Paint Design Dilemma Exterior

Home exterior paint colour suggestion?

3 years ago

Wanting to paint the exterior of our house, located on the Northern Beaches in NSW. Unable to change the window frames that are a bronze aluminium, not my choice but need to live with it. Suggestions of paint colours that would co-ordinate well with the bronze would be greatly appreciated. Current house pic (included in post).

Thanks in advance.

Personally , I think the main colour is fine , the crisp white on the poles and most of the terrace is fine -- the two different 'sandy khahki' shades ( the window surrounds , and the planter ) looks out of date . I'd do both of them in charcoal , as well as the terrace base board and the upstairs downpipes . It looks like the barge board and the veranda are already a charcoal -- if not , then darken them up too .

The mid grey on the steps etc is fine as is , it's hard to see in the photos but the front door looks like it might be a nice solid wooden one -- again , thats fine to me , but I'd do the door surround in a crisp white to make it more noticeable .

The other brighter option would be to do the window surrounds , the door surround , the top barge board including the gables , the terrace base and probably the terrace top rail -- all in a bright sunshine yellow !

This just popped up , but I see it is quite old . Did you decide on paint colours ? The roof looks almost a brown tone in the photos , but you say it is dark grey . I assume you don't want to paint that ? If you do , go more charcoal IMO . If you don't , I'm assumimg it will look several shades darker with your wall colour choices . There is a roller door on the garage that appears to be a nice shade of orangey yellow . Personally , I would go with your colour choices , but do all the doors ( roller doors , wooden doors ) and gutterings in that ochre shade . Your terrace I would do in a charcoal , but with the top rail either in the orangey yellow , or a really crisp white . I know that sounds a bit 70's ( although they would have added a lot of ranch brown back then haha ! ) but against the light grey I suspect it would work together well , and look the part .

Do you have any photos of the front of the house that may give us a better view of the green trim? Have to say that painting costs so much and lasts just so long, you may want to wait until it's needed.

The house is in desperate need of a refresh and we are struggling to pick the colour scheme to complement the features. The design of the house is quite busy with the use of yellow bricks, timber and rough cast. The main feature differs depending on which side of house we're looking at: - front: bricks, timber and rough cast - sides: mostly bricks & timber - back: mostly bricks & timber We are not wanting to paint the bricks at this stage and would love some help with chosing the colours to make it more modern! Will be painting the timber, rough cast, balcony handrails, pergola & roof. See photos below (excuse the mess as in the middle of tidying up) Thanks in advance!
