Maintenance free ideas to wake up your home's exterior form those winter blues
We are all taught not to judge a book by its cover but when it comes to your home we are all guilty of passing by impressive homes and looking at the pretty exterior and dreaming. Very often homes that have been tended to and look beautiful from the outside have used the simplest ideas that any of us could re create but it's the off putting part of the process is the regular upkeep.
Below are some striking, maintance free ideas that will lift you home from the winter blues and keep it looking beautiful all year round.
Boxwood
Add some mini artificial boxwood hedges as window boxes. The best thing about this wonderfully classic style is that is something that does not look out of place at any time of the year

Framing your entrance
Framing the entrance to your front can make your home look a lot grander often helps your home from looking too one dimensional. When looking for the perfect tree or plant to frame an entrance a good place to start is with topiary trees and plants. These are great because they are neat and tidy and usually sculptured to a slender shape which avoids any braches growing up and the way of your door! When opting for an artificial product make sure the foliage of the tree or plant is UV stable, this prevents your tree discolouring or fading outdoors.
