Looking for ideas on paint colours.
Most of the brick is painted maroon and we want to paint over it.

Please help. I need suggestions for exterior redesign of house.
Comments (15)hello bonnielynn75 and THANK YOU! your comment put a smile on my face re the red on the interior side of the door. It IS red on the inside as well, he insisted on that when we purchased it. no one here has it red on the inside and I wanted it to be white on the inside. do you see my dilemma?;) I agree with everything you are saying, I suppose this is the reason why so far I was not 100% sure about the black for the door either, although I like black...Agree, there is too much wall and I find the house to be looking a bit 'bland' and would like to change that. I LOVE shutters, but read somewhere that you never put shutters on wide windows, so got unsure about that, too...but perhaps just the one as I stated earlier. Would the color on that shutter be the same as the door (if I ever settle on a door color)? Unfortunately window boxes are not an option as we have quite a few cats and they may be used as litter boxes;) please don't tell me to get rid of the cats;)... Regarding the stoop (entrance) : we need to add another step (made of cement) on top of the existing step: it was removed when the new door was fitted. We were thinking of putting slate tiles or something dark to match the roof, if that makes any sense.... It is porous cement so unsuitable for painting, I think. What place in Ireland did you visit, we are close to the Irish Sea in the country surrounded by sheep;)......See MorePLEASE NEED URGENT help choosing exterior house paint colours
Comments (8)I would go for a stone colour so not too dissimilar to what you've got. Little Greene does a good stone colour too but will work out a bit expensive. This is Oxford stone by farrow and ball. If you were doing the windows and front door then maybe an old white with door and windows in french grey...See MorePainting our whole house
Comments (10)I think most of the non-pro's who comment on here love interior design so aren't likely to have used a pro tbh but I may well be wrong! I'd have a word with AJ, you can also look at her design dilemma suggestions for others houses if you go onto her profile. alternatively click onto the find pro section and search for designers in London. You can have a look at their galleries, reviews and indicative costs. Or you could just post each room on here and all types of people will provide feedback! The potential downside of this is you may not get a cohesive look, plus it may be time consuming for a whole house. In terms of the hall, white needs light to work and the end looks a little dark although that may just be the pic as my iPad turns even the brightest rooms dark! The tiles also appear more cream than white so maybe a white with a yellow or even a red undertone may work best or a pale, warm neutral. You could also go for a colour, the floor will stand out whatever...See MoreHow to repair damaged exterior plinth of house?
Comments (0)What is the best solution to repair or make good a damaged exterior plinth of a house? A drain pipe burst which required the path to be dug up - this caused a big crack in the concrete plinth of the house - the finish of which was poor; the concrete is already starting to crack away and will fall out once a cold snap hits. I’m looking for a permanent solution to this, could rebuild the entire plinth or build something over the cracked part? Any advice would be much appreciated!...See More

2 years agoAmmonite is a lovely pale grey. I would get a match pot and paint it on some A4 card and see how it looks outside the front of the house. Use blue tack if it will stick! You can then see how it looks in daylight. Leave it there for a few days and see how you feel about it.
The picture below is Ammonite but it looks a bit beige in this picture?
