Need help improving curb appeal
We have removed the front wall and extra large bush so we can fit 2 cars on the drive ... we are hoping to paint the pebble dash and change the porch door.
Do you have any ideas of how to improve curb appeal?

Help, what colour front door for improved curb appeal ??
Comments (20)Thank you Celerygirl and everyone else. I think I have made my decision now for now. Black !!! I am going to have the door frames, sidelights and door in Black and centralised, the brick work extended at the top of the frame and a roof light installed in the roof. Its exactly what I didn't think I wanted but what sits right with me. Many thanks for all of your help I will update you all with the result in November when we are due to carry out the work....See MoreImprove kerb appeal
Comments (9)Just a few things:- I don't think you need to make a radical change, however, the thing that stands out most is the fact that the wall all around is crumbling. The wall at the forefront shows the worst damage, so i would be tempted to render that to improve it. Also, nearer the top up by the front door, the frontage does not match with the other side and it has very dated stone inserts. I would also remove that part so that it matches the other side. Although this time of year is awful for the garden, I think it's better to present it as tidy as possible with no dead plants and a little greenery, so maybe you could put a couple of evergreen standard box up by the front door. I don't think huge changes are needed, but the wall won't help as it's dated and crumbling, so if you can make it look better, prospective buyers will not think that they may need a new wall soon after they move in. It also makes for a better looking entrance to the property and invites you in more....See MoreWanting to improve kerb appeal.....
Comments (5)Perhaps only render or clad the part which currently has the dark bricks and maybe change the stone effect lower parts to dark grey bricks as in Sonia’s second photo. You would then still conserve some of its original look but in a contemporary manner....See MoreImprove kerb appeal of my house plans
Comments (0)I am converting my bungalow to a house. The plans have been approved and I'm wondering how I can maximise the kerb appeal. I'm planning for; Red roof tiles, k render top half of the house in polar white and red brick for the lower half. I then want windows that are Painswick / Agate grey (similar RAL colours are RAL7038 OR RAL7035). The windows are all set at ceiling height so I can't raise them but I'd love to have one of these longer windows that you see on houses nowadays, (say about 40% longer than it is currently). I don't particularly need this but from the outside do you think this would improve the look of the house? If so which window should I make the longer one? Any other ideas on how to improve the kerb appeal? The colours that I am thinking of putting together will they work? Any suggestions are welcomed. In terms of windows; I am thinking plain glass only, or a cross through each pane or 1 horizontal bar in the middle of each pane. What do you think? What colour front door? This is the front elevation Below is a picture of a house that I like and could model ours on this basis, the only difference is I will have red bricks on the lower half of the house. I would like something that is not ultra modern as I do not want to end up with a house that looks dated, but I do like the modern exteriors too! Any ideas? Thanks...See MoreR Mederick

3 years agoThank you very much for sharing your thoughts. The front of the house is abit of an eye sore at the moment , but I can’t wait to share a photo with you all once it is complete !
I’ve attached the Farrow & Ball colours I’m enjoying atm. Are you able to recommend similar colours from other exterior paint companies? Maybe that are even pailer in tone ? Might have to be a custom mix . As I like the idea of white with a hint of brown .
