Colorbond 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 MoreColour scheme advice
Comments (6)I love it! Its a natural color palette and will look beautiful with the spotted gum floors. The wood accents will be fantastic and the green is subtle so tones of green, greys and latte colors will be really serene. Good luck...See MoreSeeking advice on an exterior colour scheme
Comments (18)Hi, You've received some great ideas above, and definitely landscaping will play a pivotal role in softening the facade of your house and providing street appeal. As you are looking to sell it's important to look to the street your building on and the colours of the houses around you too. Will you be having the front facade fully rendered as above? If so keep the tones neutral to appeal to a wider market. This size house is probably going to appeal to a professional couple which means they will want something with not too much maintenance. A colorbond roof is a great choice for security and ease of maintenance. Choosing a charcoal like Monument for your roof and gutter adds depth. Consider Surfmist for the Fascia as this will lift and lighten the front. For the Front Portico Piers I would choose a contrasting render colour to add depth to the design. Your window frames should match your roof. If you do an Aluminium framed front door this colour will be the same as your windows and you would want to match your front door to it. If you do a timber front door frame you can paint your front door and frame the same colour. which will be more consistent and appealing to the eye. I wouldn't suggest doing anything too wild colour wise for your front door as you have a narrow facade and it will polarise buyers. Keep your garage door as close as you can to your render colour to give your facade the illusion of size. An exposed aggregate driveway in a colour such as Labassa would pull it all together. Depending on where you are building, the other consideration is Developer Guidelines. If you are doing a knock down rebuild this won't affect you, however if you building in a new estate your Developer may require you to stick to a colour palette they have created. I work for a Volume Builder as a Interior Design Consultant. I hope this helps. Cheers Deborah...See MoreColour scheme advice please
Comments (10)Kat Jat - choosing colours is a slow process to get it right. Pottsy's idea of getting some towels or even pieces of fabrics in colours you would like is a good start to check the colour in the room. You then have to consider the aspect of the room - e.g. a south facing room will be much cooler than a west facing one, and often have more muted natural light so you need colours that won't mud in dull light and add warmth to the room. A west facing room is the opposite and needs more cooling colours, especailly when the afternoon light floods in. Keeping the colours fresh helps too. Once you establish what look to be the best colours for a room, use your fabric samples and towels, visit your local paint shop and ask to see their colour atlas (generally hidden under the counter). This contains hundreds of variations of shades so you can find just the right shade for your room. If you can pick up a colour chip good, but many colours never make it to chips. Then go on the Paint companies' websites, download photos of your rooms and you can do a virtual paint of the room to give you an idea of that shade in your room. Unfortunately colours do not reproduce well on screen but it will help you narrow colours down more and then you can pick up some paint chips or some sample pots to be doubly sure of the colour in the room. Leave the colours in the room for a few days too to check them out in all lights and at different times of the day. It is a slow process, but if you want to DIY, then i it guarantees the most success. PS - Funny Pottsy, I think blue is the perfect colour for a bathroom, to me it represents water and cleanness and freshness. Of course there are blues and there are blues, getting the right one matters. :)...See MoreKathy
