I have a uninspired Art Deco / Spanish style house that needs livening up. Any suggestions. There is a mix or Alu windows ( silver white tone) and original wooden windows that could be painted. This is in a beach town... Thanks.
dark gray with white windows and a bright front door.
or stay white, and punch up the window trim with blue, and the door. or pale green. or even the orange tone for the window trims and a light yellow for the house color.
You could add some cute touches as here: such as wood trim around the windows. And love those red geraniums at the windows. From what I can see, I would address that black top and have more fun with the landscape.
Can you show us more shots of the yard, front door, etc.?
If you live in CA like me, lose the lawn. It doesn't go with the beach/spanish vibe anyway. Add a patio or crushed rock. Add vines, water feature instead.
I like the colorful tiles shown on the step risers here. Plus the blending of the different paving materials.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try to attach rounded tiles where I can to make it more Spanish. Also love the idea of attaching Spanish style tiles to fronts of steps etc. I will definitely do bright contrasting front door, and I really like the window flowers idea to break up all the walls. Landscaping is my strength, so got that sorted, and will begin that first. There is too much focus currently on parking spaces, and not enough on outdoor living.
What do you guys think of this colour. I am happy to paint over the aluminium windows with whatever colour would suit best.
