Hi I recently painted a small fibro house and I recommend not going too dark with the colour if is a smaller place as it looks. I chose an ochre colour and it was too heavy for the cheap, light material. Still, I kind of liked it as it warmed it up a bit, given it was in a dense, wet foliage. If I did it again I would choose cream. No offence to the other contributors, I like grey, but I wouldn't do this kind of house in grey. Grey looks good when the materials are good quality, but can look jail cell if not. If you like grey, I suggest a very pale grey. Cladding might really help as Sarah H suggested, it can be a little depressing to come home to such unprotecting looking exterior. I would do the lattice at the bottom a darker colour to 'ground' the house.

I concur with Bloom Collections. I tried it myself and it looked pretty terrible. You would need very very smooth walls - ours were painted concrete and it just didn't work. It did look better on a wooden sideboard that I painted.

Hi Sue, I think the wall colour (white looks like an white/off white) is lovely. It’s neutral and light, and will be the best back drop for any soft furnishings. I would suggest maybe updating some of your furniture. Your sofas look in good condition, so re-upholstering to change the colour may be a expensive option. in a bid to save some money, perhaps updating your rug to a lighter/more neutral pattern/colour (look at armadillo rugs) is a better option. Also updating your dining setting (perhaps something with chair upholstery to compliment the sofa, and even a large light coloured marble top) to be more contemporary and in keeping with your lounge suite would be the way to go. My clients often find it difficult to part with certain pieces that hold sentimental value, but often a new home requires a furniture update. In summary, I’m not convinced changing wall colour will be able to link all your furniture together. Stick with one piece that works well (ie. the sofa) and work towards updating the rest. Good luck!

Funnily enough , I think the whole house already looks too dark , and I think the bricks and the roof are actually a good base , but again just personally , the windows used to close in the garage I would have liked to do in say surfmist or silver just to lighten things up . Maybe not for good reasons , but the lighter concrete below those windows is the first thing I noticed -- I realise it will presumably get covered or painted , but I noticed it because it is lighter in tone . The green fence doesn't help , and I'd do it in charcoal , which might sound 'silly' with what I said about the windows , but to do just the fence in a lighter silver or white or off-white would look 'weird' -- you want the house to be noticed , the fence less so . So what else ? Maybe a bright front door , or even a natural cedar or lighter -- make it a feature , at present it just blends/blands in . Maybe 2 or 3 large bright orange or yellow 'ali baba' glazed pots with vibrant spikey plants , bamboos , etc positioned right along the front -- large pots at least 60cm x 80cm to get noticed ! Just my thoughts .
