Here at Allmix we love a concrete driveway but what happens if you want to increase your curb appeal but you don’t have much space or land to have a big driveway. Let’s look at some of the ways a concrete driveway can be adapted to a small space to ensure the best curb appeal and add value to your home.
Use colour and texture –
The use of colours and textures within your concrete driveway can make the area seem larger than it is. Using light shades of grey, soft pastille colours or beige can help to reflect light and make the driveway look more expansive.
Smooth textures are usually recommended for smaller concrete driveway areas as they seem less cluttered and give an illusion of more space.
Green Space –
If the area for the concrete driveway isn’t huge but you still want to have curb appeal and add value to your home some green space will really help to add character. The use of plants around the door area or some green borders on the driveway really will make the difference here.
Have a clear pathway –
A clear pathway means that the smaller area is still concise and practical. This will show that there is still a safe and clear way to access the home which is always a great way to add value.
Straight or curved –
When space is limited, a straight driveway is often more practical as you can easily park your cares and there is less wasted room on the edges of the driveway.
Use your walls and boundaries-
Make the most of your smaller space with walls and boundaries being used to increase the curb appeal using climbing plants and trellises. Wall decorations help to increase aesthetic appeal without any space being compromised.
