How to Give Your Home a Good First Impression

How to Give Your Home a Good First Impression

Posted on 05/12/202404/19/2025 by Lucinda Fowkes

Whether you are selling your house or looking to make your current property your forever home, the impression that your home gives off will make a huge difference. If you are selling your home, then it will make it more attractive to buyers and increase its value. If you are looking to stay in your property, you can please neighbours by having a nice property and customising your home to look nice for when you return home every day from work. First impressions are great to consider for both yourself and other people. The last thing you want is a home that looks a mess on the inside and outside. This will not make it nice to come home to, you’ll stick out in your neighborhood and it will make it more difficult to sell. To help you on your journey, here are some top tips to help you give your home a good first impression.

Make any obvious fixes

Firstly, if you have roof tiles hanging off, old windows falling apart or broken paving stones, then your home is already not going to give off a very good impression. Take a look around your home and make a list of all the obvious issues with your property and what fixes you need to get done. Make sure you get help from professionals, such as a roofing repair specialist, to help you with the harder jobs. With fixes such as your roof, it will require specialist skills, knowledge and safety awareness to get done. Once all the broken parts of your home are fixed, it will give off a great impression.

Declutter

Clutter can quickly add up and make a home look messy. Clear out any clutter you have around the windows, and check what kind of items you have in your front garden and other areas around the outside of your home. Once you have cleared everything up by giving it a new place or storing it, you can see clearly what space you have to work with. A clear space makes a home look much nicer. This doesn’t mean you can’t have anything out at all. Use this clean slate you have created to see where you can strategically place items to help your home give off a good impression.

Refresh

Refreshing things like the paint on the exterior of your home, updating the window and door frames and even replacing things like old gutters can make a huge difference to the impression your home gives. You can update things as they are to give them a new, fresh and clean look, or you can even change the style or colour of things and try something new and different.

Landscape

Landscaping your front garden can help to give your home an excellent first impression. If you are creative or have a keen eye for plants, then you should head to a local store and see what you can pull together. Opt for seasonal plants or plants that will last all year round, depending on how much money and maintenance you want to invest. This can be the perfect finishing touch for your home’s exterior.

Follow these top tips, and make your home beautiful.
