Curb Appeal

Curb appeal! That’s the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the exterior of our homes. At LGID, the perfect project allows us to get started early, and we talk about every facet of your home, from the inside to the outside, and how each aspect transitions into each other. The exterior of your home is the true start of our journey into the aesthetic of your interiors. It sets the tone for your home!

During our discovery meeting with you we ask a lot of questions like: do you want your home to be bold and dramatic, calming with earth tones, or to feel like a Parisian Villa? Then we brainstorm on how to make your dream a reality, determining where and how we will incorporate the charm. For example, for a French Country home, we would want the base color to be an ivory tone with pale shutters, the style of the shutters and doors to have soft arches.  These details are what start bringing the home together.

As we discuss the types of finishes, we recommend, we consider what works best for how and where you live. If you’re by the beach, we know certain finishes won’t hold up to the saltwater air and what kind of upkeep needs to be considered. You may be drawn to a beautiful natural Ipe, but are you ready for the upkeep? These are questions that should be taken into consideration when making your exterior selections.  We are here to educate and guide you through these decisions.

After this discovery meeting, your head may be spinning. We throw a lot at you! To help you see your dream home come to life, we can either provide a simple elevation to show the color and finishes together or we provide a rendering which can look closer to your actual completed home.  Our hope is for this to excite you for the journey you are embarking on!
