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 needed for exterior update : render and/or paint, what color?
Comments (16)The grey on the western wall looks dark and purplish on my monitor. It may come over as too imposing and monolithic on the southern face. If you're sticking with the grey palette then a warmer tone would suit the sandstone better. Does Dulux have a colour palette recommendation that includes your Berkshire White plus a grey? Check online or in store pamphlets. But, for such a big, expensive, and impactful paint job I would actually be tempted to get a colour consultant.

Over the past 18mths I’ve been working on the front and landscape of my current house, including painting the bricks and it has made the world of difference! I’ve attached a before and after photo! Good luck....See MoreExterior colours?
Comments (3)Is there anything wrong with the current sandy paint , condition-wise ? I'd be tempted to keep it , double down with the dark highlights -- do the gutters , the downpipes , that 'upstairs' barge board etc in charcoal to match the windows . and spend any savings on the gardens , maybe even a dark stained timber deck in front of the glass entrance doors . And on that note -- is that what you want to replace with a wooden door ? It will be dark ( even if you have glass down each side , doubly so if you do a double wooden door ) and while it won't be horrible , one bit of wood with a mainly grey or sand colour scheme , and charcoal frames everywhere , isn't all that cohesive and matching IMO ....See MoreSean
