16 Inspiring Curb Appeal Transformations

This Spanish Colonial home was not lacking character, but it definitely fell short on charm. The plastic exterior lighting and absence of color were clearly not making good use of the home's strong architectural features.

Painting the house multiple colors creates an intriguing lighting effect while emphasizing the home's original Spanish style. Additional seating framing the large window and chevron tile accents throughout the front walkway create beautiful landscape scenery.

This house's lack of color and overgrown landscaping found it lost among a neighborhood of Oakland, Calif., homes. After hearing the family history behind the house, HGTV's Curb Appeal host and designer John Gidding was eager to enhance the home's grandeur.

The green paint color, wider window framing and bright red front door create a lively home entrance. Homeowners Melanie Mora and Kris Wong especially love the new portico, which adds more dramatic effect to the front door. Custom-made benches accessorize the front entrance for a comfortable place to enjoy the beautiful curb appeal.
