Thank you!From Little Greene I'm currently trying the various shades of Slaked Lime and, French Grey, and Cool Arbour... I also liked Hardwick White, Off-White, etc etc (FnB)... :/ I just can't decide whether the painted stone, ie rough/wobbly texture looks ok darker, or not. Or whether to do frames a mid-greyish tone, with soft white walls...or. just paint the lot white! The frames on the stone wall sides make any shades look different again...

I would agree with the previous comments and suggest the following; 1. If DIY confident pick a nice masonry paint colour ( fan of Dulux cobblestone) and paint house brick front and side including side of steps. Paint railings. 2. Purchase two/three garden trellis and cut to size, paint with same colour masonry paint and place around step structure. Plant a few evergreen creepers in front to soften and add colour. 3. Dig a planting area perpendicular to house along driveway from trellis to front entrance and plant with a low evergreen hedge such as box hedging or a mix of box with grasses. 4. Repair lawn. 5. Cut and shape plant/hedge at bend in of garden or remove entirely if in bad shape. Budget of £300 - £500. Best of luck!!

Hi @seoulone, No problem at all! The building at the back (I'm guessing that's yours) looks pretty modern. You could definitely go with a more modern look for the front building too... possibly black or very dark grey (similar to the first image below)? This could help to tie both buildings together more? If you did want to keep the grey though, I'm sure some white window frames (below) and a brightly coloured door would also do the trick and help to brighten everything up a bit! It's a lovely space to work with you you've got lots of options.

Think very carefully if you consider bringing the front door(s) forward. As an earlier poster has commented, it is not a good thing when it is pouring with rain and you are fumbling with keys to get in. If you do decide to bring the doors forward then I would look at fitting a glass canopy over the doors to provide a bit of shelter from the elements. I would point out that arches are not a particularly contemporary feature so it might require squaring off to get the right style. I would get rid of the hanging tiles in the gable. Render the entire front and paint a uniform colour. Grey being very much "in" at the moment. However, white paint with grey doors etc. would work well. I would also take the opportunity to have outside lighting fitted. Something in brushed stainless steel would work.
