Help with Roof and house Exterior
Hello - could you please help with colours for our roof and exterior paint. The house has no redeeming architectural qualities so we would like to blend it in with the garden. We are on a rural block close to town.
We thought we would use Colorbond Shale Grey for the roof and gutters (is this closest colour to Zinc Aluminum?), Dulux Lexicon (white) fascia & eaves.
Exterior bricks options include Dulux Linseed, Cashmere or Dune (all quite different). Hope to replace some/all of the white posts at the front with natural timber posts.
The front and back doors and back white posts could be Dulux Domino to blend in with the shed/house at the east.

Thank you.

Comments (5)for bright and breezy go for pale yellows and oranges - blues & greys are everywhere - or look at light greens You can go with Surfmist for the roof and facias to keep it lighter - I would even do a Zinc roof with this design for a clean, modern minimalist look. Then look at Dulux Tinker Light at half & quarter tones if you want to go into the yellows or try Dulux Fresh Frappe or Misty Moore for the greens ... Try something different. If you have a neutral roof, you can go crazy with colours - and change them more easily whenever you want to update your look. Good Luck! :)...See MoreExterior house colour scheme (roof paint walls)
Comments (3)Terracotta roof tiles. Then you could either go with steel greys and blues, varying shades and tones of terracotta or a combination of both. Have included some Dulux colours showing how versatile terracotta can be to perhaps give you some inspiration......See MoreHelp with Roof and house Exterior
Comments (15)Do you plan on replacing the existing windows ? Are you happy with the garage door, do you want a colour that will blend with it or do you want a complete change ? I suppose you need to decided do you want to blend in with the street and the surroundings or would you like to be bold and stand out from the crowd. is the garage door & window frames black at the moment ? It's hard to tell. Maybe you just need to change the cream to a timeless grey as suggested. That way you could save the expense and the hassle of new doors and windows. If your in Northern Aust I would go a shale grey on the roof as dark roofs can be hot. You could do all your trim black to match the windows & g-door...See MoreExterior House and Roof Colour - Help please!
Comments (8)Hi Pele - I hope you don't mind, but to my mind the thing that immediately jumps out at me as not fitting is the colour of the orange terrace tiles! The wall colour and roof colour seem in the earth/cool ochre range, and sort of complement the cool grey driveway even though they are different. The terrace tiles being bright orange clash! If you do/don't have the budget, I would prioritise painting or staining these tiles the Basalt colour which is a deeper grey like bluestone! Or even better switch your budget to retiling this area with a deeper grey or bluestone exterior tile. Add a few plant pots - and I love your timber garage door and possibly timber balustrade - and it would be dramatically transformed! I think this would be a better impact-for-dollar than painting the roof tiles which look to me to be in good condition. Good Luck!...See More- 10 years ago
