Need help exterior - red brick
Comments (3)You certainly have a challenge. Anything can be painted, providing you are prepeared to repaint it when it starts to wear. I think your starting point should be that huge driveway and your window blinds. You don't want to paint those, so you need to work around the terracotta driveway colour and the cream blind colour. It is possible to paint a driveway, but it always wears with traffic and ends up looking shabby. If you have concrete roof tiles I would look at repainting those, possibly a green/grey, to match Colorbond Woodland grey to offset the driveway colour. Probably easiest to repaint the brickwork (rather than render) to match the window blinds so that they are less of a feature. Rendering can be quite expensive, especially as you will need to remove all of your window shutters first, then have them re-installed. I would soften the driveway by introducing some large concrete planters with some hardy succulents along the right hand side.

Comments (0)Looking for some suggestions for our 1930s brick bungalow (new-to us)- exterior Colours. We want to align to a heritage type colour scheme , and are operating “under instructions “ from our painter to select a max of 3 colours . Currently painted with 8+colours - so that bit makes sense. Have been looking at the Hayes heritage Colour range. So. 1 either loch ard blue or mid Brunswick green for the guttering …. And then I am stuck… Would changing the arches to white/cream with a stoneware(Hayes), and also lightening the columns and railing work??? The house has a lot of original features including extensive lead lighting which we want to be sympathetic to. Thanks for any comments...See MoreMischa Arnold
