Exterior colours for a rental
The windows inside are natural cedar inside while the ones outside painted. We are leaving the ones inside as they are as they add warmth. Some work fixing sticking windows and replacing some latches also will be done at the same time Only looking at maintenance not capital works. The brick is in excellent condition and remain as is. The front door is solid timber with some leadlighting. Roof is neutral (probably completely faded mist green but looks light beige now as luck would have it. Roof won't be repainted and is in good condition.
Looking for paint colour ideas of a conservative nature as it is my mother's rental.

Need help for my exterior paint colour and exterior design
Comments (14)Hi, I like the overall concept of the darkish grey, it suits the home. I am a colour consultant and have been working with the Dulux range for 17 years and you are on the right track with the Guild Grey. The Dulux Signature will give you a dark blue house. Another option if Simone Weil which is just a bit lighter than the Guild Grey, if you find that one too dark. Sample pots and A4 brush outs onto white cardboard are the best way to decide, because computer programs give an overall impression of the "look" but are not accurate with colour choices, you can't beat the human eye. All the best, it's going to look great....See MoreHelp with the exterior trim colour(s) to go with "peru" brick wall
Comments (2)To Modernise this without rendering or retiling the roof I would probably recommend to go darker with the trims. My top pick as a colour consultant would be Dulux's Domino for the trim. It will be a little bolder and create a more modern contemporary feel. You can see it pictured below as the trim. Obviously this house has painted their bricks in the shade "teahouse" however it will still look much better on your 1980s "peru" colour bricks!

Comments (15)Don't suppose the roses are iceberg?, I can just see your dogs scaring the life out of the poor fish. My same farmer Friend had his roof spray painted on a similar period house to yours, and it was a perfect no problems, I think that there good and bad and ugly trades that do these roofs, I know a neighbour was not happy with the quality of his and had to be redone and then another managed to get a really dodging one going around doing roofs and driveways that were total rubbish. A good job removes and resets all the ridge line tiles repairs adjusts and replaces tiles where needed. and remember to keep too many people from walking around on your tiled roof as this can add to more cracked brittle tiles. Re painted down pipes I wouldn't worry at the moment, a house nearby has just had roof painted mid gray and walls rendered a very soft pale beige/sandstone colour. Windows doors eaves, barge boards, down pipes are all white and the gutter is the same as the roof colour, simple, it's hard to match paint colour with brick work so I think I would be going with unpainted white the same as the neighbours I just mentioned, they won't get scratched that way and your down pipes aren't terribly visible from the front.

7 years agoPossibly the top option but.... Sample pots! Colours vary so much in different lights and against other colours, in this case your bricks and roof. And colours often look completely different in pics and sample swatches to what they do on a wall. Given the style of the house, you could do the gutters the same colour as all the trim and just paint the eaves in a lighter colour to create shadow, basically keeping it simple or you could ramp it up and pick them out. Have thrown together a couple of options that might work with your bricks and lead light colours.

7 years agoWith the roof colour staying as is I think you could go with a palette like this. The wooden cladding in the steely blue, gutters in very dark colour, front door in dark colour also.

7 years agoJust to help visualise a bit, quick colour-in of the photo - I'm not so much suggesting these colours, more a way to help see how it would look for darker timber, feature door, darker frames, etc.
