How to improve the curb appeal

jsbonelli
4 anni fa

We are considering an offer on this house. The neighborhood is very 1970’s. What could we do to improve the curb appeal? We would want to paint for sure. Any colors or ideas would be greatly appreciated! The roof is new and there is rock fascia behind the landscaping to consider. Thanks!

    I like the exterior colors in this inspiration pic for your home. You would need to experiment to see what works for your potential home above. These colors are a little bold :) if you like the color scheme I think it would really work with the brown roof and the treed lot behind the house. It would be striking to have the blue green siding and natural wood elements IMO.

      Is this home in an HOA?

      If so, are there color restrictions in the HOA documents? In my area it's common for the HOA to restrict colors and have to approve any exterior changes including those changes to landscaping and painting.

      Your potential home needs a complete redo of the landscaping. I'll let others show you potential on the landscaping front.

      Denita, there is an HOA so that would be a consideration. I was thinking some type of grey/taupe.

      Good landscaping would make a big difference.

      I agree that house color should be changed, but don't have a way to show it. I also think the stone veneer ought to be removed, or at minimum painted over to something much more subtle.

      It would be a more inviting entrance if the landscape area left of entrance was replaced with expanded landing. I would simplify landscape, deepening the bed, and eliminate all growing along the drive edge, penning it in and screening the entrance.

      It's a likely bet that a small tree or two is needed, but the view is not conducive to figuring out where/how that might be.

      What I am wondering about, more than paint color and landscaping is. Does that driveway come down from a street that is higher than where the house sits? If that is the case, make sure that all the rain water isnt running down that drive, and either under the house and garage itself, or into a basement, if it has one, or causing any other water damage in the house itself. Might be something to check into, before making an offer, if water running towards the house is actually a problem. Its very hard to tell from the one photo you posted.

      Looks like a brown roof. Gray probably isn't a good paint choice if that is the case.


      There is a house near me with a brown roof and painted beige-almost-gold. I know what you are thinking - yuck. But it's a really pretty color. If I can find it again on my walk, I will try to get a pic.

      The yellow is nice, not too bright. The green trim is pretty awful. Pick a color that goes with the yellow --- an orangish brown, for example. White is classic, too. The rock veneer is barely visible, just leave it. If you hate it, grow bigger shrubs in front of it.

      To add to the ideas on landscaping, I think you also need more variation in the shape and texture of the bushes/small trees near the home. This gives you some idea - not the best since I
      Am Editing while in the car, but you get the idea.

      Cat_ky, the house sits up from the street so I don’t think water will flow up but thanks for the thought, I am posting another picture of the rock fascia. Thanks for all the comments from the Houzzers.
