So excited to here about your theme! We are currently extending our house with a similar theme and colour style. We have gone with 'Solver Parchment' in our kitchen (and most of the new section actually), it is not a yellow or cream colour, more of a beige undertone. Lots of warmth and not too strong. Quite similar to half strength Dulux Hog Bristle. (We don't have kitchen cabinets just yet). In the master bedroom we have gone with 'Taubmans Morning Fog ' which is a lovely duck eggy blue colour, very calming. Could also work with your blue accents. Both match with my Laura Ashley wallpaper feature walls very nicely (Laura Ashley Josette in Duck Egg and Sable). Ceiling, cornice, archs and skirts etc all in 'Wattyl Magic White'. Nice and fresh. See pics - please excuse the samples messiness, they have been rolling around in my glove box for a while. Look forward to hearing what you go with and seeing a pic.

You could also go deeper tones of existing colour with white or light cream trims. Colours like Dulux Wheatmeal, Jodhpurs, Wax Way, Birdseed, Brasso or more in the brown family like Osso Bucco. Depends whether you want to go with traditional Mediterranean colours or put a more contemporary spin on it. If you want to go contemporary, I'd considering hiring a colour consultant.

The only part that possibly should have been accented is the verandah section. Start by giving it all and undercoat to cover the maroon. I’d paint it all a white that is right tone for your blue roof, maybe white on white and then accent the porch in a darker shade like Dulux linen white Do you know what the blue actually is?

It is of a certain style and certain era , so it would take a lot to significantly change it . Embrace it -- someone who doesn't want that won't buy it , but lots like the character and personality . It is pleasant enough as it is , no-one ( potential buyers included ) are going to shake and look away . Personally , I'd leave the screen doors , as they are usefulish , and they fit and portray the era , BUT the entrance door ( s ? ) and surrounds and screens I'd do in a black gloss . Again just me , I'd do a couple of big ( 1 metre tall x 600 or more wide ) pots , one each side of the steps , with 'older' shrubs in each , probably gloss black to match the doors . Actually , thats probably a lie , because if it was me , I would have done the gutters in a bright red , the door/s in bright red , the pots in -- yes -- bright gloss red . And is the right side railing missing the 'cross' ? Get a builder / handyman / DIY if you want , to me things like that show a lack of detail ( if it actually is missing ) .
