Give me some facade ideas to improve street appeal!

Page 1 of 1
Hi all,

We have an older (60's) home that we've largely updated internally over the years, but it remains a real plain Jane in terms of street appeal.

The front door is going to be flipped adjacent to where it is located currently (i.e. right next to where it is, but on the longer front wall), and the roof/guttering is booked in for a full replacement.

Beyond that I'm chasing some inspiration and suggestions on what else we could do to improve the existing facade. Thinking of things like paint colours, feature cladding - particularly something around the section that pushes out on the front right hand side, gardens (I know, we're not gardeners!), need a portico cover over the entrance, etc. Even replacing windows with something more modern could be an option.

Throw your ideas at me, please!!

Damien



Widen the front gable to incorporate a covered porch for the front door would bring a huge improvement. Then add some plants and voila!
