Paint Design Dilemma Exteriors

App/website visualiser for house exterior

2 years ago

Hi everyone! Does anybody know of a good app or website where I can change the colour of my house exterior's bricks and windows? I tried a few online, although none were great at capturing the area and most do not show the brick work, the colour would look plain with no texture.. thanks for any advice :)

It looks a lovely colour and quite subtle. You've got a divide between next door so I think it would work painting yours a different colour. Dulux have a visualiser app so you can see what things look like painted in different colours, it is a bit tricky to work at first but will give you a good idea once you master it. On their website they also have complementary colours for the paint, it may be nice to also paint the front door a dark shade?

Definitely agree with Design7, the added bonus with fibre cement cladding are: - no maintenance (unlike timber weatherboarding or painting render) - insulation can be added between existing render and fibre cement cladding - an almost instant improvement by adding texture to a very flat facade The risk you face by going with a bold colour over the whole rendered front of your house is that being such a flat and (no offence) uninspiring property, you will only make the situation a lot worse. By adding the texture to the first floor, you can then go bold underneath should you wish to. The other option that no one has suggested yet, will depend on the construction of your house (might be concrete blocks rather than brickwork) and if you do have to strip off the render and start again, it might be worth seeing if you have desirable brickwork beneath it. If so you can either acid strip the brickwork to clean it off or paint the bricks. I would suggest stripping the render off the ground floor and either going for a rendering or cladding to the first floor. I can imagine for a contemporary look, off white with grey Windows and doors, or for a softer cottage style go for a pale cream and mushroom/taupe Windows and doors.

Hi Greg, I think the windows definitely need to change. Casement does seem like a good option as it gives you more glass and are affordable. You could go for some powder coated aluminium to match the garage? but this is a much higher price. The door is a nice touch and I personally like them but it really depends on the style you are going for with your interiors (and exteriors) and whether this is in keeping with that. Is it something you need? and if not.. will it really support the style you are going for? I think it is hard to give too much advise because I don't really know what you are trying to achieve at this point. If you are having trouble visualising your space, I offer a great 3D package will give you a chance to see what different options will look like before you make any costly purchases. Please feel free to email gina.everett@createperfect.co.uk for more details. All the best, Gina
