The brick in the photo, on my computer, does not look red. It is a pleasant variation of colours. Is there a reason that you want to render the brick? Are the roof tiles made from terracotta? Or are you saying they are an orange colour? Again they look good. Do not look orange in colour. In my opinion, what stands out is the great expanse of grey concrete. I would look at painting all the trim a dark colour to match the darkest colour in the brick. Leaving the windows as is, but painting all the pergola, gutters, fascia, front door. Something dark as per your outdoor setting. This would be more interesting than rendering your home.

Thank you for your response.

Yes the roof tiles are terracotta coloured but I believe they are concrete.

I do agree the brick is actually not red but a mix of colours. I was undecided if rendering them was the right thing to do.
I do like your idea of painting the trims in the darkest colour in the brick but am concerned that if I am to leave the walls as is and were to do everything else a dark colour that it would be too dark ?

Any suggestions for what I could do with the ‘reddish’ tiles which are on the ground all around the house ? Or just leave as is?

Pull up those ground reddish pavers, and replace with pavers the shape and colour as cream pavers. Or clean all of the existing pavers and paint all pavers with good quality paver paint.

Have had a closer look at photos, it appears that the open pergola, the pavers a cracked and weathered, so need replacing anyway. The pavers in the undercover area are clean and no damage. They even look as though they could be concrete made to look like pavers. This clean area, I would just paint the reddish areas to match the cream.

Thank you! Lots to think about.
I am very grateful for your responses.
I’m still in the planning stage and afraid I’ll make a big boo boo

Thank you for your suggestions and photo ideas.

Don’t render. It’s all the paving front and back pulling house down. Fix that first before you reconsider need to render

If painting gutters, pergola, trims + front door in dark colour (monument) what’s best? Matt, Low sheen, semi gloss or gloss.
Grateful for any advice.

I’m thinking maybe semi gloss or low sheen

Middle of the road semi-gloss unless the surfaces have imperfections then low sheen. Semi-gloss seems to wear a bit better. The front door can be gloss if you want the impact.
