Ideas on Decorating a Foundation That Sits up High
Give your foundation a simple paint job. Paint it a color that coordinates with your house or blends in with the nearby landscaping. Make any structural repairs on the foundation before painting. Cover the entire foundation with an outdoor primer, then apply an outdoor paint. This works well for foundations that are relatively smooth, such as brick. For best results, use a vinyl enamel paint.
Paint landscaping images on the foundation if you do not want to put plants around it. This is good for foundations that are high because of area flooding, which can wash out many of the plants around a foundation. Paint the foundation with a primer, then paint shrubs, flowers, bushes and/or plants on the foundation. Allow the decorative paint to dry completely, following the manufacturer's instructions. Apply a sealer over the top of the painted decorations to help them last.
