Kerb appeal for 1960s/70s house?
Comments (5)Thank you, I'll definitely get painting, I'm googling about painting upvc as we speak, seems a bit confusing and not sure whether I'd be better off getting a professional- if they even exist! Maybe I'll just head to homebase tomorrow for some primer and paint and give some DIY a go! We have a bay tree in a more contemporary pot where the planter was now, but I was also thinking of getting some big timber planters for below the two front windows as a way of adding both timber and structured greenery to the Tarmac and brick combo of the front! I wish I could paint the Tarmac, but it's all uneven too so would probably show that up, I'd love to just tear it all up and replace with gravel but I might wish the Tarmac back once I have a pram or high heels!...See MoreUpdating 1960's house exterior
Comments (46)This is what the exterior looks like so far. We have been approved planning permission to extend single storey, front and side With sky lantern. we are set on a flat roof with wildflower and sedum. Considering keeping the tiles. front door will be moved forward and there will be a window on the left. Not sure what the new render should be for the extension? Brick ? Trying to keep all costs down but Still have a Clean and contemporary finish...... I realise now I should have been braver with the windows!

Comments (5)I would be looking at the rest of the street for inspiration. Personally I wouldn’t make any window colour decision until you have made decisions on cladding. For me the things that date this house are the mismatched window apertures and I think if this house was being designed today a cleaner look would mean no transom windows and instead repeated vertical lines. I think modern houses typically have the front door on the front too and only plan big windows when there is garden or a view in front of them. So I would be looking at the possibility of changing the fenestration adding render and a wood cladding. Don’t forget this will need planning permission...See MoreJane Nuga
