    I thought it was pretty obvious. One window...asymmetrical.  it looks awkward. Wanting ideas on how to improve curb appeal.

    Unless this is the front of your house I don't think it's the end of the world. There must be some reason why there isn't a window on the other side. Which room is in that part of the second floor?

    Its the front of the house 😅🙈 the other side is a closet and they were trying to maximize space

    Probably helpful to show the entire house too.

    I don't think there is much you can do about the asymetrical window. It is what it is. What is your budget and much of a scope of work are you wanting to do? If you have a wider angle shot we could comment more on wether something can be achieved on the ground level that might distract from the window more. Did you choose these garage door colors or do you want them to change?

    Where is the front entry? I understand that this is the front, but it probably is not the entire front of the house/property. You need to show how this fits with the rest of the house. Landscaping is often the answer to many 'curb appeal' issues, though not all, but with only being able to see the garage doors and driveway, it leaves no view for people to help with landscaping. Also, your style would be a factor as well...for example, lessening the stark look with a narrow pergola over the garage might work if it can be done in a style that doesn't clash with the house itself.

    Another lazy post. I'm always amazed at the people who come on here looking for FREE advice but can't be bothered to take the time to provide useful photos and a clear explanation of what their design dilemma is. Not to mention not taking the time to proofread the title of their post.

    If there was a designer and architect involved I would think you built or extensively remodeled this house. How did you not notice it earlier?

  • 3 years ago

    The obvious solution is to add windows. Including the option of replacing the existing unit with a larger one. Everything depends on fitting into the full front facade. An interior closet location would lead to those windows being covered.

    I believe the OP has left Houzz.

  • 3 years ago

    Yep the OP left.

    I'd probably leave if I got some of these harsh responses as well. Some people are new to posting here, are new to even thinking about what is involved in asking for an opinion.

    IMO then reread your qiestion before posting it. It is reasonable to ask to see the whole house for context and IMO not sure how that is rude .

    I did not know they still made that type of garage doors?

    I think the op has left the buliding. I always just love OPs that answer no questions and just go away. Or come back 3 months later with the same question feeling that if they repeat they will get the answer they want. I agree about the garage doors I have not seen those for a long time

    Let’s give the OP a break. It’s a holiday week and the OP just posted yesterday 😁

    Took their self described "awful design" and left the building, page not found. Imagine that needs info and context to be able to offer advice and the OP gets offended..............................

    The OP deleted her account - you can tell by clicking on the username.

    The garage doors are commercial rollups, not overhead sectional doors.

    I know OP is gone, but I kinda like the garage doors! They remind me of a retro camper.

    I think she should park that camper near the house - they would be fantastic together.

    I think this was a joke.
