I’m thinking a light warm grey for the cladding with basalt roof. (roof is currently faded green with cream and brick house)

My main issues with changing the colours is the windows and door frames are all cream.

The house has some cladding and sandstone brick which I like but I hate cream and green it currently is so it has to go asap.

Interior has all recently been updated by previous owner they had painted white walls and nice gray and white bathrooms but obviously left the the cream windows and door tracks cream.

They do stand out, which I don’t love but not really wanting to repaint all the window trims just yet as it will be very pricy and time consuming.

I love the Tranquil Retreat and White (used this combo on my other property) But I think I need more of a warm grey for this property just to tie it all together with the sandstone bricks and cream windows. I’m really wanting that coastal Hamptons look.

My son took his windows out and sprayed his , cream to black , they turned out great , big job though worth it.

A good combo to modernise and freshen a house with cream windows would be Woodland Grey and Hogs Bristle 1/4.
It would tie in with the current bricks and also would be fine with the cream windows.

Exterior aluminum windows can be painted, silver tea set is popular, tranquil retreat also a fave.

I have a similar problem with dated cream windows. I am having them sprayed white inside and and out.

I like your bricks! I would just spray the roof grey and paint all trims white. Add some hamptons touches in plants and decor and it will look amazing.

Inside your windows look more cream because it looks like a cool white on your walls? A warm white may help, also plantation shutters will make the window frame colour disappear.

Hello. Plantation shutters is all you need. This will brighten your home beautifully. Cream windows disappear.
