the view of garage has has that "blind eye" look with the tall blank wall above the garage door ..although west facing overheating could be a problem, consider a window above the garage door and contrast colour for the garage door and what is the purpose of the upstairs awning, is this a balcony for an upstairs room? feels as though there should be doors or a windows in this space

Contrast the garage door like suggested or just paint the decorative trim above it.

Pressure clean your drive way.

For the front paint the decorative trim . The interesting lines to the left the same colour to tie it in.

Change your balusters to squarish looking one to modernise and same colour as trim.

the front wall to the left of the steps with the attached square columns is one of the best features of the house and can be appreciated for itself and would be a shame to cover it up although, subject to suitable climate and position some architectural plants like tree ferns, cycadds or grass trees would look great and it's a fabulous looking house whatever the name of the style although i would prefer a a much cooler colour scheme especially if u was brave enough to paint different sections of wall in different shades of grey and white with dark grey and black trims

colours are so personal and look different in different light and what looks perfect in my cold climate may look washed out in Queensland...i suggest you check with the colour advice services available with most major paint companies..the service available locally has a fee that is refundable as a discount with the purchase of paint..having suggested a professional my amateur opinion is to leave the original roof alone (clean?) the style and colour of the unusual terracotta tiles add a flavour of Spanish style to the house and is a point of difference with all the other bland roofs.. i think a simple off white like Colorbond Surfmist for the main walls with all the eaves and vertical columns and the beams across the windows in a bright white, with a colour to highlight stone steps (copper?) for the front door, Woodland Grey for the railings and windows and one or two turquoise coloured chairs and a small table on the front terrace

Hi there, I would like to see some cladding to bring it up to date, the second photo reflects back to art deco with the columns and the details above the entrance and then again above the garage. attaching some rough ideas to try and show timber cladding which could be used in more places. we have a house near us about to under go big changes with adding cladding to the natural l brick cheers PS the circle window above the garage would allow heat to escape

Hi,

Paint first, probably a navy/dark blue? I would then use white cladding to highlight the split in the storeys. From here I would use a contrasting material to highlight the vertical architectural features (maybe some honey/golden wood or black metal?). And then add your plants and happy days with your modern house
