Trim paint colors for brown brick, white roofed house ??
Comments (7)Hi, I agree with you, the salmon is a bit yuk. Personally I don’t see the point changing the garage doors unless you were changing the roof. They talk to each other so leave them. The first thing I’d do is massively prune/clear the garden. It’s a very beautiful garden and well cared for, but it’s doing nothing for the facade of your house. Your house is drowned out by it. Now the trims, that comes down to what you like but I’d go for something dark and rich tones. I like good old woodland grey too, just cause it goes with everything. Best of luck. And please post an after shot :)...See MoreExterior colour ideas for 80’s brick home
Comments (8)I am afraid I have to disagree with Kelli Ford about using white on this exterior as it will be too contrasting. The paneling above the windows would have been stained to show the timber grain, but clear staining never weathers well, so you may want to consider painting it. I would actually go darker and get a sample pot of a Dulux colour called "Luck" which could be described as a warm black/charcoal, with a subtle dark brown undertone, being a perfect complement to your beautiful bricks. By the way I think your house has a more 1970's feel than a 1980's feel. Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreHELP with exterior paint color on a daggy 80s brick house
Comments (9)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 ....See MoreBlonde / beige brick eighties house exterior colour choice.
Comments (3)I'm interested in chatting with some people currently in the renovation market for research on a new platform that will tag paint types and colours and show you the closest property with that colour. If you are interested in looking at a prototype please email me at greg@whobuiltthat.com.au. Thanks....See Moreoklouise
