Comments (4)Not sure where you're located, but a gravel driveway may help to soften the house versus asphalt or concrete. Soften up the area with grasses. Here's a link to a photo of grasses with a hot color palette http://www.spacemakerpress.com/catalogue/catimages/st05imgb.jpg You can always choose a more muted color palette as well. I would definitely tier the plan heights so they're taller against the house and gradually get lower. It would help to bring the house to human scale and not appear towering above. The pathway could be in a natural stone - the same color as the gravel driveway (if you can do gravel)....See MoreNeed ideas for small beach house update

They can be washed to soften them up and used as bedcovers or throws over older upholstered furniture. They can be used as drapery or shower curtains by adding clip rings. They can even be used as floorcloths or wall hangings. Hope you can use at least one of these ideas!...See MoreWood panel wall

If you can't raise the floor (and the ceiling?) you might consider building in some comfortable seating/storage areas that use pillows/cushions and play up the multi-level idea and make it look intentional. Similar in concept to the stepped couch....See Moredreamer
