This house is for sale in a lovely area and has a workable floor plan and amenities. How on earth do you remedy the double-wide exterior?

Remodel the exterior of this house to a more tropical look
Comments (5)Since you have white and black windows, fans, doors, gates, you need a light tan beige rather than an off white cream - off white will just look dirty next to the white. Something that goes warm neutral instead of yellow will work well. Tropical can mean lots of different things to different people - pick one accent color - a lagoon type green-blue-green with large leafy palms, and add a sail shade (triangle shaped) in the same tone to the upper deck....See MoreHow can I hide an existing column in the kitchen
Comments (5)You could use the column for something useful like hanging utensils or cooking tools if you have the height or a towel rack or if you want to just hide it you could put fairy lights on/around it to give a homely feel.my personal opinion would be if there is a ledge you should get some vintage alcohol bottles and put them there as decoration and it works nice in most households.if no ledge just get a wine rack and screw it to the column...See MoreCan't find the Advice photos?

9 years agoMany MCM homes have pergolas, across the whole house or part of it. If your budget stretches to it, it would look wonderful.
I love the mix of grey and natural wood in some of these.

9 years agoEven with just paint, you can emphasize the low lean lines yet break up the length with a change in paint color. It cuts the length of the house in a good proportion. The bright door is a classic modern touch.
The arch above the window and the oval in the door should be de-emphasized if possible, since they are more traditional touches.
If budget permits, the addition of natural wood instead of one of the painted colors, would be attractive.
The existing porch, railings and steps are functional, and should be painted the same color as the house, using concrete or metal paint as appropriate. At some point, a covering over the porch, following the roofline, would be attractive. Often these modern homes have a narrow pergola across doorway and extending along the house. See the pictures above.
Beautiful home, just needs to pull together one look. I see it as modern because more traditional homes usually have a different roof line - and that's expensive to change.
