Anyone any suggestions ? As all the woodwork and garage door is going to get a coat of paint and I need to pick a colour sharpish. I'm actually colour blind so not that great at this sort of stuff 😀 .Rather than just brown , I wondered if anyone had any other inspirational ideas ? The brickwork is a very red 90s new build.

Ideally I'd render the lot, new windows and guttering and probably a roof, but budget is not there right now. Getting rid of the lead work in the windows for starters and then maybe the garage door a dark grey.

I was also considering if there might be another colour choice for the fascias and boards on the front. Gutters are black. I've also been looking briefly at the option of vinyl wrapping the brown rosewood upVC windows .

This isn't actually my house but it's identical apart from my garage door is dark green ( I thought it was brown for the last 5 years😀)

Cheers

Avi

I would replace leaded glass for clear, and the units if budget allowed, and if possible remove all that wood stuck on the bricks, it's horribly fake.
Unfortunately it's hiding the transition between patterns in the brickwork, a neighbour had the wood replaced and you could see from the quality that the brickies knew it was going to be covered up !
