Comments (6)A dark grey would add nothing to the curb appeal of this house. It would look like a cave in the woods I`m afraid. Either a soft grey-green with darker grey green on the horizontal timbers or a greyish taupe with white trim would make it WOW. Below is a similar style house that Houzzers helped the owner with paint color and it looks fabulous. 1st pic - Original color 2nd pic - repaint in progress 3rd pic - finished result If you like this look I can get you the colors that were used....See MoreNeed help to complete the exterior paint colour for our home.

Comments (1)The warm greys seem to be most harmonious with terracotta. Some shades almost look like grey-taupe, have brownish undertone. Like colourbond dune for example (pic) By the way, on my phone it looks brownish-grey. On the PC screen it looks almost purple-y! Hence the importance of buying sample pots!! Here's example of [Dune render[(https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/rendered-house-dune-now-need-help-re-colour-for-triangles-or-turrets-dsvw-vd~2904504?n=7). Are you wanting light, mid or dark grey? I'd ask to see the colours at the paint counter. (There are a lot more shades then what's displayed on paint cards or in the booklets). Painting the fascia (and even guttering) in a suitable white can really help it all work together visually....See MoreNeed help! Modernise house exterior
Comments (54)I would start with making a decision on the carport first. Start by talking to the council as you may not be able to do a double carport (and the single carport at your neighbours looks like a tight squeeze!) Also as Missmel said you should probably also make a decision whether to paint or not early on. If you are going to go with carport, paint, new awning and possibly porch windows you are getting into a whole new look so I would start talking a professional about the best way to design it. As an alternative to the porch enclosure could you get the front windows double glazed to reduce noise? If it was my place I think I would only be changing the awning, paint the fences, landscape, and maybe do a single carport if its really needed (plus the tiling etc that you mentioned). Some new fretwork might be nice too. To me the main thing to change is the bullnose, as you said its not original and it looks heavy and dominating. You will have to post some pics when done I will be really interested to see how this all turns out....See More
