House Exterior Design - Idea Generation

The windows are uniformly the same all around. There are no more wooden windows with muntins. The picture shows a snapshot during the window replacement.

Now I see it too.. I hadn't fully opened the photo. Well then, especially in that case, you should be careful not to take away everything that makes the house what it is.

That’s why I am here :)

First of all, replace the dull lattice on the left of the garages with a rectangular one.
...

That is the least problem.

The mailbox and the house number as well as possibly the outdoor lamps are also part of the modernization/redesign.

...
Next, in my opinion, there is also the reddish plinth: I would give it a dark gray.
...
:)

...

The railings front and back, light gray, which does not contrast so much with the house. Otherwise, the house would be a white-gray monotony :)
...

Is it practical to paint a railing of this type (powder-coated) or does one get a new railing for the work?

...
And now here it comes: front door
...

It will already be white :(

...
... and shed either deep black or another accent color, otherwise the house would be a white-gray monotony :)

My wife imagines the garden house in Swedish red...

...
I am also a gray-person. Gray looks discreetly modern, but it is not always the right choice.
...

Inside, gray tones dominate the picture. The living room and upper floor have gray floors, as I already showed in the house pictures thread. The bathrooms are gray too :)

That is the least problem. The mailbox and the house number as well as possibly the outdoor lights are also subject to modernization/redesign. Yes, but even the smallest efforts can show you the way and make everything appear a bit more harmonious.

Can a railing of this type (powder-coated) be reasonably painted or is a new railing already worth it for the work?

I once had such things made of plastic – after cleaning with lye, they could be painted very well with good paint. Cost: no idea... 100€? If it absolutely does not hold, you can always do it new.

Yes, then just take the Swedish red as an accent! It is a pity, however, that it would not be found again on the house.

I only know your bare hallway ;) Inside I would always consider things differently than outside. Different color rules apply there – often there are of course connections, like the modern design of the terrace, relating to lawn and nature.

We just haven’t put anything on the walls yet :( :) (Except for our first picture in the kitchen ...)

That you’re not sparing with decoration, we’ve known at the latest since the last pictures in the house pictures thread. :)

You also know almost all the other rooms, since I’ve already introduced them in the house pictures thread :)

You also know THAT chair ... :cool:

An idea :)

Not yet :)

The coloring of the garden shed has been cleverly combined by the previous owners with the coloring of the railing :cool:

I can see the matter won’t be simple ...

The main thing is that it’s not too late yet ... :rolleyes: :oops:

Basically, the following question arises first:

The house is to receive a new coat of paint (facade and roof overhangs) and in the process, the facade will be repaired.

Is it "worth" replacing the plaster with a more modern (?) smoother plaster, as this probably (?) fits better with the windows?

Replacing the terrace railing would be a shame in terms of material, as it is only a few years old. Can it be recolored with reasonable effort or is the effort too great?

Certainly, if the painters are already on site, it would be easy to redesign the base in the process.
