I would put dark on gutter and garage and leave roof alone. Much less maintenance. Example pics

I like it as is too, but if you really want to update things, do the garage doors and guttering, then a bit of work on the garden.

It needs a lift , but I agree with everyone else -- the roof isn't the problem .

The garage doors need a lift , so the darker colour would work , or even changing them to timber . In some ways , that would be a waste of money , but probably similar in price to painting the roof , and I know which would add the most to your house !

I can't see the front door , but maybe paint that and make a feature of it , or change to a natural wood to match the garage doors -- but only as part of a complete theme .

Kates idea of darker gutters is good , it adds a lift but also adds a 'break' in the height .

Gardens would finish it , and with the lighter walls , a sculpture or even water feature in that ferro-cement ( with some marble content ) would add to it , as long as the gardens had some large green broadleafed plants , some rustic grasses , a cactus , some red leaved plants , maybe a glazed pot or two .

Some people would expect me to say red , orange or yellow gutters and garage door , and that would work , and stand out -- but here's an off-the-wall idea -- how about doing the roof in an almost terracota orange , as a nod to the days when orange tiles were all you saw in some suburbs ? I'm guessing this is a newer area , and probably doesn't have many orange roofs -- the light walls would wear this look well IMO !

Darker trims and garage doors would look great, love Pottsy’s idea of adding a water feature or modern art piece, update garden... gorgeous.

I should mention that this is a stock photo from some time ago and we have the money ready for a facelift, we have been doing the garden also but really need some ideas on colour schemes

I don't understand -- is that an old picture of your house ? Or a picture of a house that looks a bit like yours , and has similar colours ?

It’s an old picture of our house from about 12 years ago. The roof is a lot more worn now and definitely needs a spray. The roof definitely needs to be painted and the walls too but I don’t have a current picture, I can take one tomorrow morning.

We definitely need a photo of how the house is now. A full picture and a closer up one of the colours would be great.

Is the roof colourbond or galvanised? Has it been pressure washed to see how the surface cleans up?

Depending on where you live, be wary of painting the roof a dark colour. It would absorb a lot more heat.

Thanks everyone. We’ve decided to go with woodland grey with dune walls ✌🏻
