Just because you have a small front yard doesn't mean that you have an excuse to make it look dull and sad. Your small front yard can look just as beautiful as large ones without having to uproot your driveway or dialing back your front porch.
Here are 6 small front yard ideas you can use to greatly improve your curb appeal according to Realty Times:
#1 Take a symmetrical approach.
It's all about making everything symmetrical. By keeping a balance of either side of your sidewalk, you can have a grander and more inviting yard. You can even go all out on this since you don't need to spend as much as you would in a yard with more acreage.
#2 Make a seamless transition from yard to house.
The goal is to seamlessly have that transition between your yard and your house so you curb appeal looks cohesive and put together. You can use box planters, stone steps, or retaining walls so your home flawlessly blends with your yard.
#3 Use a hint of color.
Get that wow factor by picking bright colored flowers to put in both sides of your front yard. To emphasize, surround them with natural-colored plants to make the colors standout even more.
#4 Hang basket flowers.
To bring in color and fresh elements in your porch or patio, have hanging baskets that grow beautiful blooms. This will make the space more attractive but without cluttering it. You can even change your theme every season or every year, depending on your choice of flowers and shrubs.
#5 Light it up.
You don't want your house to look haunted and abandoned from the outside. Install lighting on your front porch to emphasize your beautiful yard at night. Illuminate your walkway by having solar-powered lamps on both sides - it's for aesthetics and security purposes at the same time.
#6 Refresh your front door.
You can't improve your front yard and leave your front porch drab. The porch contributes to the overall look of your house from the outside. Invest on an appealing front door by making sure that you cover cracks, scratches and any obvious damage. Make it pop by giving it a fresh coat of paint in a bright color that blends with your house's landscape.
