Hello everyone,
we are currently considering how we want/could design the exterior appearance of our house. It starts with a new coat of paint and some minor repairs to the facade and gutter. Then we thought about removing the rough plaster completely and giving the house a smoother (more modern) render. Of course, that changes the cost significantly. The wood in the entrance area and under the roof overhang also needs painting. The question here is whether to keep the natural wood tone or switch to white. Of course, that is all a matter of personal taste...
The appearance of our terrace railing is also a matter of taste. We might have chosen a more subtle design if we had bought it... 😎 It is an aluminum substructure that is basically indestructible. We are still thinking about whether to replace the railing at some point. That’s why everything should look more “harmonious” in the end, if you know what I mean 🙂
When someone from the painting company came to inspect, their first words were definitely to keep the plaster as it is, since you probably won’t find anything easier to maintain, and you can also do a lot with the paint.
Here are photos with the old wooden windows:
The front door will be replaced in a few weeks. The new door is white and features three square glass elements:
Ideas... suggestions... opinions... are welcome 😀

Earlier I took a look around; white and gray are rather new. Most houses are colored in green or beige/yellow/brown tones.
Our house is gray with a green entrance. I think when it’s time for a new paint job, it will be green, just like before. The old house was always green.

The old house was always green.In our town, a house with a green entrance and otherwise white window frames is also currently being built. We are excited to see how it will look when finished.Schimi17917 Apr 2021 08:08ypg schrieb:

Next, in my opinion, is the reddish base: I would give that a dark gray.
The railings at the front and back, a light gray that doesn’t stand out too much from the house. Without any “dark accents.” Maybe the handrail in dark gray. Beams of the canopy also light gray.
...We’ve now had several painters on site. The overall consensus is heading that way 😉Here are the scenarios:
- Roof eaves white
- Canopy white
- Railings: what is green will be white, what is brown will be light gray
- Base unchanged
or (painter’s view)
- Roof eaves white or light gray (wife: hmm ...)
- Canopy white or light gray (wife: hmm ...)
- Railings: what is green will be light gray, what is brown will be a slightly darker gray (wife: hmm ... really?)
- Facade smoother and white
- Base: darker gray (wife: hmm ... and wrinkled her nose)
Now here’s the thing! Later, my wife also said: hmm ... hmm ... hmm ... if some gray is going on the house, then the base could also be accented in (dark) gray ...
A tinted facade is unfortunately (not yet) under consideration. We’ll see how it turns out in the end ...

The house can also tolerate vegetation – for example, a wisteria.

I really can’t imagine that at all ...... because of the (already) red roof 🙂Schimi1791 schrieb:
