A gallery of villas

Choosing a look for your villa

Someone suggested that before committing to any exterior work that we should have a look around suburbs where there are lots of villas to get some ideas and inspiration.

So off we went, with camera in hand to record the ideas for a "look book".

The first thing we noticed was how many different styles of villa there are! Just finding single bay fronted villas which resemble ours was trickier than we first thought.

To supplement this legwork, looking through online real estate listings or magazines (especially the Property Press) can help too.

It's certainly helped to identify some definite likes and dislikes, though I suspect there's a lot more research ahead while we renovate!

Here are some pics I found online:
