Want to achieve a soft, rendered look for internal brick walls
Comments (9)Im not sure how much brick is seen around the window frame, if its only a little brick, you could paint it, although I'd prefer it be a smooth rendered finishor plaster like your other finished walls, because if there are three surfaces visible in there, none will be a feature, and all will look incohessive. To let the ply wall take the focus the plaster is perfect in contrast, so if absolutely necessary, pair. He brick white, although my recommendation is to gy rock and paint, just with he back wall in marine ply. Good luck, I'd love to see your finished result. By the wY, mentioned split battens to hang the ply, if you're unfamiliar, it's where timber battens are cut in half on the diagonal through section, and one half is fixed to the wall, the other the ply sheet, when they go together they become a secure locking fixing. Any handy person or tradesman will know how to do hat, without glueing or messing up the brick wall. It's quick, cheap and secure, and best of all can be removed without much effort to allow you flexibility in time....See MoreHow do I render my '90s apricot brick house?
Comments (8)The three things I like are the bricks , the tiles , and the overall style and even 'class' of the place . What I dislike is the yellowy beige ( in fact it has a pink tinge in some lights ) -- shocking haha ! And likewise that blue doesn't suit . For a starter , I'd do everything ( yes , the fence and pillars and caps -- everything ) that is beigey in a crisper white . The blue probably depends on your preference -- a darker almost royal blue may look okay , similarly so may a charcoal ( remember , the sharp white will contrast , and bring out the brick and tile tones too ) . Even a nice orange -- citrus doesn't suit the house style , but apricot is too wimpy against the bricks IMO ) . Fresh and crisp and clean with a sense of style ....See MoreShould we render exposed red brick?
Comments (3)Personally not sure why you rendered part of the wall to an arbitrary point. It really all depends on style you want for your backyard. Since we can’t see house and you still need to landscape it is hard to comment. I like red brick, I’m not liking the render or the white trim and door, lack of paving and the cream timber on the roof,...See MoreWhat colour roof/gutter/trim/upper render to go with orange bricks?
Comments (5)It is 'of a certain era' , and without spending big $$$ , that's always going to be the base , and why not ? I'd take the cue from the lower brickwork , and do the windowsills and gutters in a tone thats more charcoal than brown , but with a slight brown aftertaste . Likewise , I'd redo the upper level in weatherboard , whether its painted , coated , synthetic , but personally I wouldn't mix styles -- scyon or render done in that orange tone will look like an obvious add-on ( yes , I know , the well-worn boards do that too , but look at how the concrete railing has come up with a paint ) . Basically , keep it looking like up-dated period IMO . Basically , get rid of all the green , and the awnings , and work with the orange , the 'interesting' aspect of the brown , the roof , and the small bit of white ....See Morecsimbo
