What solutions to sublimate its facade?
Luxembourg architecture is rich in very different styles, a finding that can be explained by the growing need we have today to customize our interiors. Go beyond the stage of simple cocooning and also emphasize, once is not custom, your exteriors by embellishing your facade carefully to give character to your home and stand out.
The beauty of the authentic
You can opt for raw materials such as stone or wood. The stone will bring an impression of robustness and longevity. The wood, in addition to its insulating properties, will give your home an up-to-date look. Whether you opt for a very modern or more traditional effect, chalet version in the mountains, your facade will attract all eyes.
Reconnect with nature: the plant facade
Like companies bringing greenery into their interiors (see our article page 100), adorn your home with a plant facade. For an effective visual and olfactory effect, incorporate plants that give off a strong scent, such as a honeysuckle or a rosebush. At the slightest breeze, a delicate perfume will infiltrate through the windows left open.
Feel free to mix the textures to give more strength to your facade.
Dare the color
Enjoy a facelift made necessary by the wear of time to bring a touch of color to your home. More and more colors are available on the market (be careful to consult beforehand the planning regulations specific to your place of residence). Note that in the case of a traditional facade facelift, you can apply for financial assistance for the improvement of old housing.
Remember, you do not have to remake everything and apply stucco or plaster uniformly: brought by small keys only on the shutters, the surrounding of windows or at the level of the stage for example, the color will give rise to an interesting contrast and rejuvenate your facade in all discretion. As part of heavier renovation work, do not hesitate to seek the services of a professional.
Betting on the light
A good lighting will perfectly reveal your property. This is an economic trick (subject to choosing a LED lighting, low energy) and easily modifiable over time. Whether your lighting is functional, sensory or decorative, you can create games of light and shade by varying colors and direct and indirect beams.
Add accessories
While most modern homes have roller shutters, there's nothing stopping you from choosing more "traditional" shutters to add cachet. If you are looking for tranquility and privacy in a busy street, opt for open-air breezes. Recently, this is an option that has become very trendy.
Also think of other ornaments, such as moldings or friezes. You can also install a canopy over the front door or an original chimney to energize the whole.
