Any suggestions on what to do with this sad brick wall?
If it were one colour I wouldn't' care, I like the brick, but it's obviously been previously painted. We've tried power washing to no avail. Thanks.

3 years agoI love a rustic brick wall, but you could paint it white, or dark grey, or any colour you like to smarten it up, if you so wish. The other thing it lacks is plants. As there is no plant bed there, then a couple of plants in huge pots would add character. Star Jasmine is a lovely evergreen scented climber. A climbing rose would also add form and colour. They are available from the palest white to deepest red and any colour inbetween! Good quality Roses are available online from David Austin Roses or Harkness Roses. A nice big evergreen shrub is Fatsia Japonica, looks very exotic yet is really tough (Second pic).
Here’s some pics to hopefully inspire you.

What would you do with this kitchen? Help!
Comments (16)You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet.....See MoreAny suggestions for finishing my kitchen/living room

Comments (8)Your house is very attractive but a little TLC is required. If possible depending on budget limitations, I would do the following to soften the edges and add a manicured, polished yet homely feeling to the house: Area needing attention: Front door and surrounds Issue: Lack of a focal point, has no presence and appears to recess into the house • Remove all potted plants from outside the front door • Remove the seat from under the main window • Rent/borrow a water power washer to clear away the moss/weeds • Paint the front door (if wood) a dolphin grey colour and add a door wreath (radiates warmth) • Purchase 2 potted Bay trees (Laurus Nobilis) to be placed either side of the newly painted front door to frame the doorway • Put up a postbox on the wall to the right of the front door • Add 2 external candle lanterns to enhance the ambience for house viewings...See MoreWhat to do with Fireplace Wall ??
