70s or 80s contemporary paint or facelift

5 years ago

I'm in love with this 80s contemporary home, and thinking of purchasing it-- wondering what's the best way to brighten up the paint and curb appeal.

What I have in mind is adding wood accents, painting siding and leaving or staining the brick? I know landscaping would help of course but from a paint perspective, what colors or accents should go where?

If I hired a professional to help, would I be looking for a landscaper, architect or designer? We love the home's shape and windows (though we want black ones). This is more of a paint color and landscape- I'd like to preserve the character of the home. The roof is new and there's a garage door behind that car. Hope this is enough-- would appreciate your ideas/suggestions!

It is difficult to tell from the photo....is the roof dark brown? I am assuming so... Love your house! I wouldn’t paint the brick as I think it looks good with your cedar siding. You might experiment (via software) with really dark bronze black siding. That might make it more dramatic. SW Urbane Bronze 7055

Not a pro. I agree that black windows would be an improvement. Otherwise, I would not be inclined to change much, if anything. It looks like a beautiful house in a beautiful location!

Thank you both! I love that Urbane Bronze color! Added many pics of it to my board. It's hard to see but yes the roof is a dark brown.

Thank you again! The black windows are about the only thing we are sure of 🤣

A view in (hopefully) better light!
