We need help with our facade.
Comments (17)You need pop.... I do not think gray would give you enough. Maybe you could paint the door red and replace the awning with something more refined. if you could find some of the of the same or coordinating bricks from the chimney then you could make two poles out of them and a wooden roof painted white. Or for a less costly route just paint the door some vibrant color an all the trim a nice clean white. You could also get some potted plants for a little more color....See MorePLEASE HELP: need to pick the colours for my facade!
Comments (24)Hi Tyrone_Topsecret. I think the dark at top with the light colour under works very well - let's the upper floor disengage and float above everything, which makes it so stunning. Your render picture shows a texture effect on the matrix which is nice - if you go for a solid colour there that'll appear very different to what you see at the moment - would still work of course, but I'd probably try and do a 'marble' texture effect like that (if within budget). If it was me, I would blend the bessa in with the render colour at the bottom, so either paint the blocks to match the render, or why don't you do it the other way around and match the render colour to the natural block colour? That could work well. I don't know the Resene colour you mention, attached is a picture with a Monument colorbond roof, and the little link building we've done in a Dulux colour matched to Monument - so it works quite well as a contrast without being too stark against an (off-)white. I wouldn't go the night sky, it is quite stark (and cold) as a colour, where as with a softer/warmer dark grey it all becomes more harmonious. Not sure about the garage door : You are currently drawing attention to it by matching it to the colour of the upstairs - I would recommend to try and guide the view to upstairs instead, and therefore blend the garage door in with the surrounding surfaces. So Bessa natural, render to match, garage door in a warm white, and then the dark grey upstairs - will be a stunner :-) Good Luck !...See MoreFacade Design Ideas (Balcony is already being updated).
Comments (2)The RHS top window architrave appears to need replacement I’d replace all rotting timber and weather seal or replace windows and build a decking below balcony As for colours looks like sun could have rotted timber so I’d go white or light painted boards and window frames...See MoreFacade ideas please!
Comments (10)Wow, now that I see all that space is yours, it puts things in a different perspective! what an amazing place you have....I think it would be worth collecting some pictures of landscapes you like, then engage a designer. Because you have plenty of mature trees and the hard landscaping is done, it would not cost much to do a worthwhile update, focussing in the area by the house. Great potential....See MoreJayne Russell
