Dear Team

I wish to make the front of the house more attractive and welcoming,

as usual budgets are limited, but need inspiration and can update it in phases.

We park the car in the "drive". Pallets will be gone shortly.

Awaiting suggestions

Thanks

Shashi

New windows and front update
Q
Comments (2)
Hi. I'm not sure if you're just after window/door ideas? You could do similar to this and clad the 2 windows on the left and render the rest. I'd also go for a modern wood door. Again grey windows with 2 panes on the left, 2/3 on the right and the other 2 single. If you're keeping the brick I think french grey (more green than grey) windows look great against red brick but it's not such a contemporary look. Is the long window by the stairs? If so, that may look good if it could be a little longer ( if possible obviously!)

update... ideas for soft/warm white for front of house? RAL 9010?
Q

Hi kl55hp, RAL 9010 isn't a very warm white, its just the standard white that most radiators & white goods are painted. The RAL colour guide isn't very extensive and doesn't have that many shades. Is there a specific reason for using a RAL colour for paint? You might be better off heading to B&Q and finding a nice swatch card from Valspar, then take that to your local paint merchant and get them to mix you something in that!

How to update the front of my house
Q

For me the issue is that you are attached to neighbours and these houses are designed to be different but have a cohesive thread. When you change the color palate this run of houses no longer sits as comfortably together. Perhaps the Coronation Street house I posted had a story line before your time but Vera Duckworth lived there, had what she wanted and blow the neighbours and of course it adversely affected the look of that street and remains like that many years later. In fact a few years ago Sarah Beaney did a programme called Streets Ahead where they brought together whole streets by undoing peoples “improvements” to unify the look and add value. This programs demonstrated the need to respect your streetscape when spending money on your attached house. The trouble is as soon as you start changing your house it green lights all of your neighbors to also do what they like and before you know it your street is devalued by thousands.

What should we do to update the front of our new home?

I agree - this house is true to its period. You could spend a fortune creating a different look but why? Take up a lot of that block paving and plant a garden. You’ll get a lot more pleasure from that than grey cladding or whatever. With the added bonus that when you look out through your large windows, you’ll actually see what you spent your money on.

Grow a climbing plant and train it to spread along the wall on the left. Put live flowering plants in the hanging basket to the right of your front door and add a row of potted plants beneath the downstairs window and try to conceal the bins. You could paint the fence and scrub the paving stonework with white vinegar and a hard brush to brighten it.

Pressure wash the patio driveway, then bright colourful plants all the way along beneath the window. If you were to unstall shutters or horizontal blinds in the two front windows the house will look very smart from the outside
