We're undergoing a big renovation starting with the loft, which will be getting white windows in the dormer at the back. These are already ordered I think as they start in 2-3 weeks. We were also going to have the rear bedroom windows replaced with white windows at the same time, although these haven't been ordered yet. There will be four small white framed windows on the side of the semi-detached house, one on the ground, two middle and one on the top floor.
We're planning a kitchen diner in a couple of years, probably with French doors which we'd recently thought about having agate/Painswick grey both inside and out. I think this would look OK with the white upstairs, as it will be an obvious extension.
But now I come to my dilemma. Would it be too much or look really mix and match if the front windows (three box bays) were also pale grey? The render will be painted white. Or would I be better off painting the render a slightly different colour with white window frames? I don't think I want both to be white. The front door will be whatever goes with the rest of it, probably a dark but muted blue or something.
If I'd thought properly about this earlier I could probably have got grey for the dormer, but I think it might be too late for that.
