Ideas for updating large 70's brick exterior - Colours?
Comments (9)Congratulations Aaron on finding your "Forever home" & wanting to preserve it's 70's vibe. It does look like a big project to get your teeth into! I would think the black to be a bit strong & tend towards a warmer tone with the brick. Sandstone is also a light stone with yellows, apricots & warm tones. Woodland Grey from the Colorbond range has olive/brown tones which might suit. It depends on the vision you are trying to achieve but it looks like a natural modern style would suit the theme of the house. By that I mean taking cues from nature for colours. Good luck!...See Morewhite on white exterior paint colours
Comments (1)There are so many things to consider, for example the orientation of the house is it a North facing yard which will attract lots of natural sunlight, where South facing is shaded and colours will appear deeper / darker. What colour are the gutters and fascias and roof? Aluminium windows are these pearl white? As you probably know there are many shades of white, that have very different undertones, some throw red, blue or yellow. From the samples you have painted you appear to be drawn to a "greige" combination of grey and beige a smart colour for todays exteriors so certainly on trend. A lovely greige I have just recommend for a client is a Deluxe colour called Calf skin, paired with natural white trims and a grey pebble large garage roller door has come up beautifully. If you are in Sydney happy to assist with a colour consultation. Worth the money...See MoreWhich white for external painting of 1962 timber house
Comments (2)We have used Ecolour interior and exterior paints on our renovation and are very happy with this paint. It is low VOC and made in Australia. There is a store in Byron Bay, if that's not too far from you, or it can be ordered online and delivered to your home. You could speak with them regarding the suitability of their products for external sun in Queensland. They are made for Australian conditions, are advertised as environmentally friendly. They can colour match with Australian paint companies. Though for exact colours the paint companies always recommend using their own brand. You could also go to Dulux Australia's website and chat to a colour consultant online, re suggested choices for a white for external walls in Queensland sun, with terracotta roof to go with the colours you've mentioned. They are very helpful I've found. We have Snowy Mountains half trims and doors externally, which we chose as it wasn't too bright in the northern sun. You can also buy A4 sized colour swatches from Dulux to put up against your wall outside and see how the light reflects and what tones are coming off it. Place your other swatches of colours against it to see how they suit. Do you see any other houses in the neighbourhood that are similar colours to what you are hoping for? Do you have any Snowy Mountains Quarter left that you could paint on a board to see what it looks like outside with the other colours that you like?...See Moreexterior white to match surfmist garage door
