beautifies
Adds visual appeal
Beautifies means makes beautiful or more attractive.
The word applies to cosmetic improvements—landscaping that beautifies a neighborhood, makeup that beautifies the face, renovations that beautify a building.
The new murals really beautify the downtown area.
The term can sound promotional or bureaucratic: The city's Beautify Our Streets initiative.
