Looking for suggestions on updating a split level home
Hi All--
Looking for ideas & suggestions to update the front and siding of our home. Open to keeping brick, but want to make some updates for a more modern feel. Thanks.

3 anni faHoussaon have some good landscaping ideas. My first thoughts....Unless they need replacement, keep your siding, brick, shingles, and give it all a good cleaning. Remove shutters.
Paint all of your trim a dark grey. Modern front and garage doors either in wood tone or same as trim. Modern lighting and house number plaque.
Here are some inspiration photos...do you love any of these? You could achieve any of these looks pretty easily with your house.

3 anni faThank you for all the responses! Glad to give more details - The current siding is damaged/dried out, so we are prepared to get that fully replaced. The brick is still in good shape and we're open to the idea of painting it. We're not able to make any major structural changes, so we want to replace siding/trim and add any other cosmetic updates to the front (thinking of adding 2 columns to front porch area at least, etc..). The windows are also somewhat new, so would not replace those but maybe paint them(?)
Two inspirations:1. White/Black Modern Farmhouse style. Would really love this style, but concerned that this look would not translate well to our split-level unless we made some major structural changes.
2. Light gray siding/white trim and painting the brick white feels like a safer option. We're looking into Hardie Board/fiber cement siding. We're thinking a much lighter shade of gray than the inspo photo below:
Thanks again!Katie B.

black trim and white siding (including brick)-replace shingles with board and batten
-if your windows are wood, paint them black
-you don’t need to do anything structural
-replace or remove handrail on path
-no shutters
-consider doing a pergola at your entry (you could DIY cheap)
lighting...paint doors black

3 anni faUltima modifica: 3 anni faYou’ll never have a farmhouse, of course. But you Can definitely go white/black modern with barn lights and get that vibe. Definitely do something with the railing. You might be able to remove the scroll and rehab the rest. Cable maybe?
Or a hog wire panel
I’d also recommend cedar posts or an arbor at your entrycdhernan ha ringraziato Katie B.

3 anni faThanks again everyone! Looks like we're leaning towards black/white color scheme. I like the idea of adding a pergola, updating garage doors, replacing railing with something more modern, and getting more landscaping up and running. Found this idea recently for inspo too:
Quick draft up here, but thinking something along these lines (the roof is a medium gray color & we're not changing that), but still love to hear any new input!
