Face-lift for exterior of 60's house. Advice please?
Comments (5)Thank you both. Unfortunately the door is uPVC so can't be painted ... Yes I can see that the path should be wider too - any suggestion for colour? Light grey or beige (don't like that word!)? Can anyone offer ideas for the garden - some kind of boundary and also planting?...See MoreRevamp a 60's bungalow exterior
Comments (17)Hello joolstc, I like the tiles! I think they just need a bit of attention perhaps they could be replaced or painted something like brick and tile paint and the colour they should be rather than anything else here. I definitely feel these have an impact on the style and I would not remove them unless you were to replace them as they are. They add texture to the house and are actually rather interesting with the cladding... What is not so attractive is the upvc. If you can't replace this aspect you can paint it! There are companies that supply a range of colours and you can breathe new life into this facade with a darker colour for example.. Add some plants and architectural foliage.. I can see a monkey puzzle or something equally interesting on that piece of grass... Some large pots either side of the front door and possibly something green in the windows either side of the two large opening windows.. Fiddle leaf figs would look wonderful... Consider something quite large for a room setting... Large vertical blinds would be great for the whole house and I'd definitely keep these.. Now I'm moving on to the idea of what's inside the house! : ))...See MoreHelp with 60’s style exterior
Comments (20)Thank you so much that’s great!!! I will show my husband tonight. Yeah you might be right about not rendering. The other houses are all either this colour brick or a brown/red brick but the same style so I was worried about it standing out too much. Unfortunately the brick wouldn’t go that light though. Even when cleaned it’s very yellow with black flecks in it. I’ll try and attach a picture of the internal brick before we painted it. The conservatory will go as it’s leaking and quite old and I’d rather have some smart bifold doors leading onto a patio. It’s also brown so wouldn’t match the new glazing as we would either go with white grey or black. Here is a picture of the brick......See MoreIdeas Needed to Update 60s Front!
