Are you wondering if you might have an ugly home? Well, let us give you a few signs and symptoms to think about. Keep in mind that some people may be fully aware of their Ugly House, and they are just trying to tick off the neighbors. They could be colorblind or don’t care. But this is for those of you who have a deep desire to help that neighbor clean things up or for those who do care or wonder how the rest of us think. Consider this post a fun review of all the tell-tell signs of that neighborhood eyesore.
#1 Paint Color
Keep in mind this is based on location because a house in a beach town would be different from Denver, Colorado. Do your color themes kind of go with other houses in the area? We have all seen that bright-colored House that sticks out and is totally out of place. Do the trim and main color completely clash and not go together? In general, it is best to avoid bright colors so take a look. Does your house have bold, bright colors that don’t fit with your area?
#2 Clutter
First, think about what is on your window seal. Does it look good from the outside? Let’s be blunt if you have an old junk car, washing machine, toilet, or bathtub outside; you probably have an Ugly House? Is there miscellaneous stuff lying around your yard that should be taken to the dump or tossed out? Do you have 4 outside chairs, but none of them are the same style, let alone the same color? Go outside and take a look; what doesn’t fit?
