Need help with kerb appeal of exterior
Comments (20)Hi missmjbs, I've added a couple of photos, I need a second coat (too windy today - I don't want grit and bugs stuck in my paint!) I'm still a little uncertain about the green and was wondering myself about a cream or a more grey green... however I think you'll agree it looks quite a lot different! I don't think my partner will allow painting of the garage doors - I'm still working on that......See More1960s terrace in desperate need of curb appeal!
Comments (13)I think you've had some great suggestions already. I like your original idea of painting the garage door a sage colour which you could then pick up elsewhere with painted planters/window cils. A nice outdoor light above the house number will help to draw focus. Whilst I do generally prefer 3 panel glazed windows I think due to the fact the neighbours either side have ones similar to your current ones I'd go for more or less the same. The only change I'd make is ensuring you mirror the split top window across all of them so it ties in nicely with the top garage windows. A completely new driveway would probably make the greatest difference to the curb appeal. Something that sweeps around towards the door would be nice. You could then plant up the corner patch to help provide some visual interest and depth....See Moremaximising kerb appeal - front door colour thoughts!
Comments (21)@Barbara S Just good old Photoshop! @pipparini Another way to go about this is to paint the door your all time favorite colour. It will put a smile on your face every time you come home! And be sure to paint it blue when you are about to sell :)...See MoreKerb appeal for front of bungalow
Comments (11)I don’t think this house has zero curb appeal. I also don’t think you have to build forwards to add to the appeal. For me the main thing is the front path and the front door: Assuming budget allows I would spend on hard landscaping- I would put block paving on the roadside gravel area, remove the current steps and front path and instead have a extra wide path (3m wide by the door and driveway reducing to no less than 1.8m in the middle) that curves from the corner of the drive to the front door. I would raise the path to front door level and slope it gently to avoid any need for steps. I would also build this path in the same block paving you choose for the gravel area. If the garden is lower either side of the path then fill the gap with shrubs. I would also consider replacing the front door- in my humble opinion the current door looks dated and if a replacement had a matching panel to the right where the wood cladding is currently the door would appear larger and have more presence. You might also consider a matching garage door. I would also spend on lighting the path and putting downlights in the soffits to light the house at night. A few LEDs will cost very little a year to run all evening. You could also consider having the roof cleaned....See MoreSonia
