Hi, we are extending upstairs over a older red brick home. we have Ironstone windows, gutters, roof. We are going to render the extension but don't want to go lighter like a Dune colour but more of a medium grey. We will be replacing our posts and garage door with timber (also have a timber gate) so I feel like we can get away with a darker grey upstairs render. Do you know a good medium grey that goes well with Ironstone? Initially I was thinking Simone Weil and maybe even Guild Grey if it's not too dark?

Hi HU-648755060 A couple of questions for you. Do you have any floorplans or other details as well? A lot of people say Hampton's Style but that in itself can vary greatly between people. What you have picked out so far all sounds pretty good. I would look at a darker stain, like an espresso for the flooring. The darker automatically adds a feeling of understated luxe. I assume you are doing larger architraves, crown mouldings and skirts and these are painted white? Are you doing a grey grout on the splashback? For a more modern/industrial twist, look for a concrete finish to your kitchen benches. Remember that the concrete looks can be rather patterned so look at full slab pictures before choosing. If you go down this path I would keep all of them the same, vanities, laundry benchtops and kitchen benchtops. Otherwise you could look at a dramatic marble look such as Smartsone Blanco Molassa for the island and then a pared back white, for the other benchtops throughout the house. I hope this helps.

Hi all, would greatly appreciate advice on what colour to paint my render? Was thinking terrace white but am concerned it may make surfmist windows look dirty. think tranquil retreat will make the windows pop but concerned it might be all a bit too much grey? Roof is monument and bricks PGH truffle. Thanks for help!

I would also like help as have picked out those 2 colours for our hamptons build for the roof and cladding which covers half of the front facade. However we have brick on both sides of the cladding and wrapping right around the rest of the house. Did you end up using these colours and if so, do you have any pics you could post? We have been looking at the Sand PGH brick with white mortar but hoping that doesnt look too much all the one shade.
