Help me choose colour pallet for living room
Comments (1)Hi! I'm thinking a midnight blue or Prussian blue, a warm light grey, a warm white and accents of black. Perhaps if you are feeling brave, accents of chartreuse!...See MoreChoosing the Dulux paint colour for cabinets and splashback. Help!
Comments (35)Lea, I got them from the Dulux website. I screenshot certain colours, then posted them to thread. Of course, it’s always best to get sample pots and try your selections where you will be using them...need to see them in all lighting and in combination with each other. You may want to speak with a colour consultant at a good paint shop; they are very knowledgeable and helpful. Also, lots of great articles on Houzz. You can can also post a Design Dilemna if you would like the wider community to mull over your colour palette and offer advice! Cheers....See Morechoosing a paint colour
Comments (1)Without seeing the rest of the colours , purely a guess . But I wouldn't do a matt roof , and I would be reluctant to do monument at all on my front door -- the only people that will ever visit are the Mormans and vacuum cleaner sales people . Any friends you had won't be able to find the entrance , and will defriend you haha ....See MoreHelp us choose an exterior paint colour - 80's brick bungalow
Comments (6)I look at the first picture , and the most noticeable thing ( in a good way ) is the letterbox -- its an offwhite by the looks of it . So I'd do all the trim in that , and it even works with the roof ( sort of ) . The garage door is okay as it is -- the lighter tones elsewhere will balance that IMO . Ideally , I'd look at changing the garage door to a cedar timber at some stage -- again that would work with the roof , bricks , trim , etc . Probably just me , but I'm with you about going darker -- it may look 'dingy' , but none of them seem a fit with the roof IMO . Even something like surfmist ( off-white with a slight blue tinge ) doesn't gel in my mind . If you had the budget , and did want to look more modern , THEN maybe go a charcoal like monument , BUT with the cedar ( or cedar stained ) garage door , and 15 or so 40x40 battens , again cedar stained , basically the length of the 3 right side poles , so there's still that 2 metres or so in the middle that is 'open' . The cedar door on the left , and battens on the right , will visually look reasonably balanced and modern , without being too symetrical . The downside is it will cut down the light a bit , so depends if thats worth more than looking modern ....See MoreDean Quinlivan
