Ideas to make front of home look nicer

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.

Re: Ideas to make front of home look nicer

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.
