Your home’s exterior sets the tone long before anyone steps through the front door. A tired fence, overgrown garden or dated entryway can bring the whole look down but a few smart updates are all it takes to completely transform and boost street appeal.

From modern fencing to refreshed landscaping and a welcoming entry, these three simple changes will give your home an instant lift.

1. A Modern Front Fence Design

Your front fence does more than mark your boundary. It frames your home. Outdated or mismatched fencing can drag down the look of even the most beautiful house, while a clean, modern design adds architectural presence, privacy, and value.

That’s where ModularWalls comes in. Our range of contemporary fence designs combines sleek style with low-maintenance practicality. The crisp lines and rendered finishes of VogueWall® and EstateWall® mimic the look of masonry without the high price tag, while custom heights and profiles ensure the design complements your home’s architecture.

You can even add integrated letterboxes, timber slats, or subtle lighting for a touch of flair. Whether you want a bold and contemporary statement or a soft, coastal look, your front fence sets the tone and ModularWalls makes it simple.

2. Refresh Your Landscaping

You don’t need to completely redesign your garden to make a difference. Sometimes, a few well-chosen updates are enough to elevate the whole exterior. Fresh mulch, defined borders, and neat hedging can instantly sharpen the look of your front yard. Adding symmetry with planters or small feature trees creates balance, while low-maintenance natives provide year-round texture and colour.

When paired with a striking fence, thoughtful greenery delivers an instant designer look that transforms your home’s street presence.

3. Upgrade the Entryway

Finally, turn your attention to the area around your front door. Even the smallest changes here can have a big impact. A freshly painted door in a bold, welcoming colour immediately stands out, especially when complemented by modern hardware like handles, knockers, or house numbers. Updating the lighting not only improves safety but also highlights the entryway as a feature in its own right. Adding touches such as potted plants, a stylish doormat, or even a bench seat softens the space and creates a more inviting welcome.

 

Street Appeal That’s Easy to Achieve

Creating a modern, welcoming street presence doesn’t have to mean months of work or a big budget. Start with the right front fence design, freshen up your garden, and give your entryway some attention, and you’ll be surprised just how much it will boost your street appeal. Because first impressions last and your home deserves to make a great one.
