That would have to be the easiest colour choice ever haha -- I'd do everything that is green , in charcoal . Its trendy , it works with the bricks , its the obvious choice IMO .

The downstairs was almost certainly the garage , and they have added the white sliding door later , but even it works withy the charcoal . The upstairs in browny bronze doesn't really , but it'd do -- it would have been better to have done downstairs the same IMO , as all brown wouldn't have been so obvious ( the one white door highlights the difference ) but it is what it is .

Oh , and even the letterbox support in charcoal would work .

Job done for $200 , a couple of days and a scaffolding -- okay , $2000 and get someone else to do it !

Oh , and I guess yiou've worked out when I say 'everything green do in charcoal' -- yes , I did include the walkway and the carport .

You said "colours for the windows". They all look to be aluminium, and it's not like you can just paint them. Were you thinking of putting in new windows? It's the difference between the white and the brown windows that jars.

I love Pottsy’s idea of painting your trims charcoal, you can paint windows using Dulux weathershield paint(we did ours and they came up great, also did the outdoor blinds, it saved a fortune, add some gorgeous planters with plants that suit your climate, a new letterbox would instantly have a new look, and if possible change your security screens to a crimsafe for a more modern look, or you could paint your existing ones, changing the look with paint will give your lovely home a fantastic new look .

Many tutorials out there on how to paint your aluminium windows. Would make a world of difference to your facade.

The windows are all cedar, the slider on the garage is the only aluminium. Yep will be putting in new letter box and have many other plans just having trouble picturing a colour. Charcoal sounds good 😊

It’s a lovely home, the charcoal trim would look beautiful and blend beautifully with your surroundings.

This is a darker trim just to give you an idea of how it would look with your bricks.. certainly will really give an outstanding look .

Thanks Julie & pottsy the charcoal looks really nice 🙂

I was thinking more towards Julies darker shades -- she knows I hate boredom , sorry I mean grey haha , and the first pictures are trending towards grey !

If the cedar windows are in okay condition , I'd be inclined to keep them , and re-stain either in their natural reddish-brown , or Japanese Black ( a blue/black ) .

An idea for the downstairs slider would be leave it as it is , but add a pergola in 200 x 50 coming forward 1.5-2 metres , done in the darker stain . Maybe even add a couple of hanging baskets with greenery or yellowy or reddishy -- it will all detract the eyes and add some interest and even something living , and also tie it all together even more ?

Hi Julie & Pottsy999 thank you for your suggestions, with the colour charcoal do you have any paint colour names I'm searching charcoal colours but they seem to be grey 🤔 Also what colour would you suggest I repaint the cedar windows they are currently painted a heritage red colour.

I have used Raku double strength, another favourite is domino, ticking, then a really dark one black caviar, getting sample pots will be best to see what you love with your colour bricks.

This is double strength Raku paired with Malay grey.

Thank you 😊
