Need advice on colour for render, windows and doors
Comments (10)Hi Charlotte I understand where you are coming from about the brick detail around the windows and sills which are lovely but they are small designer details whereas the porch is a much bigger area of bricks and if it were my home I would certainly render it as the rest of the house.Also although the porch has always been like that, it looks like it has been added on later, I may be wrong and just been left with bricks exposed.You have also got the nice brick paving around the house. Why don't you just print the picture of the house out, put a tracing sheet of paper over it and just colour in the porch the same colour as the render and you will get a better idea of how it will look. Or maybe render the porch and just as you have the brick detail around the windows just do the same around the porch, this would look really good too.

Comments (3)Hi Nicola, when thinking about the outside of your house it's always important to consider the style of your home (when is was built) and what others on your street have. There are some rules on what the local council will permit too, so best to check with them first. Whilst it's nice for everyones home to have a unique personality, i believe it looks best when colours and design are in keeping with the original character of the house and road. 1950's homes are typically mid century, so think simplicity and clean lines. White wood siding in white can be a nice way to bring character to the houses facade. Plain, small format roof tiles in clay or slate are ideal materials for this era. I think your front door is where you get to have the most fun. Perhaps consider a colour. 1950's colours could be quite playful. I'd love to work with you on your inteior when the time comes.

Comments (8)Match it to the grout in your bricks - or a slightly darker version - got to have the same undertones though, to avoid a clash. It'll probably look more like a pale neutral than a white, but once it's up it'll look white as external colours always looks twice as bright. So don't go with too white a white as it'll be blinding!...See MoreRender colour help needed
Comments (5)Work with the colour of your stone frontage. Difficult to tell the actual tone - the second image makes it look cooler into the blue/grey tones whereas the first looks more brown. My personal preference would be the second, BUT only if the stone has enough grey/blue in it. Mock up apps are your friend......See Moreseanrawlinson
