door is a great visual. Window boxes look beautiful, as do wall hangers that hold plants. You can even add a small shelf to the outside of your home to place some pots of flowers on.         

An Outdoor Room

If your home has a covered front porch, you have plenty of space to add lots of fun decor. As long as the pieces that you use are weather-resistant or blocked from harmful elements like rain and bright sunlight, you can decorate a welcoming conversation area similar to an indoor room. Artwork can be placed on a back wall, and curtains can be hung to block or filter the sun at certain times of day.

Once you get the main furniture in place, like a bench or wicker chairs and a patio table, dress it up a bit. Add a pop of color here and there with throw pillows. Jar candles with lids are perfect, because the lid will keep out any rain while the candle is not in use, and if you choose a scent that bugs don't like, it will keep them away from your relaxing area. 

You can find lots of wonderful home decor items at the Lake of the Ozarks in our Eldon gift shop. We have always have new arrivals coming in, so you are sure to find something fun and exciting each time that you shop at Good & Perfect Gifts. No matter what your decorating style, we've got a little something for everyone.
