Paint & render advice for front of my house
I am just in the process of having my windows & door replaced to anthracite grey, the issue we have is that our bay windows are slightly odd in the fact they are 5 individual panes of glass surrounded by a coloured concrete. We will be getting the pebble das removed and rendered, although I honestly have no idea what colour to choose. The current colour is awful and all other houses down my street are different. Any advice will help - attached is what they like looked like before (we had to change the windows as they were so old & letting in so much draft)

Best Exterior paint for newly rendered house?
Comments (11)I've just been looking. Awesome. My last house was a victorian reno. We had an old scullery and it hadnt been touched since the 60s was amazing what we found. But your house is simply divine. We have similar taste so trusting you even more now on my exterior paint job. This house has been everything i dreamed of so far. Will send you all the interior shots when we have the fish in the wall! Yep we have a 6 foot fishtank in the wall!...See MoreWhat colour should I paint my front door and garage - 1930s House
Comments (43)I think your instinct is spot on - the grey does not go with your lovely house at all! You said yourself, 'the grey craze', why follow the herd? Perhaps you should question why you want a 'contemporary colour' instead of one of the many choices which will enhance your beautiful period house. You don't see lovely pink Suffolk cottages, or the black and white half timbered houses characteristic of some areas daubed with grey because it's the latest fad....See MoreAdvice on balancing out the front of my house
Comments (17)I think two side panels on the front door might make that window less symmetrical. If you went for one panel on the same side of the existing window, it would keep the upstairs bathroom window more central. I agree with the other advice to make the new bedroom window slightly larger too and I love the advice to put a porch across the feont door and existing bay. But that's just me!

Comments (8)Hi there. It's a lovely house. We had all of our windows and doors replaced last year and used this company based in Cambridge. They make everything to order and you can have your windows finished in any Farrow and Ball colour, sprayed with Teknos paint. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Look them up on facebook to see examples of their work. http://www.fyntons.co.uk/...See More

4 years agoI've looked locally for similar houses with anthracite windows. I've seen them in the flesh but can't find any photo examples. I found this one which I know isn't what you plan to do, but I like what they've done with it.
