I feel my house looks a bit dated now being all white and would like to give it a bit of colour maybe different colour door? Window frames? Shades of grey?! Any ideas please?

It looks adorable. But if you wish why not make your wisteria really stand out by painting the walls a very pale lilac. Grey windows would work.

How lovely! I like ASVInteriors' suggestion, grey windows would look really nice.

Your colour scheme sounds lovely. I don’t think it will be boring as the style of your house already makes it shine. Here’s a couple of pics of painted houses similar to yours. There have been several Advice posts lately about front door colours which may be of help.

I like it, it‘s not as warm as the other colour but very nice. I’m not sure if you’re just painting woodwork or render too but there’s some good tips on here. When I first tested paints on my exterior I made the mistake of just painting over the render and the existing colour completely threw everything out which took me a while to realise 😂 https://www.brickandbatten.com/5-tips-to-testing-home-exterior-paint-colors/

@Sonia thank you - would you also paint the boards at the top? It's so difficult to work with brown windows....

Hi @Sonia My house currently looks like this and I find it looks drab, especially after the morning sun has gone over the house. Some colours are masonry and some are not. However, I know that with Dulux, you can mix most normal colours with their Weathershield masonry paint. Thanks.

It's so beautiful as it is! I would not touch the white of the house but perhaps if you wish to refresh the look , colouring the door in the right shade of dark grey, green or blue that would compliment the wisteria might work?

Bright front door or repaint the sils

Red and white works well as does white and grey

Dark grey and light grey

White and black

It is lovely and the wisteria is very gorgeous. I would paint the front door only and leave the walls. Perhaps blue or dark purple for the front door. Do a search for wisteria and front door images and see what you like?

Walls repaint similar to F&B OLD WHITE, door and window sills F&B RAILINGS, Window frames F&B FRENCH grey! would compliment wisteria beautifully. Or make door pop with brighter colour of Lime or orange!!

It looks lovely as is, but to add contrast between walls and accentuate the beautiful sash windows and door surround paint walls cream and leaving window/door surround white (or maybe a F&B greeny bluey grey?). You could paint the door any colour you wish, but I think it would look amazing with a solid oak front door!

Try French Gray from F&B; it would look great on outside woodwork, door included! PS: I love your house!

You could go for a warm grey scheme like Elephants Breath on the render, Charleston Gray on the woodwork and a different colour on the door like Brassica (all F&B), or if you prefer a traditional grey, purbeck stone render and moles breath on all the woodwork. You could always ask a F&B colour consultant on their facebook page.
