Hi guys - I have moved into my new home in the hills and would like to spruce it up a bit. You will see in the photo's it is brick with a timber façade. The gutters appear to be woodland grey. Since these photo's I have cleaned the deck and front rails back to a pine colour which desperately need some oil and love. Any suggestions on colour changes or otherwise to the front to make it a little more appealing?

Comments (17)You need pop.... I do not think gray would give you enough. Maybe you could paint the door red and replace the awning with something more refined. if you could find some of the of the same or coordinating bricks from the chimney then you could make two poles out of them and a wooden roof painted white. Or for a less costly route just paint the door some vibrant color an all the trim a nice clean white. You could also get some potted plants for a little more color....See MoreNeed help with exterior colours / facade
Comments (32)You can get any colour paint you like in any strength - 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full - its only a colour, so they will mix it to your request. Have you made yourselves a colour board? if not, you will need to get all your selection colours together and then go to bunnings or a paint shop and get some sample pots of the colours you are debating. (yes it will cost to get sample pots, but seriously you need to do it - and get the varying strengths in the same colour as well). If you are worried about the render colour marking, go the 1/2 strength on the render and 1/4 on the mouldings. Your Wow factor will come with your varying textures - brickwork/render and trims/timber doors, and the wrought iron. I'm guessing you have exterior lighting? some beautiful exterior lights will be the icing on the cake....See MorePLEASE!!! Need help with exterior colours / facade.. PLEASE!!!
Comments (4)I found a website that might be quite helpful for you http://www.colourtouch.com.au/ to visualise what colours and finishes could look like on your house. You can choose a style of house that closely matches yours then choose a number of set schemes, or start with a blank canvas and play around with any colour / finish you like....See MoreEntry facade/front facade colour suggestions sought
Comments (5)What are the houses (street / neighborhood) around you like? Many houses being renovated and moving away for the original designs? Or, more minimal cosmetic facelifts? With your spotted gum decking, you'll have a timber clash with the front door. Might need to work around that as well as maintaining connection to the street / area. Kate is on the money ... put the new deck in and upload a picture then. Too many variables with how the deck will look when finished vs the front door and style of the home etc....See MoreTribbletrouble44152k7 Trek
