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 😀

Schimi179121 Mar 2021 16:05I really cannot imagine that at all...
Oh no, it looks good, but it fades and becomes unattractive very quickly.
I know of two houses with red accents in the facade. They repaint every few years. One of them added an extra floor. The upper floor is clad in gray, and the bay window is red. The other house is a 1930s build, where the red gable fits really well with the existing beige and brown tones.

I don’t either 🙂

A soft green or light blue could also work. When we were browsing online recently, we saw a house with a pastel blue facade. That’s not an option for us at all.
What you do see occasionally around here are red roofs with very pale yellow facades. But my wife doesn’t find that appealing – and that’s what really matters … 😎
I could imagine that for the house. Although there’s still the green railing…
My wife sees only white for the facade, although “white” and “white” aren’t always the same shade 🙂
