Help me choose a facade colour (pictures attached!)

[Paintmyhouse]

After two years of renovations, extensions, garden landscaping .... house finally near completion. So sick of the tatty exterior but we cannot decide what colour to paint the tiles between upstairs & downstairs windows & triangular bits at the top, here's the choice. What would you choose ?
The front door is teal.

Here's the front door and triangular bits (tricky house to photograph!)

Don't paint the tiles it will look awful. Both those colours are too dark for gloomy England. Sorry, very unhelpful, I realise..

I registered to mumsnet purely to answer your question. DO NOT PAINT THE TILES. Ditto wot Hullygully said. Plus, you'll be destroying the entire original look of your house, which is what MAKES your house special. Heritage person writing.

I would leave the tiles - you will forever be repainting otherwise- and repaint the soffits white as your neighbours have done - boring but clean looking.

Thanks so much - would you stick to the original colours and just refresh ?

Yes, just refresh!

Painted tiles look cheap & nasty & like you don't have a clue what you are doing. Don't paint the tiles, but clean them up/renovate them

Door is lovely btw.

What Rockin said. Painting the tiles is a truly awful idea.

Noooo do not paint tiles, it would look awful. I would paint the top triangle boards white and paint the front door a lighter colour as it's very dark, but that's only a personal preference

Agree don’t paint the tiles. I would paint the render and soffits in a similar colour to your neighbours.

I love my front door so that's staying teal 😊

Goodness, no, don't paint the tiles!

Another one for please keep your rosemary tiles!

The front door is pretty - but more cornflower blue than teal, on my screen!

Utter madness to paint the tiles! Don't do it!

Paint the tiles! Nooooo

Don't paint those tiles!!!!!
Front door colour is beautiful. Just need to freshen up the white paint, that's all

The tiles look perfect I wouldn't even refresh them!

I love your front door too. I wanted that colour for the front of our house as were in an area for coloured fascia, but DH vetoed it 😏

Good Lord, don't paint the tiles
You could have them cleaned, but painting them would ruin the character of the house.

The white fascia needs painting.

Also, is it just my screen or are there two different colours of blue for your front door and the wood panels on either side? Close but not quite the same colour?

You could paint the pebbledash cream when you refresh the rest.

I agree, please do not paint the tiles, they look much nicer as they are. I think the real paint is cute but don't know if the black or refreshing the current white might be nicer or age better.

Also came on to say don't paint the tiles (or cancel the cheque )

The exterior isn't tatty at all, the windows and barge boards just need a lick of paint.
