corbels or no corbels?

8 years ago

Thinking about adding some Mediterranean flare by adding exterior corbels to the roof lining.

I drew up a (low quality) mock-up; what do you think — corbels or no corbels?

My vote is no. With the stone and brick there is already a lot going on. Adding those would probably not give you the Mediterranean flair you're looking for but would just looked like pasted on pieces that muddle the look of the house.

You have a very nice looking home and I don't think it needs this.

None of at the above.

If you just gotta' do something, upgrade the windows.

I'm actually for the corbels, but only on the garage. Add shutters to the stacked windows and paint your fascia and soffits a deeper color so they pop from the brick.

Your curtain color cheapens the look in my opinion. H to the no on corbels.

None of your ideas enhance the home significantly.

Your home is lovely. Let it stand proud as is. Christian: "curtain color"? Seriously!! White is white.

The idea by Bev ends up in front of the vents which already are a detail. That layering doesn't work IMPO.

Not sure wood brackets would enhance your home. Also not sure about adding keystones in the arches. Kinda hard to tell if they are already in place or if they are rendered in. Would suggest that you paint the house if it were all brick but would probably not paint it since there is also stone.
