Trim/Siding Paint Color for 60s Brick Ranch
Comments (22)soooo .. if i understand.. you dont really mind the front facade ... its more the sides that are bothering you ... thats where the monotone is.. to your eye ... i guess i dont know why you would not just change the sides??? but boy.. looking at the side .. i have no clue where i would go with those vertical lines .... and that tiny window... yikes ... but i still like the front as it is ... part of your side problem.. could be accomplished with trellises.. and introducing a vertical element to your foundation plantings ... that is part of the problem... the vast unbroken wall ... leading you to one vast unbroken color.. whatever it may be ... and i am still flustered by the vertical rather than horizontal siding.. whats that all about.. lol ... just playing devils advocate.. and adding variables for you to consider.. outside the box you are standing in .. props for hunting the area to scope out other paint schemes... its always nice to see it done wrong... lol ... ken...See MoreNeed curb appeal help for a 60's ranch style house.
Comments (9)Could you add a couple of photos that show a bit more to the property lines left and right so we can see everything currently in the front yard? I would make the garage doors and all the trim around them the same color. You don’t want to be drawing attention in that area. The area around the front door I would make brighter with color and good lighting. The shrub in the lawn looks a bit unkempt and isn’t placed with any apparent logic relating it to anything else in the yard, so I would likely move or remove it. I would want something a couple of feet tall and rounded in the bed of purple groundcover as well as in a pot between the porch and garage.. The walkway and steps look pinched, so widen the steps and make the walkway wider. Change the placement of the walkway a bit to swing out a bit further from the house if you want to place a plant in the ground rather than a pot between the garage and the porch....See MoreHELP: 60s brick ranch exterior
Comments (8)The black railing looks good! I think you're right about the front door color. It is too baby blue. I would do a darker blue almost navy. Something like this blue: You could fill in with some more plants and add some on the other side of the walkway. Look for a ornamental tree to put out in the yard....See MoreUpdate front yard of 60's ranch
Comments (7)bcanty13, please provide two more pictures. Stand where the last photo was taken. Turn your head left and take a picture. Then turn to the right and take a picture. Be sure to stand in the same place. I rarely say this but I like the rock and would keep it. Is there more that does not show? I know you are only landscaping at this time but I painted your house for future ideas. I might plant something like Pennisetum Little Bunny in front of the deck....See Morejck910
