How to modernise the exterior of this house??
Comments (9)Sound like good ideas to me. Orange door would look good with dark grey render. Stain any timber work charcoal. Also add horizontal boards at the house gable. Incorporate the low wall in the front fence idea by making it higher - maybe just slats so the garden can be seen through it. The mail box could be in there too. Make a further statement with fast growing trees to create an arch over the entry gate....See MoreLooking at buying this house how can I modernise this kitchen?
Comments (3)Easy one,change handles and remove glass on range hood (yes you can!and yes I have!) Remove tiles and get some new ones for splash back and contine upwards towards the ceiling and tile over the laminate behind taps.It gives a good continuation and easier on the eye reducing the look of the cupboards. I would invest in a really beautiful large mixer from someone like Reece and a nice light fixture both of these in chrome for wow factor. And dressed up with a simple but beautiful platter for fruit.And a jug both in a stainless material from somewhere like House....See MoreHow to modernise our 80s house facade and incorporate a porch
Comments (11)Love the 80' house, because you have a lot of sun to deal with a pergola from just above the front door running along the garage wall (minus the furniture) you could set a clear roof on top of the slats for shelter from rain. could even consider a similar pergola at a lower level running across from the front entrance and above the two front windows, these can be built to help block summer sun. Maybe render the garage wall to break up the brick and paint same as the garage door and timber above, this looks pale beige /grey, then this colour above windows remembering that window and door frames are cream, they can be painted. please keep the 80's door celebrate it....See MoreHow should we modernise our quirky older house?
Comments (15)I'd be different , and wouldn't go too dark -- I'd almost consider a light grey or a sandstone or even a very light green/grey as the main colour , with the windows and shutters in the crisp white . Boring eh ? THEN though , I'd do the gutters and garage door in the brightest red or orange or yellow -- that balances out the crisp white features . And then , I'd do a largish sloping pergola about twice the width of the front veranda entrance( basically about as wide as the edge of the windows -- maybe 4-5metres , and coming out around 2 metres . The higher edge would be above that 'break' line , and therefore camoflauge that . Personally , I'd do it in a nice mid red type stain ( or use a rich timber and varnish it ) , but charcoal would work and contrast too . I'd levae the bricks , waterblast the drive , add a couple of big glossy terracotta pots ( maybe 1metre or more tall ) in the same colour as your gutterings , with cactus or similar -- these can even be added later as budget permits . Depending on your skills , it would be pretty budget ( maybe under $10K ? ) but it would really lift the look . Just an idea ....See MoreDonna
