10 Envy-Inducing Front Yards With Curb Appeal to Spare

For lovers of the outdoors, rest and relaxation are found in the peaceful comfort of a forest hideaway. Just in case your troubles don't melt away with the help of the shrubs and trees, the babbling brook and waterfall will do the trick.

And for other people, happiness is only a beach away. Simple, tropical accents and icons, with the help of local flora and fauna, can transform a house’s facade from simple, shabby shack to the ultimate vacation home.

From selfies to front yards, lighting is key. Embracing twinkly, unexpected light fixtures and combining them with stones, trees and a creek all make for a jaw-dropping first impression. Of course, a backdrop including mountain views isn’t bad either.

According to science, humans are attracted to symmetry. If that’s to be believed, then a front yard’s curb appeal is at its highest with symmetrical features, from trees and potted plants to patriotic flags. When everything is in its proper place, it’s at its most regal.
