The facade of the house can be compared with the person’s face in the sense that the first impression of others is precisely due to the assessment of his appearance and condition. A well -groomed and tidy view of the house creates a positive first impression on guests and visitors, and also increases its value and sets a high level of design level for all neighbors. Initially, at the construction stage, finishing materials have already been selected that could be: glass, stone, wooden elements or aluminum facades of buildings. However, in this article we will consider some techniques to increase the attractiveness of an already built house with the help of some simple techniques.
Update painting, if it should be, the facade part of the house. You should know that the lighter the color, the more visually the size of the house. For painting, it is better to use the color that harmonizes with houses in the neighborhood, adding some individual notes. This can be done by painting the elements of the finish otherwise with the main color with paints. Window frames, a roof line, shutters and a dividing line of floors, painted in a contrasting color, will pleasantly distinguish the architectural elements of the house.
You can think about updating windows by installing new or even changing their shapes and sizes. This is also an excellent occasion to establish energy -saving windows that will save the budget on heating the house in winter or cooling it in the summer. Together with the windows, you can update the entrance doors that would suit them according to the style.
The update will also not damage the porch, the floor and railing of which can also be painted. If there is such an opportunity, you can hang a swinging chair for several people to the porch roof, where it will be pleasant to spend quiet evenings. If such an opportunity is excluded, you can simply put several wicker chairs with decorative pillows on them, as well as a small table.
The facade of the house is not only its front wall and the architectural elements located on it, but also a lawn in front of the house. To plant decorative grass or several young trees in front of the house will be an excellent solution. If bushes or weaving plants are already planted there, they can be rejuvenated by cutting old branches.
Around the house and on the sides of the entrance alley, you can plant small flowers and plants or even put flower pots. You can plant not only flowers, but also some perennial and evergreen plants. The combination of their neatly stones, like small boulders of pebbles or granite, looks very beautiful.
The facade of the house at night will pleasantly delight the eye thanks to the renewal of lighting. Moreover, with the development of LED technologies, electricity consumption will practically not hit the family budget. So, you can illuminate the entrance alley and the perimeter of the house, as well as install a new sconce next to the front door. In addition, sconces can be done with your own hands using an old bird cage or an unused kerosene lamp.
In general, there is nothing complicated in updating the facade, you only need a desire, a little time and a little fantasy.
