We started laying new paving at our 20-year-old house. I chose a gray mix made of concrete. Now part of it is installed, and it looks quite awful—probably also because the paving at the neighboring houses is already dull gray.
I actually like the paving, but right now it appears bright gray-blue. It just doesn’t fit at all—well, it’s not finished yet. The stairs will still get a stainless steel railing. But now, it might still be possible to change the choice. I didn’t want beige or red originally.
This paving will probably also become grayer and lighter over time, right?

That doesn’t really match, but I would also hope it becomes less noticeable as it gets dirtier.The facade is white but somewhat dirty from age. The wooden fence will be removed completely.Steffi33 schrieb:
What is that metal plate in the middle for?dertill schrieb:
The wooden stakes in the emerging gravel garden go very well with the roof vents.
I find the small cobblestones/granite blocks from the neighbor appealing. Yours wouldn’t stand out as much and also wouldn’t be monotonous.This won’t be a gravel garden. There will be a flower bed instead. Since it’s on the north side, unfortunately not much will grow there.J

I actually didn’t really notice the fence. I was more referring to the wooden windows, the wooden door, the wooden element on the roof, the adjacent carport... all wood, all warm tones.
