Hello,

The house is located on a hillside, and its width is only 8.50 m (28 feet). The facade is going to be repainted, and I am looking for a certain flair or design.

When viewed from a distance, the facade appears boring and extremely stretched due to the house’s height relative to its narrow width and the uniformly white color.

Is there any online tool available where you can visualize color schemes on the house? Or perhaps a consultant or company, for example a facade paint manufacturer, that offers design services like this?

Best regards,
Leo

Please upload a picture. We are definitely better than a program 🙂

There are configurators available for facing bricks - probably for plaster as well. Just google it...

Hello.

Attached are 2 pictures. If they are too large, please resize them, as I am unable to do it myself!

Is there already a gray coating ("basement") visible there? Are you allowed to change the facade color according to the building regulations/planning permission?
Generally, horizontal bands tend to make a building look more compact. Or three bands, with the lower one wider than the upper one. However, I would only darken the basement and half a story above, leaving the upper part white. A photo without the bush would also be helpful 😉

P.S. I would include the balconies in the color scheme for design coherence...

I really like the bright look. To make it more interesting, I would suggest adding a large mural on the wall shown on the left side in the first picture. Traditionally, something like Lüftlmalerei would be used, but of course, any design is possible—there are even graffiti artists who specialize in this type of work.

The balcony could also be made a bit more colorful and inviting. Nothing against wood, but it does appear quite dark. The dormer could also be painted in a lighter shade to match the facade.
