What makes a house look aesthetically pleasing?, No, I'm serious. Options

[alison-apples]

I'm talking about what you see on the outside. The paint. The fence. The yard. The porch. All of that shit.

What makes a house look good? What makes a house look bad? Why do some houses look boring and why do others look great?

Why are trailer parks so frowned upon?

Personally, I think Painted Ladies are where it's at, personally. Those Victorian-era folks knew how to do it right.

There are many factors that go into making a house look pleasing in my opinion. Usually if the house has a clean GREEN law with some nice flora out in the front THAT DOSENT DIE, it would catch my attention, also houses with earthy colors, non of that pink or bright crap. Going with the subtle yellows and light blues will look aesthetically pleasing. Also if a house is sort of elevated. When you ride up in rich neighborhood, usually the houses sit on top of a small hill and the driveway elevates to the house (this is good luck in Asian cultures). New exterior, no wood paneling if the wood is rotting, so I would go with the stucco. And you cant forget the clean details like white border trimmed windows on a light blue or yellow house, or rod looking modern steel windows on houses with a white background. Also if its a suburban house, the lighting at night is important too, like the solor lamp lights :]
