I think a nice grey (not too dark, but darker than your concrete driveway colour), on the weather boards OR the render around the entry (not both) would look great! It would modernise your home further; bring out the brick more; and tie in with your driveway and roof? Green foliage also looks great against grey so will complement nicely when you get your garden established. I can't reccomend any particular grey as I know nothing about paint colours, sorry!

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!

There is an abundance of whites/light grey around. Windspray is a Colorbond colour and looks really good. Timeless Grey is also quite good nice. Shale grey is very pale almost white and again really good looking. My suggestion to a client is to choose something else aside from grey however. Unless there aren't any grey houses close by of course. We all seem to be a bit 'safe' with our colour choices which is unfortunate. My own house is grey but when I did it there were no other grey houses around.... anywhere! One of my clients went with 'Poppy Pink' another went with 'Vanessa Mae'. Fabulous colours without being eye searing. Unfortunately I don't have any good pictures.

I love your bricks too. In fact I would repaint trim colours the same as they are.
