5 Exterior Design Mistakes Atlanta Homeowners Can’t Afford to Make
When it comes to boosting your Atlanta home’s curb appeal, the exterior design plays a crucial role. But even seasoned homeowners can fall into some common pitfalls that detract from their home’s beauty and value. Inspired by insights from Better Homes & Gardens, we at WG at Compass want to help you avoid these costly mistakes and create a stunning outdoor space that stands out in the Atlanta market.
Atlanta’s neighborhoods—from historic Buckhead estates to modern Midtown condos—each have distinct architectural personalities. One of the biggest errors homeowners make is choosing exterior designs that clash with the surrounding homes. At WG at Compass, we advise aligning your exterior style with your neighborhood’s character to maintain harmony and maximize resale value.
Atlanta homes often feature grand porches and lush landscaping. Oversized or undersized exterior elements like shutters, doors, or lighting fixtures can throw off the balance. Keeping scale and proportion in mind ensures your home’s facade feels inviting and well-balanced.
Georgia’s climate demands durable, high-quality materials. Cheap siding, poorly installed roofing, or low-grade paint will quickly degrade and harm curb appeal. WG at Compass works with local builders and designers to recommend materials that withstand Atlanta’s weather while elevating your home’s look.
Beautiful landscaping can transform a home, but overgrown shrubs or lack of maintenance can make it look neglected. Opt for clean lines, native plants, and proper lighting to highlight your home’s best features and create welcoming outdoor spaces.
Small touches like door hardware, house numbers, and mailbox style add personality and polish to your exterior. Skipping these details can leave a home feeling unfinished. Our team helps clients curate these accents for a cohesive, upscale look.
At WG at Compass, we understand Atlanta’s unique real estate landscape inside and out. Whether you’re selling, buying, or renovating, our local expertise and network of trusted contractors ensure your home’s exterior makes a lasting impression.
