Need help with exterior colour scheme
Comments (11)Your welcome Mari, like I said you already have a good eye. I don't think you necessarily have to paver the whole drive either. I’d recommend doing driveway improvements after you’ve done the major stuff that might scuff up the existing driveway, like landscape contractor or fence guys with equipment and extra dirt or stone being scraped off of it. I was just thinking a skinny band of pavers to help out, maybe 3’ or however wide the covered walk is on the side next to the house. It looks like the existing drive is asphalt. You can just saw cut a nice straight edge and then install the pavers next to it. I also did the band across the end to help fix the cracked piece. You could have the asphalt resealed black to make it pop or since it looks like most of the sealer is worn off you could probably pressure wash and do a colored acrylic sealcoat. It might work but you’d have to do more research and ask some professionals in your area of Australia. I like the idea of a lighter color on the drive so it doesn’t get intensely hot on summer days. Here were a few of the color choices off this website I pulled up.

Comments (23)That is an interesting idea to paint the receding walls of house front in either 1/4 or 1/2 strength Ironstone, but I would suggest a trial run by painting a sample on large piece of cardboard (or similar), then see what you think. Ironstone for posts would look good. So that leaves the forward front wall, and you're painting it white? Is that tree still obscuring the view of this section? If so, perhaps remove its lower branches (or replace with a stunning flowering feature tree) so that section of house is more visible. If you plan to have furniture on your verandah, what about a gorgeous white wicker/cane setting in front of the lighter strength Ironstone painted walls to help balance out the white forward wall? Just some ideas......See MoreHelp identifying this exterior colour scheme
