Hi Alisdair! If you're keeping the brick and roof as are then I'd pick a colour from the brick. If my monitor is right, then I think I see a kind of purply-brown or Sydney 'liver' brick in the darker bricks. Are you brave enough for a bit of aubergine on the fascia and window frames to pick up on that? I'd stick with a pale pale tan under the eaves, taken from the brick colour, to better bounce light around. Also, your front door is pretty recessed and could probably do with a pick me up. If you're game, bright green. If that's too far, then the pale tan out of the bricks. Good luck!

I think if you replace front door and glass panels as well as the old fashioned lights with something more contemporary it will make a huge improvement. I'd also remove the ironwork and as you cannot re-glaze place some pots and plants on the sides of the large windows to draw the eye away from all the green cross pieces on the windows. Eventually paint the gutters fascia in a light grey/green.

i believe that awnings are usually more expensive and then you will have to choose a colour for handles that can add to the cost but you don't have to have the same style for every window ... it's such an important feature that you need to consider each window separately to make sure that the open awning doesn't encroach on outside paths etc or the sliding window won't be accidentally left open when it rains and some windows can be too narrow for sliding windows and awnings look better.. we have a combination of awning, sliding and stacking windows and doors and our awning highlight windows have electric openers to save having to climb on a ladder to reach the handle
