The holidays are right around the corner and there’s a growing anticipation for the season here on Lake Nacimiento.  Whether you live in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch all year long, or you’re visiting your Lake Nacimiento vacation home this holiday season and are planning on entertaining family and friends; you’ll want to make your Lake Nacimiento home as welcoming as possible!

Oftentimes, it’s easy to focus so much on decorating the interior of your home and making it feel cozy for the holidays, that the outdoors can be pushed out of the limelight.  Yet, creating a visually appealing environment from the moment guests see your home can set the stage!  This is especially true if you’re trying to sell your Lake Nacimiento home this holiday season!  You want buyers to fall in love with your home from their first impression!  Here are seven simple ways to create great holiday curb appeal for your Lake Nacimiento home.

1. Safety– You may have friends and family planning to visit soon, so you’ll want to put safety first! Be sure your driveway, sidewalk and front porch are cleared of debris.  Also, be sure to secure any loose stones or steps that could be hazardous along the path up to the front door.

2. Tasteful Decorations– While you can have fun with the season’s bright lights and characters of Christmas, it can be easy for some to get carried away. Try small white lights around your homes’ bushes or front porch post, a simple wreath and garland to enhance your home’s appearance without being too distracting.

3. Fresh Paint– Your Lake Nacimiento home is more visible in the winter months as trees are free from their leaves and your home’s condition is more exposed. Touching up chipped or faded paint is a great way to help your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home look refreshed.

4. A Neat Lawn– Be sure to keep your lawn free from any leaves, twigs, etc… that may have blown through with the harsher winds. Just because your lawn is not expected to be as lush as the summer months, doesn’t mean to ignore the state of your lawn. Keeping it cleaned up will show that you care.

5. Clean Gutters– It’s not too late to make sure your gutters are free from leaves and other debris. You’ll want these cleared so that rain can easily run through the gutters and not cause damage.

6. Lighting– The use of lights can really make your home stand out with the shorter winter days. Since there is more time without the suns’ light, using a variety of lighting can give your home a warm glow. Indoor window lights in each room provides a nice appeal, while lights along the pathway up to your home, a bright porch light and tasteful Christmas lights are all ways in which to enhance your Lake Nacimiento homes’ curb appeal.

7. Cold Weather Plants– Hearty plants and Evergreen trees can withstand the winter months while adding visual appeal to the outside of your home. Evergreen Holly will add a splash of color with its red berries and can stand up to the cooler weather.

Hopefully these tips inspire you to come with a welcoming environment for the exterior of your home!
