Curb Appeal Ideas: Home Exterior Makeovers

While architecturally interesting, this 1920s Spanish-style home looks unlived in. The washed-out exterior and vine-covered trellis need some work.

This home's new look accentuates its Spanish-style architecture without feeling too themed. An earthy paint color complements the stucco exterior, while Spanish tiles draw attention to the front door and stairs. A new trellis extends all the way across the facade, making the home look wider and giving it more presence from the street.

With the exception of the small capital detail on the porch columns, this beige-and-brown home is devoid of style and character.

Small details – like the exposed rafters under the roof and the stone cladding over the bases of the columns – make a huge impact on this home's exterior appearance. A cheerful, blue-and-white color scheme completes this charming Craftsman's transformation.
