Comments (6)I couldn't define the colour. I may need to view on PC screen. I think the exterior is nice, I'm just not certain what gives a coastal/beachy look. Maybe some natural elements like stone or timber? idk! Hopefully others will have better ideas....See MoreColorbond colour scheme advice
Comments (30)Thanks girlguides for your feedback :-) With my limited colour knowledge (LOL) I thought that Windspray looked OK with Basalt - Windspray is definitely a cooler grey but Basalt seems pretty much neutral (i.e. not warm or cool) so I thought it worked when we went to look at samples... You are definitely right though, it is a pretty subtle colour scheme. I think I'm pretty much decided now that the gutters and fascia should be the same colour - so with your suggestion they'd both be surfmist. With your colour scheme, what would you suggest for the balustrades and balustrade/deck posts? I thought a darker colour for them would be best since I want them to recede into the view when sitting on the deck/looking outside....See MoreColorbond roof, gutters and down pipes for 1950’s home extension
Comments (11)I seem to focus on different things to everyone else , so I'll give my take . The red tiles suit -- they are period , and basically expected . It would be difficult to spray them a lighter shade ( Surfmist , silvery grey , silvery blue etc ) so I'd discard those as options . So you are left with charcoal , blue or brown -- the second 2 aren't an improvement IMO , and all 3 will add to the heat . Clean the existing tiles , assuming they are in good condition , and add a similar mid/dark red on the extension . White walls , black windows ( actually , I'd go a charcoal , looks similar but just toned down enough IMO ) , and the red roof is pleasant , if a little boring and predictable . Now the 'detail' parts that grate with me . The existing roof has overhangs , no overhangs , gutters , no gutters , barge boards , no barge boards -- it's no consistent . So here's you chance to make it flow better . AND the other thing -- the 'skirting' timber has warped enough to be annoying . I don't like it being white -- it makes it too bulky . Maybe , just maybe , doing this base in a charcoal or even silvery charcoal would make the gaps less obvious , and maybe I'm OCD , but I'd probably rip most or all of the 'lower' wood off , and replace , but $200-300 of paint may help hide it , so that may be worth a go . Assuming you are sticking with the roof colour too , I'd actually do the one 'top' rail ( around 600mm from the ground in the front ) in a similar colour to the roof -- maybe a bit brighter red . If I was really picky , I'd also suggest going for a darker colour grey on the steps too -- the existing one is fine , but it's dated , plus if you do the bottom 'skirt' in charcoal , this will look too light and too obvious ....See MoreAnia Dabliu
