You could definitely have a look at the greige palette...I'd suggest you look at Dulux Teahouse, Timeless Grey, Limed White or Malay Grey, Flooded Gum or Dieskau...depending on how light or dark you want to go! All will look great with your roof!

Thanks for the comments. My husband is a painter so the maintenance wont be an issue. I like the idea of dark grey, however we get loads of sun and would perhaps fade too quickly. The ThreebirdRenovations have some lovely ideas too, but its hard to tell the true colour from a computer screen.

The greys I've given you are more in the mid base ...Malay grey is a happy medium.

I like it as is.

If you have the room, I'd look at getting some planters in a similar colour to the fence and place them on the driveway leading up to the front door. Some greenery against the brick would be really eye catching and soothing.

Oh no!! now I'm totally confused and pleasantly surprised that you like the bricks.

Our original idea was to go all white with lots of green landscaping, similar to a Palm Springs MCM. Now that the features are white, and the house being quite large the all white look seems too much. Do you think there could be an option of painting mostly white but leaving some red brick features???

Timber stained or coloured screening and other features to break up the exterior look could be an option. Perhaps painting the side of the home in a choice colour and some landscape/pots of plants to contrast, leaving the front of the house in brick and landscaped... Just putting in ideas

Embrace your MCM inside the house and go with some statement Palm springs style plants. Weather dependent of course.

Having been to Palm Springs last year the thing I would do is to change your balconies [ it looks like you may have started this already] and think about adding some big rocks along side the planting- maybe up the driveway.

Mid century brick lover here - painting this would date it. I too agree with the above 'keep it' comments.

Unless you plan on living there forever, Don't paint the brick!

I love the present look of bricks on white, especially the white heat reflecting roof. If any thing I would spend on a garden designer and create a look that softens the brick.

I would paint the brick! We painted our ordinary brick home grey (Flooded Gum) & it looks amazing. Highly recommend doing it.

Why paint perfectly good bricks? High maintenance that will affect the natural insulation of the brick. It may also potentially devalue your property for future sale.

That is a lot of square brick structure to paint. I think the color is actually quit nice. Very retro. Have you considered installing horizontal planks alongside the exterior wall front entrance to the bottom of the windows?

check out three birds reno. I would paint it ;)

This is an OLD post

Absolutely keep the brick! I think the grey streetscape that has dominated the past decade is starting to look rather ho-hum, so you're right on trend as you are - everything old is new again!
