How do I make a really UGLY house livable?
Comments (5)Your furniture will already improve the space. Lounge.. Face your lounge towards fire place. Dark textured rug. Make sure the rug sits just under the couch. Colourful textured cushions. Replace mirror with large clock. Lowline TV cabinet in corner. Bookcase, get MDF cut to fit in the back of each shelf. Either paint or wallpaper. I notice there is blinds in the sun room, so remove the curtains. Then add large colourful artwork. Dining...much longer wall cabinet, large artwork, replace chandelier for a dome pendant....See MoreHow can we decorate around this wallpaper pattern?
Comments (12)Japanese!! Yes; now you've said that I can't believe that hadn't dawned on me before, but it's probably why I chose it in the first place. I do have a love of Japanese styling and there's quite a bit of it in other rooms of the house. The bedhead is a neutral linen so I think I could get away with some subtle Japanese styling around it. I like the idea of paper lampshades and Japanese style side tables. Thank you....See MoreHow do I beautify an ugly fence?
Comments (51)I have one of those Monika and I would venture to say that you wouldn't be able to cut it flat because with everything around everywhere having the waved top it would look really odd I think, and I doubt whether you would be able to paint it at least until the development is well over or you could find the developers all over you, along with residents who like yourselves have signed to agree to the covenants. A lot of people enter into these developments because there is a better chance of people looking after their properties however I will say that I am the only owner occupied in my part of the street, and I am forever weeding everyone else's garden, picking up the rubbish blown from the sea breeze on new builders not looking after their rubbish and the renters chucking empty beer bottles where they have sat on the steps drinking and throw the bottles into the garden and I actually water the rental alongside me as our gardens join, as yours probably does, and they refuse to water it. I want my place to look nice and if left to these renters it would look like homeless shelters. I think the tall pots and something like the black bamboo could look really good :)...See MoreHow do I make this ugly house look better?
Comments (15)First - fix the proportions. remove the square hedge and possibly second hedge in front of the window. The fence on the right should be moved back in line with edge of house as it is making things look out of proportion. Colours - You need more contrast - keep the bricks, paint the garage darker, maybe charcoal. The arch - The arch around the entry is a bit off putting - I think it is because it is blocking view of the door. Could it be removed? If not, might first idea is to add some malibu wood paneling near the door or make a little wooden entry deck in the malibu. Second idea is to grow some vines or greenery on it. and remove the three little scrubs. Or instead of vines add two big potted plants on each side of the arch to make it more welcoming. Hope that helps Best of luck...See MoreSammy Elder
