Thank you all very much for the ideas - very helpful. I'm also thinking of putting an extra parking space to the left of the garage - dark grey granite chippings with a granite sett path leading to the front door, so a more neutral colour than the blues and reds I was originally thinking off would work well I think - thanks again.

Good morning, May I suggest for the front door and garage be painted the same in a very high gloss, possibly from farrow and balls collection a colour that has similarly to the stone used on the house such as.....Archive or Oxford stone which should compliment the brown window frames? I would also suggest you remove all the terracotta planters and replace them with some contemporary natural stone or paint the planters same as the door and they should be tall and plant some large box balls or sphere shapes which should update the look? Good luck

Have a read of this article: http://bit.ly/how-to-choose-the-right-colour-for-your-front-door I hope its helpful. We manufacture aluminium front doors in over 150 RAL shades and wood grain finishes. If you'd like any further information, please drop me a message. Thanks, Robyn

I’d say if you want real 7043 or 39 on your front door and garage doors that could look really smart, something brown/green/greyish if you get my just, bright yellow, green and blue doors are nice but think the both garage doors the same would be a step too far! Lol, I’d try and get a colour that can work on all three and compliment the brickwork/windows in equal measure.
