How to create Christmas curb appeal…
Could your home use a bit of extra curb appeal this Christmas?
Your home’s exterior is like the cover of a book, setting the stage for what’s inside, especially when things start to get festive. Adding curb appeal is often an easy and inexpensive way to make your house look nicer and boost its value.
Here are seven simple ways to create instant curb appeal…
1. All about the topiary
Buxus sempervirens is the perfect species for topiary cones, as the evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and, as Box topiary is relatively slow-growing, it’s very low maintenance and can be easily pruned into a formal shape. Simply trim your Buxus topiary cone once a year to keep it looking neat.
A pair look fantastic either side of a doorway or entrance, especially when decorated in fairy lights for tha festive glow.
