While you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, most people judge a home based off its exterior. A home’s initial appearance gives observers a feel for what the inside might be like. This means that curb appeal is important whether you want to impress the neighbors or if you’re considering selling. Fabric awnings are an excellent option for enhancing your curb appeal and adding value to your home. 

How Do Awnings Boost Curb Appeal?

1. Increased Visual Interest

Like curtains and drapes, fabric awnings add visual interest and a pop of color. These can be used instead of or in combination with shutters to make your home stand out. They come in a wide range of colors and patterns to complement any exterior look. Awnings are also available in many shapes and styles. They can be round, triangular, domed, or concave and be made to fit any size of window or entrance.

2. Reduced Cooling Costs

In addition to looking nice and adding character, awnings improve the value of your house. Window awnings cut down the amount of sunlight that enters the home, creating shade and reducing your cooling bills. 

3. Added Usable Space

Whether the awning is over a door or a patio, it creates a space that can now be used more often. In the heat of the sun, it offers shade and a cool place to step under. When it’s raining, it creates a dry shelter. What before may have been an unusable area is now a breeze filled outdoor space that’s easy to enjoy. Any part of your home’s exterior that’s covered by fabric awnings is also kept out of the elements, protecting those spaces from wear and tear.
