If you are selling a house then I would be more worried about your creamy yellow windows. They date the house but more particularly, people are funny about painting aluminium windows as they think it is a big deal so this could be a turnoff cause they think they have to replace them with new.


 


I'd be looking at painting these a much more up to date colour. Look up Dulux Duratec as they  are the kind of colours people expect windows to be these day. Zeus Timberland (or the nearest paint colour to this) might be a good colour for your house as it will go with your roof and the bricks.


 


If your porch is concrete I would paint this in the same colour.


 


Generally when I design an exterior scheme, I match garage to gutters. If you don't want to paint the garage door, then I would give it a lick of white paint to make it clean. Or you could paint this a softer taupe/grey and match the gutters to this.

I'd give the guttering a dark chocolate with a subtle purple under the eaves. Then use a paint site to test the colours on the garage door. I'd consider sunset coloured stripes on the garage door panels, not too bright but cheery.

The porch has green & white small round shape tiles.  The garage door is fairly new, think at the time they had a choice of wheat or primrose.  They chose the lighter primrose (antique white colour).  Don't think painting the garage door is included in their to do list.   Think that whoever buys it will end up rendering it a grey/neutral colour and adding timber plantation shutters.

Yeah, I was basing those comments on the cream windows staying. I'd get cream blinds for inside to make the window frames less visible  :^O

The garage door invites good stripes  :^O


There seems to be bright green plants nearby that would look great against a cool striped background, whatever colours look best on the paint test site. The beauty of those sites and apps is you can play with them and test colour scheme ideas.

Well tulip*place, I think I will bow out of this thread as joz is the expert lol!


 


But if you want a (professional) opinion, message me. I'm happy to help out if you want to send me some clearer pics that show the house front on. I can send you some exact colours then. 🙂

Agree with Joe.



 


i believe for sale to keep it at two colors, brown gutters to match the roof and if the OP is going to paint the window frames, eves and the garage door to do it in the same color as the brick.


 


glad someone agrees with me:-D
