Design ideas for front exterior of mid-century style home?
Comments (5)I love your Mondrian inspiration. First, figure out which software you have access to that you can use to experiment with exterior ideas. If you can use Photoshop, you are ahead of the game. I can’t justify the investment, so I limp along with Microsoft PowerPoint and the free Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap. Even if you do 20 or more experiments with color and color placement on the photographic images, it doesn’t cost much money and doesn’t take much time. Keep going until you come up with the right combination. Since the house has shingle siding, I am assuming that you cannot just paint it to get the Mondrian look.

Comments (3)What did you decide to go with? I would have done unpainted brick, but that is just my style. Did you use an architect for your home or go with local builder plans or plans online? I am asking because i am up in Tulsa Ok and starting to plan a small modern home build. I have been looking at plans online, as there seem to be no local modern homes newly built in tulsa except for a couple of mansions. I am reading here on houzz that an architect is the way to go, but I'm afraid that would eat up too much of my budget. Plus i would have no idea how to go about finding a residential architect....See MoreExterior paint color mid century home
Comments (22)I tried gray on bottom and white on top. Don’t like it. You don’t have enough surface on top to do two colors IMO. So I did all Kendall Gray with black trim. Put MCM bright door, since your door is set back, you need a bright color door with glass so light streams through especially at night. I would add house number plaque to front fence. One like this....See MoreCelery. Visualization, Rendering images
