From Meek to Chic: Using Paint to Modernize a Brick Exterior on a Colorado Springs Home
When it comes to home exteriors, brick is a classic. In fact, certain traditional and historic homes owe much of their inherent charm to the way brick was incorporated into their design, and a brick’s natural variations in color and texture can be a source of character.
When Brick Isn’t Doing the Trick
But what if you live in a home with a brick exterior that’s doing nothing special? Maybe the combination of the home’s style and the use of brick results in a ho-hum appearance – at least in your opinion.
You might find this lack of flair especially painful if you love a sleek, modern look. What could you do to modernize the exterior and make your home “pop”? You’re about to find out.
Learning to Love a Brick House You Wanted to Leave
The frenzied real estate market over the past year, both in the Colorado Springs area and nationwide, made it necessary for many people to buy homes they weren’t exactly in love with. Inflated home prices and low inventory forced people to “settle.”
Others have been living in less-than-ideal homes that they regarded as temporary, with a plan to buy a home that better suited their style. However, the market made these folks stay put and make do for longer than they anticipated.
As a result, we’re seeing homeowners take a fresh look at their imperfect properties and finding creative ways to make them more lovable.
For example, a quiet, typical brick façade can be completely transformed into something chic, contemporary and fun with well-chosen exterior paint. You’re going to see a fantastic example!
