Do you like brightly coloured painted houses?

Question

In the UK in many towns you'll often see streets of houses painted in bright colours. This is very common in coastal areas but can be seen elsewhere. Some say it's quaint others it's an eyesore, but what's your opinion and do you have a colourful house?

I mean I don’t like bright colours personally but I guess they look cute.. put it this way, it’s better then an old chipped painted house but at the same time if you live in one then imagine all the tourists taking insta pics in front of them all the time which can get pretty tedious.

I’m imaging the colourful houses in Chelsea in london or Notting hill haha.. too much attention. But pretty!

I like it, it's pretty. It's eye catching and different from seeing the same bland beige/white houses. We've seen some houses with crazy ugly colors, but most if time I just thought "mm I don't know that color is kinda ugly lol" but that's about it, I don't demand people change the color of their homes.

I really love visiting countries in which bright colors are traditional. The ones I've been to are Ireland and Mexico. They make my eyes smile.

Do you like brightly coloured painted houses?

I lived in apartments for years and got sick of white walls. When we bought our house, my wife and I painted the rooms in our house colorfully. Some are cheerful and some are peaceful.

They're good if the entire neighborhood looks that way. Buildings in Scandinavia are often colorfully painted... Bergen Norway is a prime example.

I know of a guy who painted his house purple just to piss off the local HOA, which sued him... and lost. All other houses in the HOA were beige or tan.

I find that pink a little too much but generally it can be really pretty, I remember the little places in Italy along the coast and the beautiful colorful houses and it was really beautiful

Oigit · Answer

I wouldn't paint my house a bright color. But I don't mind them. Also if I was having a bad day or the weather was crap that would be the street that I would want to walk down. Just because it might help brighten my mood.

I've been joking with the missus we should paint ours pink. Living in a northern city here in ol' Blighty it'd stand out like a sore thumb. I love the coastal villages and the colours.

Sadly the missus wants to paint ours grey. Sigh!

In some places it's nice. I was in Italy a few years ago and visited Burano, a small island next to Venice. Lots of house like this. Burano, Italy

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Sure, I'd love a purple house... beats the hell out of the many towns that look run down and shoddy due to extremely harsh winters, where everyone's houses have the same kind of protection and its all some boring grey or brown color.

goaded · Answer

I like it. There's a lot like that in Bristol. Mine's a boring white.

AndrésC64 · Answer

I do like brightly colored houses. I like bright colors in general, but they don't suit me personally very well.

DJB72 · Answer

It depends on the character of the area. If all the houses are vibrant hues that's cool, but one wanker suddenly painting the exterior luminous green is annoying

dustybiker · Answer

Depends on the colors. Those are pretty offensive. Wouldn’t whine about it though. Just paint mine black.

mstbooblover · Answer

Towns generally being boring grey, some coloured houses may add something good for the eyes and mind.

LegallyBad · Answer

Yes I do but it does depend on where they are based. Near the coast makes more sense but in the middle of London then it seems redundant and a waste of colour.

maximumpower · Answer

It does spruce up an otherwise boring neighborhood. Quite popular in the Caribbean.
