House painting - outside walls

Kazz · 22-01-2006, 04:43 PM

Well does anyone paint their house walls? if so what colour have you found the most fun. Looking for something bright, and funky.

If they have to be painted I thought this year instead of cream I'd go for a colour.

I have considered white with square black trellis

but then thought what about colour?

Oh meant to say its the back of the house up to the top of the downstairs windows and a brick shed wall close to the house. The garden faces South West, and gets sun all day mostly though afternoon through to early evening and very light.

We have one wall on our bungalow that we paint, we normally just paint it white.

How about a nice pale yellow???

Yeah I've had pale yellow/creamI wouldn;t have painted it myself but someone had other ideas while I was at work

so now I have ainted walls

May go white this year and put up square black trellis on the shed wall and maybe the same on the house wall.

white with black trellis sounds nice and fresh looking.

Kazz · 22-01-2006, 05:04 PM

I mean its only paint

if I don;t like it I can always redo it.

Idea's from dogweb have been china blue and terracota.

I will look at samples this week and let you know my thoughts and show you when its done

More ideas please all gratefully accepted and pictures f your own painted walls would be most wecome.

We had the back of our house painted last summer......Dulux Buttermilk, not very adventurous but I like the colour and it always looks clean...

My whole house has to be painted and am in a terrace so cant be too adventurous with the colours!!! When I bought the house is was painted a dirty grey colour with black contrast. It is still like it now after three years (been doing up inside) but hope to be getting at least the front done this year. Will chose a cream colour with black contrast for the window cills etc.
