Do not paint the brick!! It's part of the homes appeal and its style. Change up the stucco color to a warm gray as well as paint the fascia boards a more appealing color also (deeper charcoal or similar) a grayed green would be another option for the stucco. As long it all works with both the roof shingle and the brick these are colors worth looking at. Another option for just the gable end would be cement board shingle (Hardieboard or similar) if you want a change from stucco.

Hi , just in the process of finishing a self build in Kildare and looking at options for softening the appearance of the front of the house. Originally we had burnt wood cladding (per 3d model images attached) but took them out for budget reasons. regretting that a bit now and difficult to retrofit cladding without risking damage to plaster so looking at what options or ideas people might have to break up the front, even at this stage. Thanks in advance

Is there any way to stop timber cladding going grey? Or is there a good alternative to timber cladding which has minimal maintenance??

Debating between the two elevations, one has a bit more board and batten siding. We initially planned on just using it in the middle as an accent. But architect send another version and now we are confused. We will be using a lighter shade of one color on horizontal siding, and darker shade in the same color on the vertical siding. Which one do you prefer? A: B: Thank you!!
