there are way too many colours going on here. Your home is a traditional style and yes the cream and green are traditional colours with the reddish brick however why did you put grey around the windows??also you have red scollops above the grey and it doesn't do the house justice. What colour was there before you painted the grey?? considering grey is a more modern colour I think you were attempting to modernise the externals. in saying that the roof would have been better to paint charcoal the cream in white and then the grey and then the driveway would be done in a grey stain. but if you leave it the way it is and cover the red scolloping above the windows the same grey and the bricks below the windows near the ground grey as well then get the drive way restained to the reddish colour of the bricks on the house and then it would blend more and look inviting.

Probably comes down to your budget. A herringbone pattern would add interest, but may be more costly to lay than a stack pattern. It’s the colour of the paving bricks against your home that would be worth more consideration.

If you look at your inspiration picture , the door there is a similar tone to your timber , the stone is similar , the charoal trim and windows are similar . The render is lighter than Self Destruct , and appears to have an 'effect' so it looks aged and rustic . So personally I'd go lighter , but also ask your contractor if they can do the subtle rustic effect , using two slightly different tones of render , and some water and brushes .

Thanks for that Kate. Yes I’ve seen this video already actually :) However it doesn’t explain if need wet concrete at same time under each paver before placing it down and haunching (as my pavers will have 50mm spacing between them so it’s different to the one in that video which are all continuous / butted up against each other).
