How to Stain Brick — A 4-Step Guide to Refresh Your Home's Exterior and Increase Curb Appeal

Modern home with simple modern planting in the front yard.

With curb appeal gaining importance as summer sets in, we've been daydreaming of lively home exteriors that make a good first impression on guests and neighbors alike. The exterior of a home plays a significant role in setting the vibe you want to continue inside, so failure to invest in your outdoor space can make for a sorry sight. We say we shouldn't judge a home by its cover but, if we're being honest, we all do.

Here, we consulted the experts on how to give our exteriors a refresh, and they've told us exactly what we need to do to bring our bricks back to life. It may take some time and effort, but it'll also make your home the brightest on the block.
