MID CENTURY MAKEOVER

Work with what you already have to easily add character to your home

Mid-century brick homes are mainstays of our Australian suburbs. Solid and sturdy, they were built with practicality in mind, the gardens often just an afterthought. But you can build on these basics to create a welcoming front yard full of character. Give the front fence a new lease on life and replace the boring old concrete path that leads to the house with a stylish serving of crushed granite. Spruce up your entryway and patio and complete your revamp by filling garden beds with a few small trees underplanted by clumping grasses and flowering beauties.
