I know your bricks are light but your not going to see much of them when your facing the house as bed 1 is full render, the door is black and then the garage is cedar, so the brick is basically just a few strips either side of each of these things. I would suggest trying to break it up a bit more by having a lighter render to complement your bricks and fascia and/or matching the front door to the garage by staining it cedar? I think its best to stick to three colours on a facade. Your bricks and Sandbank seem like they will be a close match so they would be considered one colour. So at the moment your colours are Ironstone, Sandbank and Cedar. You could try something like this perhaps if your not married to the cedar look garage. It might open up your options more so you can match your render to your garage door, which will balance the house: Roof: Ironstone Gutters: Ironstone Downpipes: Sandbank Fascia: Shale Grey or Sandbank Render: Shale Grey Window frames: Ironstone/black Window Surround on bed 1: Ironstone Garage door: Shale Grey Front Door: Ironstone Hi there, we have classic cream gutters, fasciaโs, roller door and undercover carport.
