Windows

Reply to: Pick something that looks great with your paving or roofing. Example: Our white house is RAL9010 and we chose RAL7039 windows, with some small RAL7032 accents (and our front door is RAL8022). This way there will always be some stone/cement that goes well with it.

Reply to: Black or anthracite would both look good, but black is classic and looks really good with brick. I would only have white inside.

Reply to: I live in a house of a similar era, and I think they are a bit of a challenge. I personally think that you have to go with it and embrace the boldness. It depends on your budget, but new windows would be worth considering. It needs the brown removing and replacing with something that can compete with the huge expanse of brick and I think that is probably black. There is a mid century house near us which is black and brick and it looks really smart. Black with pale render looks a bit harsh but black with brick can look balanced. The porch is the area that looks like it needs addressing the most.

Reply to: Hi Kevin, we live in a house of a similar era and had the same issue. We were recommended anthracite grey but we felt it is a bit overdone where we live. We didn't see any point in replacing with the same colour so opted for new timber windows finished in Farrow and Ball light grey. We also got rid of the old bay window as it looked fussy. Excuse the mess, it's a big renovation project.
