Exterior Paint Colour Scheme for 70's brick

7 years ago

We need to replace our gutters & desperately need to repaint the exterior trim, facias, railings etc. of our house. Although rendering would look good, we are not planning to do this until later down the track, so we need to work with the existing brick colour which has a peachy tone.

This house faces west, the roof is a dark grey tile and the windows are mainly easment style in aluminium silver (apart from front door area). There's 2 exterior roller shutters on the front 2 windows, so we would need to get these re-powder coated as well.

I'm not sure whether to keep the down pipes in a cream so it still blends with the brick or to have it stand out.

Initially we were going to go charcoal grey, but after seeing others do this with a similar house brick, were not sure we like i as it looks harsh against this kind of brick. Would a mid grey on gutters, facia boards, timber work & garage doors, with a light mushroom grey on the eves work better and just have the charcoal on the metal railings only?

Also what would you put in replacement of the existing vertical timber slats on the front of the carport area? They're currently hiding the inner roof so it would look better to have something there but I don't like how it currently looks.

Timberwork around the carport and garage with down pipes currently painted to blend with bricks. We have allot of piping on this side of the house, so perhaps better to keep same colour.

Thank you :)
