Hey party peeps! As you all know, we just purchased our home and I, for one, am eager to make some changes to the house to make it feel more like our own. Join me as I show you How to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home with Outdoor Accents using some stylish and affordable accessories I found at Target.
ADD CURB APPEAL WITH ACCESSORIES
Home improvements can cost a fortune, but there are some things that you can do to your home to change its look and feel without spending a lot. Target is one of my go-to stores to look for seasonal accessories to add a decorative touch to my home. They have stylish options and affordable prices. With our list of home improvements growing and budgets right along with it, being able to improve our home’s curb appeal for less than $200 was something we could do right away. To complete the look, we are having our shutters and front door painted black next month which will really change the look of the front of the house and tie in the black accessories I chose. Check back next month and I’ll post a photo of the front of the house fully finished..paint & all!
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Whenever I’m redecorating a space, I always snap a photo of the space with my cell phone so that I can refer back to it while I’m in the store shopping. This way I can tell right away if I’m buying too much or too little. It really helps you visualize the area you’re decorating while you’re in the store.
Our house has a pretty small front porch, so I decided to focus my attention to accessorizing the stairway. These tall vertical black planters perfectly accentuated the tallness of columns. I added the solar wicker patio lights for some texture and visual softness to the modern clean lines of the black planters. For a whimsical touch, I added these cute all-white ceramic rabbit garden stakes to the planters. I’ve always loved the way lights look when lining a walkway and Target had these cute ones 6 to a pack so I could bring one pack home, place them along a part of the walkway and see if I liked them first before committing to all of the lights I would need to fully line our walkway and driveway. Overall the look is modern and cozy. We just love it!
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Both the wicker lanterns and the walkway lights are solar powered! I’m loving how they power up during the day and then cast a fabulous light at night without using any electricity. Such an easy and inexpensive way to add lighting to your porch and front of your home.
What did you do to the front of your house to add to its curb appeal?

Oy, my yard is in desperate need of some accessorizing! You have some great ideas.
Love the solar powered lights!
Always a great addition to the front porch. We have matching flower pots lining our stairs with a mixture of rich Color. I wonder if I can find any of those lights here they would be perfect!
I love them too. I love that there is not install required by an electrician!
The accessories look wonderful on your front porch. I especially like the little rabbit. I like that you purchased these at Target so they’re easy to find and fairly inexpensive.
You did a great job. It’s amazing how just a few touches can completely change the look of a home.
It is amazing what just a few accents can do! I love the way it turned out. It looks so much cuter.
It looks great. I haven’t done anything with my home because we don’t even want to be here right now lol but I plan to make sure our outside looks amazing!
Wow what transformation! With just a few simple items! I need to do the same thing to the front of my home!
I do real estate photography so I’m all about these details and accents. And even if you don’t know exactly why, you can tell that it’s more pleasing to the eye.
What great tips for accenting your home. i am trying to figure out what to coat my outdoors frogs with before i repaint. To liven them back up. Any clues?
These are pretty and they made a lot of difference.Thanks for the idea.
You added a lot to the front! It looks a lot better, the little rabbits are cute.
It’s amazing what a few accents can do to improve the curb appeal of a house. I love the accents you added to your front porch. It reminds me that I need to refresh my curb appeal.
I would love to know what shade of mauve that is because I adore the shade. I also am a big time Target shopper. What a fab difference. Your place is stunning.
I love these! It’s amazing what a few well-placed accessories can do to make a home so much more interesting.
I love your idea of solar powered lights. You’re right, the space looks way better after with the accessories.
These really do make a big difference to your home entrance. They look sharp and beautiful.
Good idea. Love solar lights.
it is amazing what a little accessory can do for a home!
That is a smart idea!! I like it for my side of our front door. I love its color and simple and neat design.
Those solar lanterns are really cute. I would like to have them at my house.
The accents are very subtle but I love them. Great picks.
I love the outdoor accents. Ok, don’t laugh but I love garden gnomes. I have 10 in the front of my house (in the greenery). They are all fun and different.
I love how you took Pretty to Fantastic. Your eye for design paid off. Affordable and even I could do this. I love the girlfriend tips. I can’t wait to come back and see what else your doing. I might of just found my new favorite site. Thank you 🙂
I like the two added plants to the porch. The black squared pots look nice and sleek.
This is so simple to do, but it really makes a big statement (and for not a lot of money!) I definitely need to work on my curb appeal!
Definitely adds a bit of “homey” feel to the front enterance doesn’t it? I’d add some more colour to the potted plants if I were you! Hot pink! 🙂
Love the plants and solar lights, thtdefinitely add something beautiful in front of the house. Love it!
That looks very nice. I always love making my home and outdoors around my home looking great at all times. We have added plants and benches and other stuff to make it look really nice.
Isn’t it crazy that adding a few accent pieces outside, would totally transform your look. Love what you added :]
This is beautiful – and at Target! I’ll have to check into it with some ideas for sprucing up now that summer seems to be here in the Mountains – I love the idea of taking a before and after picture with our cameras!
Isn’t it amazing how just the slightest change can make such a huge difference? I love those little lantern lights. They would look great in my yard!
Wow it’s impressive how much better your doorstep looks with simply adding a few accent items. These are great tips!
Your outdoor accents are really nice. I like a nice clean tasteful look. You did a great job.
The after shot looks so great! It’s really wonderful how such a simple change can improve curb appeal so much!
It’s amazing how just a few small details can make a big difference! I love the cute little ceramic rabbits.
Wow the after shot shows a big difference. I love that you gave us some easy to do tips. It looks great
I am loving the look of the update porch. Thanks for the tip about the cell phone I never would have thought to take a picture before I went to the store. Please consider linking this awesome post on the #HomeMattersParty on my site.
I love when you get to work with whats basically a blank canvas. You did a great job accenting and designing your space.
You are so right, just a few, well placed items can make so much difference. You’re welcome to come to my house and fix ‘er up anytime!
Love the bunnies! I wanted to get some planters like these that I saw at target today
I love those bunnies and lanterns. For sure it looks pretty at night too when those lanterns are lit. Thanks for the ideas!
Omg this is something I need to do so bad!!! My yard needs all the help
It can get accessory wise!
I love the decorations in the yard. It makes the house look very welcoming.
I want your purple door!!! Such a pretty home.
I loved when you mentioned how you take a picture of the space you plan to work with so you know what you have to work with when buying outdoor accents. It makes sense that doing this can help you know exactly what your space looks like and make sure the items you buy can match your area and your home. My wife wants to add some decoration to the outside of our home and wants to make sure it looks great, so I’ll share your page with her for some useful tips.
I read your post. This is the first time I am seeing your full post.Awesome writing. It’s really helpful. Thank you so much for giving the important information.
