Good evening everyone,

We are currently planning the exterior design of our house and would appreciate advice from those with building experience 🙂

How did you approach the color scheme for the outside? For example, the roof tile color, window frames, front door, garage door, and so on?

There is always the option to choose RAL colors... Has anyone done this, or how did you coordinate your colors?

(PS: Our house will be white, and the tiles/windows/front door, etc., will be in a dark gray/light black tone...)

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Kind regards
C

Well... someone here is likeable! 😉

Maybe a green (British racing green) terrace railing? 😀

How are the windows?
The windows are white... in hindsight, I might have chosen a light gray, similar to the window sills... but oh well, they work with the red and the plaster as well...
It’s definitely much harder to find a good combination, but that way it doesn’t look so sterile.
I don’t know why everyone prefers this white/anthracite combo?
Is it just because it’s simple?

I printed it out right away and placed it on my husband’s keyboard, because this is exactly our problem. Thanks. 🙂

... while the translation from woman to man is straightforward. The reverse, however, is a real challenge! 😀

That makes things somewhat easier for us. I am a huge fan of orange. When I saw the roof tiles at our builder’s, a Mediterranean orange-red tile immediately caught my eye. When the builder also offered it to me at the price of the standard tiles, the decision was clear. The facade will also be painted in a matching shade of orange.

In any case, I am happily learning here that the time of dull gray is coming to an end. It’s even better when the rock garden dies off and green comes back to life.

Mullioned windows? What type of plaster?
