Plain front of house
We have a 1980's bungalow with fantastic views. The front of the house though is very plain. I have had the paths around the house paved which has made some improvement but the house still looks ver flat. I was wondering whether some sort of wood cladding around the door slightly projecting off the wall may give it some depth and character. The back of the house is fine it's just the front that's very flat and plain. Any ideas welcome but on a budget. Thank you.

These walls look too plain beside Red Brick wall, any ideas please?
Comments (20)I agree deepen the color, don't change it and yes art art art! maybe lessen the presence of the brick with the earlier suggestion of the metal cogs its and use traditional artwork pics/nature/paintings on the painted wall. I also like the idea to paint the part of the wall that juts out in a darker shade of the same color. Now you have lots to consider and lots to dismiss as well. Good luck and have fun...See MoreFront garden beds and improving street appeal.

2 months agoAt first I thought a porch as they can really improve the frontage of a plain house but I noticed the roof is quite low. I then spotted these porches which would work with rendering, cladding and a low roof?

Just one example by us.
