I'd like to brighten up the outside of our home which is very dark brown. I was thinking about rendering, but then wondered if just painting would be good enough?
We have an old house with bagged walls over brick. The walls were already bagged when we purchased house. It looks good to me. I have no idea what colour bricks were originally, the only old pics we can find out the house it is painted, built late 50s. When we bought half the house was painted a rather confronting orange terracotta and half was cream, the house was a failed renovation project. We have painted it blue and white. I really am happy with it, it is certainly not smooth like rendering which I think would have not looked right for this house.
I think it would really brighten it up painting or rendering your home...depending on budget could tile or repair concrete. Alternatively you can get a spray on surface on concrete.
