The Bunnings Workshop community can help with your home improvement projects.
I was hoping to get some ideas from the amazing community. We bought our home not too long ago, but I really dislike the front of our home. It might have the worst curb appeal on the whole street and is one of only two that were designed like this. All the others are just as small, but look very homely. Every time I decide I am going to paint it, or do anything, it becomes daunting and I worry I will make it worse. Thank you in advance.
Hi @JoshuaA
I see what you mean it is hard space to work with.
But here is some of my ideas, Some lush greenery will transform that space.
So for starters,
That wall with the two small windows, I would like to green wall it possibly over the whole wall and the windows to (ie green diffused light in doors and privacy too.
That corner garden with the cordyline is crying out for a feature tree a beatiful weeping acer 2 meters tall max or a gardinia or magnolia to cover the ugly wall spaces there, Keep it trimmed up over the path like an arch.
Or from the cordyline garden an garden curved arch up over the path to the other garden bed . The round shape will offset the flat roof angles.
Pick a bright distinct front door inviting color.
Bright colorfull flowers along the front fence to offset the white walls.
It would be great if those plants down the sides grow up 3 meters and cover the fence but do prune them flatish against the fence so entery is not closterphobic
Well just my 5 cents worth .
I dont think you need to paint the house I dont think that would change alot.
Workshop is a friendly place to learn, get ideas and find inspiration for your home improvement projects
We would love to help with your project.
