Help on exterior colours for a house with a terracotta roof.
The look I'm trying to achieve is - Gutters in Dulux ' Stepney ' ( medium grey )
Walls - Dulux ' Beige Royal ' ( as shown in pic provided ) I tried this colour as a sample on the wall & it looks much lighter. I quite like the wall colour shown in the pic can someone please advice me of a similar colour ( as the wall on the pic provided ) - I'm looking for a warm ' Beige / Fawn

Help! Which colours go with these bathroom tiles?
Comments (78)That is a hard one with those tiles. I would have to think if you did a white, it would kind of work with the colour of your tiles. At the end of the day, they do need to be replaces, but as you said, due to budgeting reasons, you cannot, I can pass on this photo of a nice bathroom with those tiles for you though for inspiration... : )...See MoreWhich house/roof colour??
Comments (10)I agree about the grey roof. Did you know that the black roof is banned is certain countries because of its environmental negatives? I also think that a black roof is the ugliest sight. I personally would never have any other roof colour, on a visible roof [ours is a flat roof] than a mid to dark grey. The render does need to be toned down and the garage door needs to change to the same roof grey. The picket fence will be at odds with a modern update of the house - it has too much of the cottage look about it. So you really need to think about what style of home you want to depict before making any more changes. All of your updates then reflect this new look.

Comments (2)To Modernise this without rendering or retiling the roof I would probably recommend to go darker with the trims. My top pick as a colour consultant would be Dulux's Domino for the trim. It will be a little bolder and create a more modern contemporary feel. You can see it pictured below as the trim. Obviously this house has painted their bricks in the shade "teahouse" however it will still look much better on your 1980s "peru" colour bricks!

Comments (5)It is 'of a certain era' , and without spending big $$$ , that's always going to be the base , and why not ? I'd take the cue from the lower brickwork , and do the windowsills and gutters in a tone thats more charcoal than brown , but with a slight brown aftertaste . Likewise , I'd redo the upper level in weatherboard , whether its painted , coated , synthetic , but personally I wouldn't mix styles -- scyon or render done in that orange tone will look like an obvious add-on ( yes , I know , the well-worn boards do that too , but look at how the concrete railing has come up with a paint ) . Basically , keep it looking like up-dated period IMO . Basically , get rid of all the green , and the awnings , and work with the orange , the 'interesting' aspect of the brown , the roof , and the small bit of white ....See More
