Comments (6)I really like Beverly’s suggestions. White with wrought iron and maybe dark wood. Unfortunateky, I think your brown roof is the element that’s going to throw off any efforts to modernize the exterior....See MoreExterior paint for house with spanish/contemporary blend of styles
Comments (6)Creamy white or a very light tannish color, like sand , , maybe with a very light touch of green . I’m not a fan of gray exteriors on houses such as yours....See MoreUpdating exterior of late 70s house
Comments (5)You're just looking for a color recommendation? Well, common belief on this forum is that painted brick is not preferred. Does the roof stay? It's hard to tell what color it is presently. And the house is currently mauve? The (black?) shutters stay? I'm a traditionalist. I believe I would do plain old white to go along with the black shutters. You said it's a heavily treed lot so a very light color is probably best. (Unless you'd rather fade the house into its background. Some people do.) Though you didn't ask, I also think a wider, more defined sidewalk would add a lot, along with cutting back the shrubbery at the steps. And I'm envious of your full redbud and blooming daffodils. It was -6 degrees here this morning! 🥶...See MoreImprove exterior of a half Spanish style home
Comments (11)this isn't a spanish style home. you have some arches on the back addtion part. that's it. I mean, it's like walking around w/castanets on your fingers while wearing blue jeans and a tshirt, and calling yourself a flamenco dancer. no offense. If you want more spanish, get a spanish roof tile, get new windows for the front part, spanish style door, and a mediterranea landscape. see how they did this look? or this one. you'd have to stain that concrete driveway too But aside from that, I'd just go w/the vintage mid century look. Like this one: (is this home up in the north part of LA? montecito hgts? Lincoln park area? looks like it. ) First thing I'd do is paint. from the pic it looks like a greenish white. why do you want fencing on top of the wall? Have you checked w/the city first to see if it's allowed? if it is, ask about the spacing of the fencing. sometimes you need a gap in between the planks. If you must do fencing, then make it this style: I'd paint the cinder block wall a darker color and then do your vinyl wood look fencing on top of that. I'd paint the lower portion a dark charcoal, and do a warm, horizontal wood-look plank on top paint your stucco and trim a more modern color that works w/the wood tone I love the dark and white w/the wood...See MoreRelated Professionals
