When it comes to boosting the curb appeal of your home, there are many different ways to help your home look its best. From a fresh coat of paint to trimming your hedges and pruning your trees, boosting your curb appeal is one of the easiest ways you can protect your home’s value and make your home the envy of the neighborhood. Enhancing your landscaping is, of course, one of the best ways to boost your curb appeal, especially during the spring and summer months. One of the ways you can do this is by incorporating hanging planters with brightly colored flowers into your landscape. Unlike mowing your lawn or planting flowers in flower beds, hanging planters create multiple dimensions of landscape while also boosting the color and beauty of your yard.
Boostings Your Curb Appeal With Hanging Planters
A huge perk to hanging planters is that it’s a simple yet effective way to help bring a pop of color into your yard at eye level, versus down on the ground. This time of year, there is generally a wide variety of different flowers you can choose from readily available to purchase from your local garden center or home improvement store. With such a wide variety to choose from, you can easily select a hanging planter with blooms that complement your home’s aesthetic and colors. If you’re looking to add a pop of color, bright, bold colors can help create a lively and cheerful ambiance, whereas softer pastel hues can create a more timeless and elegant feel.
Unlike traditional flower beds that occupy ground space, hanging baskets and planters draw the eye upwards, which can create different layers of interest within your landscape. There are multiple ways you can incorporate hanging planters into your landscape. Try hanging these baskets from ceilings, pergolas, or garden hooks to help bring your landscaping to eye level. As a bonus, if you choose hanging planters with cascading flowers, it creates a beautiful arrangement of color from eye level all the way down to the landscaping below.
Hanging baskets are also a great choice for those seeking a lower-maintenance pop of color during the spring and summer months. Because these baskets are already at a higher level than ground covering or flowers planted within your landscape, they are especially popular for those with bad backs or limited mobility. Watering them is already off the ground, which means you don’t have to bend over to take care of your flowers. In addition to watering, this also makes pruning your flowers easier, as they are already at a general chest or waist level, allowing you to keep your planter looking its best at all times.
If you’re hoping to boost your curb appeal all year long, then hanging baskets are a great choice. While you can easily add a pop of color during spring and summer months, there are also many varieties you can use during the fall and even winter. Different ferns and green foliage plants often thrive in cooler temperatures and still help boost your curb appeal during months when the rest of your lawn may be looking less than ideal.
