A shale grey would look great!

Grey never looks great haha ! I see the colourbond website descibes windspray as a neutral grey , but personally I think it has a green tinge .

I quite like the bricks . If you were going to render , I'd suggest an offwhite with a slight green tinge -- something like a Dulux Berkshire ( their website seems to suggest Snowy Mountain , but I reckon thats too green ) . But how about just doing the portico in that ( berkshire or one they imaginatively call off white ) and leave the rest as brick ?

That leaves you with the problem though -- IMO the grey garage door clashes with the roof -- so are you going to redo the roof or the door -- I'd suggest the door would be the easier , plus it clashes with almost everything . Thats where you can use Snowy Mountain , or the nice Yellow of your front door , on the garage door , or maybe even see if you can swap it out for a cedar or similar -- probably too late , even if its a standard size , but you never know until you ask .

Thanks for the advise. Forgot to mention, the front door is still yet to be stained. It's going to be stained in Ebony, which brings it close to the color of the garage door

The house looks good. The things making it look bad are the front door, which you say you are staining to ebony...which is good. And the other thing is the messy front yard....which I assume will be landscaped when home is completed.

I wouldn’t render. I don’t think you need to. The pillar colour is the odd colour but I’d leave it for the time being. I’d put the money and effort into the landscaping inc a mature tree or two. If you’re still unhappy after the garden is in then rethink painting the pillar and adding render.

If this is a brand new home nearing completion, then it is too late and too expensive to change anything....get the door stained to ebony and do the landscaping.....don’t overthink it....that will only cost you money.

Agree, don’t render. At the moment the home is interesting with the brick detail. If you render it will be plain.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I shall stay put for now and report back once the door is stained and landscaping is up.

Agree , the bricks are great with the render you have, once the door is painted ebony it will look beautiful, adding hard and soft landscaping will take the house to another level.

If you change anything I would change the portico. But agree with others. Finish landscaping first and door

Way too late for that unfortunately. I did request to change the facade during color selection (way before the build started), but it's a nup.

Some goods ideas above and agree to keep brickwork as is, I have been playing with colors and forgot to change the garage door back to original but this should still give you some concept of how your new house will look, good luck

thanks! I'll post an update once landscape is done. I've got the trades all lined up now, and put the render job on hold.
